ePokerDeals.com Poker Chip Reviews

These are ceramic poker chips that feature unique inlays and edge spots. The inlay styles are very similar to the inlays seen on some of the Paulson poker chips. The edge spots are also unique, giving these chips a very distinguished look. Overall, they are very close to being a ceramic chip version of the Paulson Shaped Inlay poker chips. Being ceramic, they are more slippery than the Paulson clay chips but they are still very nice.

Each denomination features a unique edge spot design. The edge spots on the blue $1 chip are particularly interesting because they are a three-tone triangle. The colors on the 25¢ chip and the $25 chip are very close, too close in fact and it would be very easy to confuse the two chips. Luckily, the denominations are fairly easy to read.

Sample weights were 10.11, 10.05, 9.97, 10.02, 10.11, 10.00, and 10.07 grams. Sample diameters were 39.37, 39.38, 39.36, 39.34, 39.35, 39.28, and 39.35mm. Seven chips stacked together was 23.25mm thick.

I like these chips and consider them a good alternative to the Shaped Inlay Paulson's, especially if you prefer ceramic chips over clay chips. The unique edge spots and labels with a simple but effective label design make these very lovely poker chips.

These are ceramic "cigar" themed poker chips. They come in two variations - "El Jugador" and "Gambler" brand of cigars. The chips are somewhat darker than what is shown on the ePokerDeals website - they have a very subdued look to them. The artwork has a Havana type design that reminds me a little of a Cheech & Chong movie.

The denominations are small and somewhat hard to read because they tend to blend in with the base color of the chip. The $5 chip and the $5000 chip are very similar in color and it would be easy to confuse the two. The edge spots range from two spots on the 1¢ chip to 6 spots on the $100 chip. Some of the spots are a bit hard to differentiate from the base color of the chip. The bounty chip has no edge spots.

Sample weights were 9.87, 9.96, 9.99, 10.01, 10.01, 10.01, 10.01, 9.94, and 9.92 grams. Sample diameters were 39.25, 39.28, 39.33, 39.30, 39.29, 39.34, 39.40, 39.32, and 39.26mm. Nine chips stacked together was 29.60mm thick.

These poker chips have a classic look with nice mellow colors and lovely shading. Each Classic Roman poker chip has the denomination printed in english at the top of the chip, and in roman numerals at the bottom of the chip. The chip denomination is also printed in roman numerals in the middle of each edge spot on the rolling edge. This is a nice touch that I have not seen on any other poker chips. There are anywhere from four to six edge spots on each chip, depending on the denomination. These chips come in all the standard colors and denominations.

These chips look and feel most similar to the Nevada Jack or Desert Sands composite chips, but they are not quite as roughly textured. They have a good feel and sound to them, again they sound like a Desert Sands chip. There is a small pimple on the rolling edge of each chip, but it is not as pronounced as on the Chipco poker chips. Like the Chipco's, the edge spots on the rolling edge do not line up with the edge spots on the face(s) of the chip. There is a small seam where the rolling edge meets the face of the chip.

Sample chip diameters were 39.32, 39.34, 39.35, 39.28, 39.33, 39.36, and 39.40mm. The height of 8 chips stacked together was 26.85mm. Sample chip weights were 9.78, 9.77, 9.75, 10.12, 9.80, 9.73, and 9.76 grams.

There are four unique bounty chips that are available with this set. Each bounty chip is identical except for a small image of part of a dagger on the rolling edge. The idea is that you try to collect all four bounty chips to complete the dagger and win a special bounty prize. There is also a Show'em chip that can be used to force an opponent to show his/her cards at the completion of a hand. Neither idea really sounds all that good to me. There are also dealer and missed blind buttons available.

These are nice chips and the entire product line from ePokerDeals.com offers a nice alternative for the home poker chip buyer. The availability of bounty and dealer chips, as well as other unique chips makes these poker chips even more appealing. Another added benefit is that you can order these groups in groups of 50, but split those 50 chips up into as many different denominations as you like.

The graphics on the Pokertini Lounge poker chips depict a fictitious 1920's poker club "The Pokertini Lounge - Shuffled Suits & Shaken Spirits". The chips themselves have bright colors and a bit of a funky design. Each chip has it's own unique edge spot design. Please read the Classic Romans review (above) for a description of the feel and texture of this chip.

Sample chip diameters were 39.41, 39.33, 39.33, 39.36, 39.37, 39.34, and 39.36mm. The height of 7 chips stacked together was 23.35mm. Sample chip weights were 10.05, 9.72, 9.72, 9.73, 9.73, 9.73, and 9.73 grams.

The Poker Pad poker chips are real groovy chips with a 1960's psychedelic design. There is a different design on the front of the chip than on the back of the chip - the front has the denomination and the back has "The Poker Pad" and a symbol of the sixties. If you own a Volkswagen pop-up camper/van, these chips are for you! Yes, those are mushrooms in the chip shown on the right. Please read the Classic Romans review (above) for a description of the feel and texture of this chip.

There are no edge spots on these chips, instead there is a series of dots that look like stars in the sky.

Sample chip diameters were 39.30, 39.31, 39.32, and 39.31mm. The height of 4 chips stacked together was 13.34mm. Sample chip weights were 10.05, 9.73, 9.71, and 10.04 grams.
