Decent for the Price August 25, 2010
D. Wu (Dallas, TX)
It is what it is, a chip-set. The case is made to look expensive but it in fact very flimsy, I've had to superglue it already. The chips are nice but the decks it came with are crap (not that it matters that much, you have to switch out decks pretty often if you're playing weekly poker). You can what you paid for (for $40-some dollars my expectations weren't THAT high). I really enjoy the black under cards (to stop from showing the bottom of the deck), those were a great addition that I never even thought of.
Beyond that, I'd say these are good for the value, it's a great set to have at home if you don't have to move the case around too much.
Great Set! Good Price!! August 4, 2010
Eric J. Ramirez
I purchased this set to occasionally play poker with friends on Saturday nights. This set is great and the price on Amazon was fantastic. The only problem I have run into is that under low light conditions, the blue and black chips are hard to distinguish. This would be no big deal except that the Black chips are the Highest denomination of chips there is. So... A $10 bet could accidentally become $100.
Good quality chips and a decent case. July 13, 2010
Robert Bell (Florida)
I am very satisfied with the chips. 500 is a good number and the distribution of the denominations is decent, and I got what was advertised (actually, my set came with one extra chip). While chip design is very basic (as you can see from the pictures) they do look nice. No dollar values are printed on the chips themselves so you can set your own values. Some of the chips have minor imperfections, such as the colors straying outside the proper pattern (or not completely filling it) or bits of plastic/resin sticking out from the chips from where I assume it was injected into the mold (which can easily be filed off with a fingernail). One of the white chips looked scuffed or dirty on one face. At this price (less than 9 cents per chip) I can easily tolerate these very minor problems, as most of them won't be noticed unless you're looking for them. I haven't weighed the chips, but I suppose 11.5 grams sounds about right, and that is enough weight to give the chips a good heft -- any heavier and it would just make the set more inconvenient to lug around. I can't really compare the texture or sound of these checks to ones made of clay, as I've never been to a casino or played with clay chips, but they feel OK and sound almost identical to what I hear on TV when watching the pros play poker.
Like the chips, the case is basic but serviceable. I bought from amazon.com and it arrived in perfect condition, from what I can tell. I can't really say how durable the thing is, but it seems like it ought to be able to survive normal use for a good while. The latches can theoretically be locked by a pair of keys that come with the set, but I couldn't get it to work and don't really care one way or another about that.
The buttons are nothing too remarkable, and they perform their requisite duty of sitting there and providing information. I haven't really examined the included playing cards very closely, but looked and felt like they were of fairly low quality. I like that the set came with cut cards ... it's a cheap inclusion and they are nothing fancy, but they are also something that a casual player like me wouldn't have thought to go out and specifically purchase. Six translucent, red six-sided dice complete the set and its theme, which are just basic, board game quality dice (normal sized, pipped, and not machined or precision-edged or anything).
Overall, I consider this a decent/value purchase at $42.95 shipped. My friends and family (none of whom are gamblers or card players) were all pretty impressed by them and we've had a good time playing with them so far. This is one of the best sets you can buy for home/casual play, it seems. Fancier checks are available at a similar price if you want (or don't mind) the fact that values are printed on them, however.
Pretty good poker chip set July 10, 2010
sajal
I was very satisfied when I got this product 3 days after I ordered it, I even had it on Super Saver Shipping! The case is very good. The chips feel nice and durable. They smell a little weird, but I don't mind. The cards aren't the best quality but they are usable. I haven't had any problems with this set. For the price, your getting a great product.
