I host a weekly game and have been thinking about something to award players besides our prize money....something like a trophy that they can display and hang onto long after the money is gone.

I first thought about the trophy idea but most every trophy I ever won ended up in a box in the back of the closet. Then I thought about what better way to award a poker player than with a poker chip.

Something along the lines of a 1st place, 2nd place & 3rd place poker chip.

Does anyone know if anything exists already along these lines? If nothing currently exists is there any interest from others in creating such chips?

What I like to do is get a trophy and place a poker chip on it somewhere..It usaully is a some type of chip from a Vegas casino...They look really nice.

It would be cool to award a special prize chip inside of a ring-type air-tite. The thing to figure out is, what would make a good chip?

I think a $1 chip from a Vegas casino would be nice. Its a nice chip, and it also has a big 1 on it to represent first place.

I was thinking about doing the same thing with my games, and I had been looking for ideas too, but then I sort of walked away from the idea. However seeing this thread got me to thinking again. An idea came to me after seeing something posted on one of these forums with a picture of a trophy that was won at a big tourney( I'll see if I can find it...seems as though I can't)

It was a frame with the last hand in the tourney and a chip.

I have a whole whack of old cards to use and have extra labelled chips, you could put the winners hole cards and a chip in a smallish frame($ stores sell em cheap enough)

I think I'll whip one up today and see what how it goes.

These may not be exactly what you are looking for, but might at least give you an idea as to what is out there.

I give out a Custom ASM chip that says Event Winner in a air tight case for my events. The league winner and TOC winner also get ASM chips in different colors.

Nice site. There are nice.



Expensive though.

Anyone ever get custom chips from them? Their bulk rate seems reasonable if the quality is good.
