Custom poker chips helped reduce forgery in the game of poker
In the United States game of poker is believed to have started in mid 1800 and is traced back as played on riverboats or saloons initially. It was played with gold coins and other things in the form of cash and only after the clay chips replaced them, the game became more common. Today custom poker chips are recognized because of the name of their casinos.
The chips were made of clay, bone, wood and ivory before mass production of plastic chips. In the beginning because lots of chips or means of cash was used, it was very easy to cheat and so started the use of custom chips in casinos and the owner of the casinos felt quite a relief from the cheaters.
