Poker Tables

At poker.com they have a really cool step by step process on how to build a poker table. However, no matter how much money you can save, or how much fun that could possibly be, for some of us it’s just not a great idea.

Whether you are accident prone, aren’t the building type, or maybe love to build but can't guarantee the final product will be what you started on, it's okay. We know poker tables can be expensive but at Poker Chest we have REAL poker tables and a few of them are under $500. Don't believe us?

The Origin of Poker Chips

Poker chips have been around since the 1800's, about as the long as the game of poker has been in existence. It all started when players wanted to play with more money than they carried. Yes....even back in those days the same logic existed.

Other smart players had the money but didn't feel safe carrying it around in fear of theft or being robbed on the way to the casino. As a result gambling houses began providing poker chips so that they could continue to bid higher their money would be safe.

Since then poker chips have continued to be used on casino floors today, and some players have a very "personal" attachment to their poker chips... hence the customized poker chip. Some of our favorite custom poker chips are ones that are a little quirky and have a little personality.
