Following are the poker supplies needed while playing poker.
Cards – Standard deck of 52 playing cards are used. Casinos generally change decks after 15 minutes of use, as the card quality declines with each shuffling. In games like stud poker, the cards start bending early, as players often read their cards by peeking at the corner. Multiple decks are rarely used in poker.
Poker Chips – Chips are an integral part of poker. They are usually made up of plastic, clay, or ceramics. These serve as the currency of the game. Most games are played with chips or round tokens of uniform size and weight, usually 39mm wide and anywhere from 5 to 16 grams in weight. Chips are of various colors each determining the value of the chip. The standard color scheme for poker chips is as follows: $1 chips are white; $5, red; $10, blue; $25, green; $100, black; $500, purple; $1000, orange; $5000, gray; $10000, pink. For higher denominations the color may vary.
Poker Table – These tables are usually circular or oblong in shape. This enables the poker players whether two or ten to reach the central pot. The covering of the table is soft to facilitate picking up chips and cards easily.
Cut Card – This is a thick plastic card, the same size and shape of a playing card. The dealer will place the deck upon this card before dealing in order to prevent the accidental exposure of the bottom card of the deck.
Lammers – Lammers are plastic, chip-shaped tokens with text written on them. Most commonly used is a “dealer button” with either the word “DEALER” or a “D” written on it. In a casino setting, lammers are also used to indicate which variant is being used, and whose turn it is to pay the blind.
