Some poker table plans call for chip racks built into the table.
Built In Chip Racks
A poker table with built in chip racks looks classy when you first see it. However, as you begin to play poker at the table you will notice some disadvantages
- Most People Won’t Use The Chip Racks – So the racks just take up space where people would otherwise store their chips
- When The Racks Are Used You Can’t See A Player’s Chip Count – The built in poker chip racks effectively hide a players stack, so you constantly need to ask to see instead of being able to eyeball how many poker chips a player has.
- Chip Racks Get Used For Other Things – Like food or an ashtray
On top of all that, if you are planning on building a poker table, the built in chip racks will be one of the most difficult things to make. Since most poker players prefer to stack their chips, just stick with felt.
On a side note however, buying a couple acrylic chip racks for cashing out at the end of the night and selling chips at the beginning of the night, is well worth the investment.
