When creating custom chip sets, why do most folks pick “card room” vs “poker room”?

No idea. I went a slightly different direction.

I had the same thought when working on my labels. Decided to go with cardroom. My logic being if we’re doing more family nights or different types of games etc, might not just be poker.
Not the strongest reason, but that was mine. Not sure it makes a lot of difference to anyone but you though.

I also went a different route and choose Casino instead.
Cardroom and poker room is not a thing in Singapore so Casino like seem the natural choice

I guess it's just what you like. Normally I'd say that card room is less specific than poker club, so if you play circus games it would be more appropriate... But I really just think it's what sounds/looks right. I went with both

You do you. It's your game and your choice. Words of advice: enjoy the process and share pictures.
Chips for me and some of my customers use different names because poker is illegal in some jurisdictions so we use Card Room or Card Club, Lounge, etc.
Also forgot to add - some people use chips for other purposes or games beside poker.
Comfort room would be OK too. 
I think it's because some of these maniacs have a set for each purpose.
If I ever get around to naming and creating a custom set it would be very general sounding like The Ducks Nuts so the chips could be used for anything and possibly expanded.

I went with private club for my first custom set.
Then decided to only keep the name of the theme for my next ones.

What are the dimensions of your table if you don't mind me asking. Are you able to seat 10 comfortably?I guess it's just what you like.

Corner to corner it's 72", each rail is 21". If you ask me, it seats 10 better than traditional poker tables. Especially when you consider that everyone is equidistant from the pot and the cards. I can't tell you how many times I've sat at a traditional table and 1/3 of the table can't see what's happening.
The biggest downside to the decagon is that you can squeeze 11 or maybe 12 around a traditional table. But at people's houses that have done that, it's been horribly uncomfortable.

Here’s the rest of the mockup from the cash set. I would recommend him if you’re thinking of designing your own labels:
It seems like it would be too big. I asked in another thread what was the biggest I should consider for a round table, and it was pretty much unanimous not to go over 60 inches. Then Thursday night I found out why. We had an impromptu game with family, and I didn't feel like getting out my Barrington for a short game. So we played on our new dining room table that is a 54" round with one 15" leaf. With a table that wide, I had to constantly ask the players on the other side to push their bets into the pot. It was very frustrating. And there is no way the guys at the ends could comfortably reach the center. It just seems that with a table your size, every player has to be constantly aware of moving their chips to the very center, and then to the winners. Or you would need to have a croupier stick.
Unless your oval table has a dedicated dealer spot, having people deal anywhere aside from the middle four spots results in disaster. Nobody can see anything, and people are constantly standing. Also, they need to toss their chips toward the dealer so they can be pushed into the middle. With my table, even when players deal directly in front of themselves, it's pretty much in the middle and everyone can see it.
And as long as everyone pushes their bets a little bit in before the next card, it's all in the middle. Only the shortest of players have an issue reaching the middle without standing up a little. But again, you have someone at the end of an oval table trying to reach a pot and it's not going to happen.
I've been playing on this table for almost 5 years and I much prefer it for cash games over any other table shape. However, with all that said, I still do to prefer an oval table for tournaments, but only with a maximum of 8 players at the table.

I didn't use either of those with my custom sets
I went with “Hoser Hut Poker” in my first set, but eliminated the “Poker” altogether on the second set and just went with “Hoser Hut.”
That said, I’ve always found “Gambling Hall” appealing somehow. Maybe for a future vintage-themed set?

I like it, unfortunately using that description on the chips at my home game would be redundant with my players…Gambling Hall is always implied…
I never get tired of seeing these!
