Poker Room Review – Party Poker

There are more than a handful of reasons people from all over the world play at Party Poker. It’s because they are the best, the biggest and offers the most variety of games at any given time day or night.

At four o’clock in the afternoon on over 6,000 tables, you will find over 50,000 poker-hungry players logged into the Party Poker website. These players are playing in ring games, signing up for Million Dollar Qualifier Tournaments, satellite games and playing sit-n-go tournaments. Even the best players who play online still keep Party Poker downloaded on their computer.

The reason people refuse to give up Party Poker, no matter what other poker room they find is simple. It’s like a teenager who doesn’t want to miss the Friday Night Dance, i.e. “everyone’s going to be there.” Everyone may be logged into this particular poker room, but another reason is because of the choices on offer which are not available elsewhere.

With so many people logged on at once, some games are more beatable than you might imagine. On the weekend there are so many people who do not have any idea how to play poker, or are playing under the influence of alcohol and are playing for “fun” rather than to win.

However, even with the beatable games, you also never know who you may be pulling up a chair beside. For all you know you may be sitting next to Chris Moneymaker.

Party Poker is still alive and kicking even with so many new online poker room alternatives. Go ahead and try any of the new ones out there, then when you are ready to shake up some excitement, head on back to the place where you can party 24 hours a day, the one and only Party Poker!

A Review of Las Vegas Casino Poker Chips

Las Vegas casino poker chips are the best chips around, but they are not all the same. Rumor says that there is an official weight limit on chips which is not true. When shopping for chips online, you will see them offering chips that weigh as much as 12 grams, at higher prices, but the simple fact is that a the average gram weight of a casino chip is less than ten.

The variation in the chip weight depends on the material it is made from, the design that is used, and the amount of ink needed for it. No two casinos use the exact same composition for molding chips, and the are produced only by a very small number of companies, all from the United States, that are bonded. The blend used is well protected, to prevent chip forgery.

Using their own composition formula, Las Vegas casino poker chips are injected into a mold that has a design which has been copywrited, in a manufacturing set up that is as secure as the mint. The formula uses a synthetic polymer acrylic material, with a center that is laminated. While weighing in at close to ten grams, the size is the same at all the casinos, measuring about one and a half inches in diameter, or thirty-nine millimeters.

The three manufacturers that are generally used by Las Vegas casinos are Paul-Son, Chipco, and Bud Jones. They all use different manufacturing processes. The technique used by Paul-son is a compression mold system, using extreme pressure to fuse the colors into a solid piece. with uneven stripes of color on the very edge of each chip (if you play poker in Vegas, you have, no doubt, seen players trying to stack their chips by evening out the stripes on the edges of each chip!).

Injection molding is used by Bud Jones. The patterns, pre-formed letter, and denominations are joined and solidified by injecting plastic material around them. They also sometimes use metal inlay chips.

Chipco is the newest of the three main manufacturers. They use ceramic material that is injection molded in one piece. You can recognize these chips by their full-color graphics, and designs on the rim. They are the only one of the three that prints numbers and letters on the actual rim of the chip.

Recently, the casinos started issuing commemorative chips for certain events. The MGM Grand put out a chip for the George Foreman fight, the Tropicana issued one for the Kentucky Derby, and Caesars Palace celebrated George Burns hundredth birthday with one. These chips have the same value, and play as any other Las Vegas casino poker chips at the tables, but most people that get hold of them take them home as collector’s items. If you see one, and you want it, grab it fast!

Since poker became the “big game” in Las Vegas, many people are buying chips for home play. An interesting way to do it is to literally buy them from the casino and take them home with you. Use them for your home games, and if you ever stop playing, or need the money, cash them back in at the casino you got them from for full value. Don’t worry about the changes a casino may make, or even the possibility of a casino being sold or closed down. This would only make your Las Vegas casino poker chips even more valuable!
