3.0 out of 5 stars
Watch it when you buy these poker chips, November 25, 2004

As has been noted on several other reviews on amazon, sure these are nice poker chips and save you a lot of $ as opposed to the clay sets. However, there is a BIG difference in the chips in this set as opposed to the other Cardinal sets, and you still pay the same price.
First of all, you will notice three different descriptions on the Cardinal products: Dual-toned chips, Quality Poker Chips, and Heavyweight chips. The ones included in this set are the dual-toned chips, which are the lightest weight and worst in quality that Cardinal makes. Also, they make the 100-chip sets of this quality. The ones included in the older Cardinal Texas Hold'Em tins are the Quality Poker Chips, which are essentially the same chip, but have a metallic center inside which makes the chips sound like they are clay chips when being used. The third set are the heavyweight chips which are included in the newer Cardinal Texas Hold'Em tins and in the 100-chip professional chip sets. The chips in these look and feel like clay chips, but you still only pay $19.99 for the Texas Hold'Em set and $9.99 for the 100-chip set.
So for those of you purchasing these sets for Christmas this year, be sure that if you're purchasing a significant amount of poker stuff this year, be sure to get the similar types of chips =)

I actually bought this exact same set of chips (...)a few weeks ago, and it has been great! It has great display, and it's portable and keeps all the chips neat and in order. Great buy for those just starting out, or even those who have been playin for a while!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good value for the money, September 30, 2004

This review is from: Deluxe Revolving Poker Rack (Toy)
I just bought two of these sets so we could stop hunting pennies every time we play poker. The wood rack is fine. Obviously cheap, but well made and seems durable. Nice touch with the rotating base! Brass colored handle looks REALLY cheap with the brass-colored paint already cracking. The chips are cheap but look like they will be durable. The cards are of such low quality that I threw them away immediately.
Over all a good value for the money, but definitely NOT for SERIOUS poker players. Should I find, after using for a while, that these fall apart I will post an updated review.
