Our take
Texas Hold’em is a betting game, and chips are what turn a pile of cards into poker night. They stack, they count in a glance, and they slide across the table with a satisfying clatter that coins never manage.
A set of five hundred in a case covers a full table with room to spare, and the case keeps every colour together between games. Blackjack works with the same chips, if you want to bet there too.
If you only play now and then for fun, matchsticks or paper points do the job. If poker night is a regular thing, chips are the upgrade people notice first.
