Hi everyone,
New to the site and having just received a new poker chip case, I thought I’d share.
The usual story. First chip set purchased on eBay along with the standard silver case with the exploding handle. Eventually moved to a custom ceramic set and one of those nice glossy mahogany cases. Really good case but not something I like to move around with.
I play regular games with two groups of friends and I’m the only one into poker gear so I end up carting everything around. A few weeks ago, while walking from my car, across a major road in the rain, to get to my friend’s place, I nearly dropped the mahogany case. If I did, goodbye chips! Imagine trying to pick up 500 chips at 6pm on a Saturday night in the middle of an intersection! I couldn’t wait for the new case to arrive. It’s called “The Viper” and I purchased it from jackspoker.com.au
It’s a 1000 chip case that is essentially, a high quality laptop style case. It zips open to reveal a removable tray that has cutouts for a dealer button and two decks of cards. 25 chips fit snuggly in each moulded thingy (technical term).
The only thing that stops it from being perfect is that I love my Copag and KEM cards but obviously can’t fit the plastic double deck container they come in. I put the cards directly into the cutouts and even with the case closed, they will move around, so the first 10 or so cards from each deck will mix and shift around in there. I ended up using the paper cases from some Bicycle cards I had. Problem solved!
