There are six shopping weeks left until Christmas. For those of you who like to plan ahead, I will be running a feature every week on gifts you can get for the poker player in your life, or even put on your own wishlist.
This week, my pick is poker chip sets. Whether you are looking to upgrade plastic to clay, or get a customized set, Poker Chips Online has a large variety of chips available through their website.
Poker Life Magazine did a story on this company, and they have quite an interesting history. Originally called the Portland Billiard Ball Company, the company was known as the Burt Company by the time Bugsy Siegel approached them about making chips for the Flamingo. They have since made chips for most major casinos at one time or another, including the Dunes, Circus Circus, Caesar’s Palace, and the MGM Grand. Beyond casinos, they have also made customized chips for movies including Boiler Room and Rounders.
Since the Internet poker explosion, the company can now be found at PokerChips.com, and offer customized chips for corporate or personal clients. The price for customized sets are not located on their website, but you can call or email them for a quote.
