Poker Chips
Whether you use pennies, dollars or buttons to bet with at home, the real thing cannot be beat. Real poker chips have a certain "feel." Today, most poker chips are made of a durable composite or plastic. Plastic chips tend to be more slippery than the composites and therefore are harder to handle.
Chips come in a variety of colors and patterns. You may note that the designs and 'edge spots' on card room chips vary. This is for security reasons. However, the poker industry generally uses these traditional values and colors:
* $1 White
* $5 Red
