Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Number of poker chips in a set?
   I am helping my sister with a probability assignment in maths and we chose poker as her subject. So i need to make a set of paper chips for us to use because we don't have time to go and buy a proper set. My question is how many of each chip type is there in a beginners poker chip set?

   • ANSWER:
     any amount can be in a set. usually 300/500
     a good way to think about it is how many chips a player has in a game.
     eg, in asmall tournament each player might start with 1000 points. this would be made up like this:
     8 25's = 200 points
     8 100's = 800 points.
     for bigger tournaments we would build a stack like this
     8 25's = 200 points
     8 100's =800 points
     4 500's = 2000 points
     7 1000's = 7000 points
     1 5000 point chip = 5000 points
     total 15000 points.

     so for a normal tournament say 10 players begin with 15000 points you will need
     80 25's
     80 100's
     40 500's
     70 1000's
     and 10 5000's
     later on in the game you will take the small chips off the table "colour them up" to higher values so you will need more of the larger value chips.
     in this case you will need a chip set of 350-400 chips with 5 different colours.
     cheap chips can be got online and from various hobby stores for between £10-50 or -100. you.ll need a minimum of 3 colours and around 75 chips (they are usually sold in units of 25) to reproduce a poker situation in a class room setting. or just use coins its the same and more convienient.
     the usual values will be 25, 100, 500, and 1000. (maybe 5's and 1's in a cash game.)

     but all the maths in poker comes from the cards not the chips. Mike Caro and david sklansky are the usual "experts" for that stuff and have written some great articles and books on the subject.
     and a great program for poker probability is on the cardplayer.com website, look under tools

   • ANSWER:
     Try the link below, they are only 10p a chip.
     Get more of the lower value chips, then a player can always put 2 together to make a higher value.

     Like 2 x 500 chips to make 1000

   • ANSWER:
     I would break into
     50 white chips @
     150 red chips @
     150 green chips @
     100 black chips @0
     50 blue chips @ or 0
     or you make the values whatever you want
     eg white 10c, red 50c, green , black , blue or 5c

     I dont know the stakes you play at or if you play tournament or ring games but that is how I would do it.

     A lot of casinos use these colours patterns (for the first four) so it should cause less confusion in the long run.

     Good luck on the tables

6. QUESTION:
   Poker chips set on poker stars?
   My boyfriend was shooting to cashout his player points for the poker chips set they have on Poker Stars, but has now set out to use his points on bigger and better things. SO I'd like to purchase these chips or something comprable for his christmas gift. Any recommendations on brands, price I should pay for a good set, etc.?

   • ANSWER:
     personally I like a heavy chip, so I picked up a set of 650 tricolor 14 gram clay chips from Discountcasinogear.com The quality was very good for the price and the shipping was reasonable, but I guess it comes down to how much you want to spend.

     I spent around 0 for my set (with a cheap-o case that I replaced.. it wasn't made for a heavier chip) and got it in about a week and a half. Nextgen are also good and can be found for about the same price. look around on google there are many sites giving advice of what to look for a a good chip.

7. QUESTION:
   Is there anywhere I can get poker chips or a poker set for free?
   100% free, thanks.

   • ANSWER:
     Go around to tag sales. If you see a really cheap set, ask if they'll give it away for free.

     Keep in mind, I think it would be rude to ask for it for free. You ought to at least offer a buck.

8. QUESTION:
   In which stores can I buy a nice set of 500 clay poker chips?
   For example, the quality of the chips I'd prefer are like these

   http://about.pricegrabber.com/rating_getprodrev.php/product_id=5605596/id_type=masterid/form_keyword=500%20poker%20chips/st=product_tab

   I heard some sports stores sells sets of poker chips, but is the quality good?

   • ANSWER:
     Just an FYI, most sets that are listed as clay or clay composite are not clay at all. They are usually molded plastic with a metal inlay. A true set of clay poker chips will typically cost about 1 dollar per chip. Any set of 500 Chips for less that 100 dollars are plastic. A good place to look for deals on poker chips is Ebay. Just be careful about shipping charges, some people will over charge for the shipping. I have added a couple of links to some sites that sell chips of all kinds and one that will make custom clay chips. It all comes down to how much you want to spend and how much use you plan to get out of them. Good Luck.

9. QUESTION:
   Where can I find a set of poker chips for sale with Chinese symbols on them?
   This is part of a challenging internet search I have presented to my students. The problem is nobody seems to be able to find them. They must exist out there somewhere.

   • ANSWER:
     I don't think they do exist unless you are referring to mah jong tiles

10. QUESTION:

11. QUESTION:
    How many chips of each color does each person get in a standard poker set?
    We bought a home poker set. This is what our chips equal to
    white=5
    red=10
    green=25
    blue=50
    black=100

    How many chips should we each get for each person to have 500 to start with?

    Sorry it's a little confusing.
    Thank you! D

    • ANSWER:
      The chips equal whatever you decide they equal (unless you happen to get a set with preprinted values.) Given the values above, it would depend in part on what blind levels you're playing, how many players are playing and what distribution of colors came with the set, but one possible distribution:

      1 black
      2 blue
      4 green
      10 red
      20 white

12. QUESTION:
    Where can I get poker chips and cards for cheap?
    Me, my dad and my older brother never spend any time together, so i figure a "boys night" of hold 'em and drinks at home would be nice. So, where can I get a cheap poker set (chips, cards, etc.)? Does walmart or target sell them?

    • ANSWER:
      I always shop on amazon, i think that's where i got my set for hubby.

13. QUESTION:
    Where can I buy DENVER BRONCOS NFL poker chips set?

    • ANSWER:
      Try searching online. If you can't find any, contact any of the sites that offer custom chips. There may be copyright considerations, however.

      Also try "Rocky Mountain Gambling" something-or-other on the NE corner of Kipling and Colfax. (If it's still there. Been a while since I lived in Denver.)

      Good luck. (And Go Broncos!)

14. QUESTION:
    I ordered a poker chips set and table, when they deliver it...?
    to my door will they need me to sign the package? if im not home will they just leave it at my front door or they will keep it?

    • ANSWER:
      depends who the shipper is.

      UPS will leave things unless you've been flagged as risk or have filed a claim with them before.

      unless you left a phone number or instructions that it must be signed for they will probably leave it.

      they might leave a note on your door and you will have to pick it up, if it's the post office.
