Casino chips have been made from a varied range of materials in an almost endless selection of styles since the creation of betting and the requirement to keep an eye on winnings. The most familiar components employed at this time in the manufacture of new poker chips are plastic, clay composite, and acrylic composite. Clay chips, the oldest of the bunch, have been manufactured in America since the late 1800s.
Back in the 1800s, poker enthusiasts appear to be using any small object with value you can imagine. Early poker enthusiasts sometimes used jagged gold pieces along with chips – chiefly manufactured of wood and clay. By the 20th century, poker chip features began to play a greater prominence, and the smooth sides of older chips gave way to chips with slits to keep them neatly piled up together.
There is little doubt that poker has gotten bigger constantly in popularity ever since its origin in the 1800s. With the huge growth of internet gambling and specialty television shows, community interest in poker has accelerated faster than ever before. Many people are initially introduced to poker by TV showslike Bravo’s "Celebrity Poker Showdown" or "Poker After Dark," and many will gamble on their 1st hands online. Despite web poker’s rise, nothing replaces the feeling of shuffling heavy poker chips in your hand, tossing chips into the center of a casino table, or creating tall pilesstacks of chips after showing a winning hand.
