So you just bought a set of 500 chips, but decided to save a bit of cash and skipped on buying the poker chip case at the same time. You are pumped and call up your buddies to come over and play. After they leave you for the night, you look down at the mess. Not only did your friends leave their food and drinks everywhere, your chips are scattered around the table in a huge mess. What’s a guy to do?



So you think: when I bought them, the chips were wrapped in plastic, I’ll just toss them into a plastic bag. No big deal, right? Wrong... Unless you have the cheap discs made out of plastic, it probably will be a big deal.









If you just bought a set of composite chips, it is very important to store them properly in a poker chip case. You don’t have to really worry about them breaking if they are stored improperly. Composite chips are nearly unbreakable, because their inner-core is almost always made of plastic or metal, which reinforces them and makes them strong. Why you definitely need to store them in a poker chip case is because they will rub together in that plastic bag, and over time, you will notice that the color will rub off, leaving white spots or other discolorations on your chips. You just spent a lot of money on these chips, you probably don’t want them to look bad after just a short time.



If you went all out, and bought a set of clay chips, it is especially important to store them in a poker chip case. Why? You just spent a chunk of dough on the best chips that money can buy and you want to take them to your next game in a plastic bag. Not only will you look like a tool, you are also risking the chance that you are damaging the chips. Unlike composite chips, it is possible to break clay chips. If you accidentally drop your plastic bag of chips onto the ground, there is a good chance that some of them will break. The purpose of a poker chip case is to protect your chips and keep them looking new and great for a long time.



So you need to buy a poker chip case. There are many different types and styles to suit your needs. Some things to keep in mind before you buy a poker chip case is where you have your games. If you want to take your chips to your weekly game every week, consider a case that will allow you to travel easily. You can get a case that will hold your chips, cards, and other small things such as dice that has handles, so you can carry it along. If you always host the game at your house, consider a nice wooden case.



If you are buying a high-quality poker chip case, consider it to be almost like a piece of furniture, and pick one that you could leave out in your game room all of the time. A nice poker chip case that is hand-made out of wood and polished to a nice glossy finish would be an excellent investment.



If you’re thinking that you just spent an arm and a leg and can’t afford an expensive poker chip case, do yourself a favor and buy a plastic case that will protect your chips, keep them looking nice, and allow you to keep the bank organized during play. A poker chip case can just be a practical solution to keep your chips looking like the day you bought them, but it also can be a great investment for both the serious and recreational player.
