The most commonly seen components employed at this time in the creation of cutting-edge poker chips are plastic, clay composite, and acrylics. Clay chips, the oldest of the group, have been manufactured in America since the late 1800s.
Back in the 19th century, poker players seemed to use any small item with value you can imagine. Early poker players at times used jagged gold pieces as well as chips – chiefly manufactured of wood and clay. By the 1900s, poker chip features started to enjoy a greater prominence, and the smooth sides of older chips were given up to chips with ridges to keep them neatly piled up with each other.

With the explosive advancement of online gaming and specialty TV shows, public interest in poker has accelerated a lot faster than ever before.
