Before I start, a pic of some nice CLUB chips:

The chip centerfolds:
I bought one of these swivals per table in our tourneys. I use to think they were cheesy, but after having to constantly get stressed out because ppl come in and shuffle all the pre-stacked chips up while we wait to start large games, these things have been a life saver. I keep them loaded and in back and when the game starts I bring them out and set one per table. ! swivel will easily hold 10 ppl's worth of chips. NICE.
Close up, not the best pic. When i bought these I wanted something generic. Back in 93, getting an insert was still a dream. These were registered chips for large cash games in a private club in Dallas. The Paris font saying, "Poker" combined with the chips reverse side denom was "protected chips" Meaning nobody else could get the same set up from this company. Trying to keep out chip cheaters.

I always you the count tray to count them at end of night. I HATE loosing one chip!
On the table.
We have a lot of smokers and drinkers in our club so we chose speed cloth for it's resilent properties. We can spill an entire beer on it, wipe with paper towl and keep playing with no damage to the chips, table, or cards. You can also put a smoke out on it with no burn. The trade off is that it is not as plush as cloth.
