Some poker nights deserve more than a plastic case shoved under the couch. When the game is serious and the table has a dress code, the chips and the case they travel in should say something about the person who brought them.
- Chips that feel weighted and authoritative in the hand, so nobody at the table questions whether this is a real game
- A mold strike and edge striping that makes denomination sorting fast, even after three hours and two whiskeys
- A lacquered mahogany case that closes with a satisfying click and sits on a shelf like it belongs there permanently
- Enough chip capacity and denomination range to run a cash game from $0.25 blinds all the way up to a high-roller table without scrambling for substitutes
