Chips are ok if you dont mind that they are plastic ones they will do well, but if you want quality chips, these are not ones. It’s ok for the price

I bought this chip set to augment my 500 WPT (World Poker Tour) chip set that I already own. At ~$70 ($45 + shipping/handling fee of $25), I would consider this set a bargain since acquiring the chips separately on Amazon at $18 per 100 chips would cost $90 alone. For less than the price of the chips alone, you get a case and other poker accoutrement.
This set came with a lockable case with keys, a WPT rule book, a dealer button, five dice, and two WPT card decks. The case is of older design with sharp corners rather than the rounded ones in newer designs that I’ve seen / owned. It has space for two deck of cards in the middle, as well as space for a set of dice. The case has ten columns to hold fifty chips in each column, but it has additional space to hold more chips. This makes the chips rattle when being carried despite the sponge padding placed inside the top lid. There are rubber tabs on the bottom to protect the case when it is placed vertically on the floor, but there are no rubber tabs on one side of the case (as there are in newer cases) to protect / secure it when it is horizontally placed on a table.
The WPT deck of cards are of standard cardboard with coated plastic construction. The WPT logo on the cards, while in keeping with the WPT theme of the set, makes them impractical to use, in my mind, since the logo is not top-bottom symmetric. I would recommend getting the better plastic cards with symmetric WPT design made by KEM Cards.
The chips are made of plastic, but they are textured to give them a nice feel (and makes them easier to shuffle). Granted that they are not like the Paulson clay chips, but they are far cheaper (i.e., $1 versus nine cents per chip) and a cut or two above the typical plastic chips on the market. The WPT logo in the middle of the chip is fused into the chip and will not come off. Unfortunately, many of the chips have logos that do not align horizontally with the outer lines (which bothered me to no end initially), but this seems to be the problem with all WPT chips in general and not just this set.
