Cool custom poker chips

***ADVERTISEMENT***
Every year the parents and supporters of my kids' school get together and have a casino night. The parents obtain donations from community businesses as prizes - and even donate some items themselves.

They asked for a$20 donation which would buy one $10,000 in play money. We have been using play money, but for next year, I'm going to try and gather enough donations from the parents groups to get some real poker chips. At e-pokerchips.com one can order custom poker chips. It seems like they can put any image on them desired (some examples even had Cpt. Kirk).

But this year, this year I spent the whole night (aside from the hour I voluteered to deal blackjack) at the poker table. I have been playing Texas Hold 'Em on the computer. I caught the poker bug from my father who is mostly blind, but still likes to journey up north to the Indian Casinos. Since he is unable to drive, I'm the one that gets to make the drive north to pick him up on Friday and Saturday nights.

I didn't do nearly as well at the casino night as I do at the "play money" casinos online. But it was still a fun time, and raised money for a good cause.
