My first premium chips set: lucky dragon ceramics (1 Viewer)

[DavidOne87]

hi to every chip maniac out there!
after my presentation post I wanted to share with you some pics of my first premium chips set.
after many research and allot of hobbyphilic video’s viewing, I finally decided to go for the lucky dragons. It’s one of my favorite designs in the huge sea of poker chips, and fortunately I get them in Italy, at a very good price and almost no shipping costs and no additional taxes!

what can I say? Absolutely love them And cannot see time to play with them. They feels amazing, smooth as silk and they stacks nice with absolute flatness even when you stack 50 or more. Cannot actually say nothing about shuffling, because I’m really not good doing this or any kind of chips trick
Just bought the premium versa games to replace this standard and not so robust case, and of course gonna use my kem cards and not this garbage Chinese bcg. the dealer button is absolutely gorgeous! This is a 600 pieces set, but thinking to expand to 750 or more. A 10 denomination would be usefull but not easy to find as long is a semi custom. I’m also thinking to buy a cheaper middle class set to bring around and preserve this, but not so sure I’d like to play with cheaper sets after this one!
any comment or tip appreciated

I like those. Not my favorite design but still a good design. Next thing you should do is replace those cards with something from Fournier

Oh ...... And you need a hot dog roller

Thanks for your comment!
as I said, the cards came with the whole set. Not even opened them, have two decks of them and they’re awful

I use a kem double deck card, so I’m ok for the cards

not sure....what exactly is an hot dog roller!?

Looking to purchase a new set and was considering these Luck Dragons. Got a sample set and they look and feel fine.

Since you're in Italy you should try to obtain some samples of Abbiati! That might cost a pretty penny, though.

But he can save on shipping, wire fees, and the currency exchange.

Yes, definitely a high quality set! If you like the design definitely go for it. Just thought that the 1 chip were more “redish”, is a very deep red!

I think the only case it’s an advantage for me against USA players
seems very expensive anyway!

Try getting a group of people together for a poker night without food. Hot dog roller allows for easy self service. Fed players are repeat players. Hungry players leave.

Believe me you won’t .....welcome, nice set....don’t fall in the rabbit hole, but if you do...I’ll see ya down there

Our poker sessions usually go with nachos, tortillas and so on with a lot of drinking of course not the same, but seems to work for now

Believe me you won’t .....welcome, nice set....don’t fall in the rabbit hole, but if you do...I’ll see ya down there

That is what am afraid of....maybe I’ll just expand this to 800/1000 someday, even if i like the mint‘s design!

We usually try to put out food that does not stay on your fingers and doesn’t require touching it to get it on your plate. Keeps the cards, chips, and table cleaner.
Does not prevent germs and viruses from moving around but it does help a little.

Here's some fun reading -- 18 pages strong -- on the glorious hot dog roller: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/hot-dog-roller-pron.26761/

Arguably the best purchase I made for my games, more than pays for itself.

Also, congrats on your chips!

Nice chips!! Lucky Dragon ceramics were my first - very good quality chip purchase as well! I loved them and used them quite a bit. I love the design and colors.
