What is the budget needed for a poker case?

There is no ideal budget for a poker set . The price variation mainly depends on the number of chips and the quality of the materials used. The more chips in the set, the higher the price, and the higher the quality of the materials, the higher the cost. High-end poker sets offer a more enjoyable playing experience and a longer lifespan, but they also come at a higher price. Therefore, the choice is yours depending on your budget and the quality you desire. We make sure to offer a wide range of products to suit all budgets.



How many chips do you need for a poker case?


The number of chips needed depends on the number of players. A set of 100 poker chips will be enough for two players, 200 chips for four players, 300 chips for six players, 500 chips for ten players, and 1000 chips for ten or more players. It is crucial to choose a set that can comfortably accommodate the required number of players.



What are the best poker chips for a poker case?


There are mainly three types of poker chips in briefcases:

- Plastic tokens made of ABS or polypropylene are most commonly found in entry-level sets and offer a pleasant feel and sound despite their low price. Propylene tokens are slightly louder and offer a slightly better feel than ABS tokens.

- Clay or alloy chips represent the middle range; being made of a mixture of clay and plastic, they offer a more durable and enjoyable playing experience. Experienced poker enthusiasts most often choose this type of chip for their private games because they can be washed.

- Ceramic chips are the highest-end and the ones used by casinos. These chips offer unmatched sound and feel compared to other materials. However, they are fragile and cannot be washed—which makes them more expensive.



What style of poker cards to play is recommended for a poker poker case?


Playing cards are available in sets of different brands and styles. Some of the classic and popular brands are Copag , Modiano , Kem , and Bicycle . The choice of playing cards depends on your preferred playing style and the type of card index you need (Jumbo, Classic, Double Jumbo, etc.). Most sets usually come with standard playing cards, but you can always customize them with your preferred brand or style.



What are the best materials for a poker case?


The choice of material depends on your personal taste and preferences. Aluminum poker cases are the most common, followed by wood and leather. Poker Market offers a wide selection, ensuring that all sets optimally protect the accessories they contain.



Should poker chips have a value printed on them?


Our poker cases include two types of poker chips : those marked with a value (1, 20, 50, 100, etc.) and plain colored chips. Marked chips allow for clear play and accounting, but offer less flexibility than unmarked chips. Unmarked chips allow for different play styles and modes, including cash games and tournaments; they offer the flexibility to set their values in advance.

These are our recommendations for poker cases, and we hope they will help you make the right choice.
