Gaming chips have been manufactured from a wide selection of materials in an almost endless assortment of styles since the birth of betting and the need to track winnings. The most commonly seen components employed at present in the creation of new poker chips are plastic, clay composite, and acrylics. Clay chips, the oldest of the group, have been manufactured in the US since the late 19th century.
Back in the 19th century, poker enthusiasts appear to be using any small valuable item imaginable. Early poker enthusiasts sometimes used jagged gold pieces as well as chips – normally made of wood and clay. By the 20th century, poker chip features began to employ a greater prominence, and the smooth edges of older chips gave way to chips with engraved slits to hold them neatly stacked with each other.
There is little or no doubt that poker has expanded steadily in appeal since its origin in the 19th century. With the explosive increase of internet gambling and unique TV shows, community appeal in poker has accelerated faster than ever before. Many individuals are initially introduced to poker by TV showssuch as "Celebrity Poker" or the Travel Channel’s "World Poker Tour," and most will wager on their initial hands online. Regardless of online poker’s rise, not much competes with the feeling of mixing heavy clay poker chips in your hand, throwing chips into the center of a poker table, or stacking high pilesstacks of chips after displaying a victorious hand.
