Casino chips have been made from a huge selection of materials in an almost endless selection of styles since the birth of betting and the requirement to keep track of winnings. The most familiar materials employed at present in the manufacture of current poker chips are plastic, clay composite, and acrylics. Clay chips, the original of the bunch, have been manufactured in America since the late 1800s.
Back in the 1800s, poker players seemed to use any small item with value imaginable. Early poker enthusiasts at times used rough gold pieces as well as chips – normally manufactured of wood and clay. By the 20th century, poker chip features began to play a bigger prominence, and the smooth sides of older chips gave way to chips with ridges to hold them neatly stacked together.
There is no doubt that poker has increased constantly in universal appeal since its beginnings in the 19th century. With the explosive growth of online gaming and unique TV shows, community interest in poker has accelerated more rapidly than ever before. Many folks are first introduced to poker by TV showssuch as "Celebrity Poker" or "Poker After Dark," and many will participate in their initial hands online. Regardless of web poker’s rise, nothing replaces the feeling of holding weighty clay poker chips in your hand, tossing chips into the middle of a poker table, or creating tall pilesstacks of chips after showing a victorious hand.
