Choose a poker set that suits your game type
Different poker game formats often benefit from specific materials and configurations. Below, we’ll explore which sets work best for each type of game.
For Tournaments
Sets like the Ultimate series, monte carlo poker chips and WSOP chips are perfect when you will play poker tournaments. They offer a very nice, casino-like experience. The best poker set chip materials are clay, clay composite and ceramic since they have a nice look and feel and are very durable.
Things to consider when playing tournaments
For poker tournaments, having a good variety of denominations, especially smaller ones, is crucial for raising the blinds. In general, go for a set with at least 300 or more chips. Look for chips that are heavy (at least 10 grams) with a good feel and stack well. This will enhance the playing experience and durability through many games. Ensure the set includes enough chips to accommodate the typical number of players and starting chip stacks in tournaments, ideally with various denominations for smooth betting progressions.

For Cash Games
Our Majestic poker set and Las Vegas Poker club series are luxury poker sets that are excellent choices for cash games due to their classic appeal and the availability of different denominations. Head towards this page to see all our cash game poker sets.
Cash game chips are generally crafted to be heavier, offering a luxurious look and feel. Professional players often gravitate towards ceramic and composite clay chips due to their impressive longevity and premium quality.
Things to consider when playing cash games
In cash games, players can buy in or re-buy at any time, so having a good distribution of common denominations is key. Cash games often require a broader range of higher-value chips. Ensure enough lower-value chips (0.1, 0.25, 0.5) for standard play and higher denominations (10, 25, 50) for larger pots. A 300-500 chip set with clear denominations is usually sufficient. Apart from the standard chip distibution, you can also order your own custom chip distribution at Poker Merchant. Then, the poker chip arrangement will be ideal for how you like to play.
Versatile sets
Many of our sets are designed to be versatile enough for both tournaments and cash games. Look for sets that offer a good mix of low, medium, and high denominations. The Skyline series and WSOP series are examples of professional poker sets that can easily adapt to either format, making each a great all-around pick.
Understanding the different poker chip materials
Clay Chips
The material of your poker chips significantly impacts their feel, durability, and overall playing experience. Clay chips are often considered the gold standard by purists. Clay poker sets offer a distinct, slightly gritty feel and a satisfying "clack" when stacked. They are known for their authentic casino feel and are famous for creating the desirable casino chip sound.
Clay Composite Poker Chips
Experience the perfect balance of weight and feel with our clay composite sets. Designed for serious players, these chips feature a metal core for extra heft and durability. The textured clay surface offers a premium grip, making every game feel like a real casino night. Well-suited for home games, tournaments, or cash games with friends.
Ceramic chips
Ceramic sets are known for their smooth, slick finish and vibrant, intricate designs. They often have a satisfying, distinct sound when shuffled or stacked. Ceramic chips are durable and resist wear well, making them a popular choice. They also allow for edge-to-edge customization, resulting in sharper graphics.
ABS Chips
ABS sets are a budget-friendly option. They are highly durable, lightweight, and often feature a metallic insert for added weight. While they may not have the same authentic feel as clay or ceramic, ABS chips are an excellent choice for casual play and offer great value.
Choosing the right number of chips for your game
The size of your set depends largely on the number of players you anticipate. Here's a general guideline to help you decide:
- 2-5 players: A chipset with 300 chips is usually sufficient for smaller games. This allows for enough denominations and rebuys without having too much excess.
- 5-8 players: For a medium-sized game, a 500 chipset is ideal. This provides more flexibility with denominations and ensures you won't run out of chips during longer sessions.
- 8+ players: If you're hosting larger poker nights or tournaments, a 750 or 1000-chipset is recommended. This allows for more players and a wider range of starting stacks and rebuys.
Enhance your game with poker set accessories
Poker dealer button
No set is complete without the right accessories to streamline your game. A high-quality dealer button is cool to add to your poker set. It is essential for keeping track of the action. We offer a range of stylish and durable dealer buttons.
Poker cards
A good deck of poker cards is also important. We recommend 100% plastic cards that are durable, shuffler-friendly, and resistant to bending and creasing, ensuring a long-lasting and smooth game experience. Poker Merchant does only offer playing cards that are made entirely of plastic.
All-in button
For those intense moments, an all-in button adds a professional touch and clearly indicates a player's all-in status, preventing confusion and speeding up play. We offer the all-in button in a few different designs.
Complete your poker setup
To take your poker nights to the next level, consider adding a poker mat or a full poker table. A poker mat gives you better grip and smoother dealing, while a poker table adds comfort and structure, especially during longer sessions. Together, they turn your living room into a true poker lounge.
