Monte Carlo Casino Poker Chip Plates Review

I always wanted to go to Monte Carlo, the beautiful scenery and the exciting casino action. Being an avid poker player, I have always been fascinated by the ceramic poker chip plates that I would see them push around in those James Bond movies. I decided to check them out for myself, to see how they play and why they are used.

For those of you unfamiliar with Monte Carlo Casino poker chip plates, they are typically used in high stakes games with denominations ranging from 1K up to 100K. The plates are used primarily in European and international gambling halls and casinos, but in the United States, we use them primarily in high stakes games. They are also great for rebuys and additional markers.

While the Monte Carlo Casino is fictional, it is the meaning it represents, more than anything. Just like clay Las Vegas casino chips give the Las Vegas feel, Monte Carlo casino poker chip plates represent the high stakes, international action of Monte Carlo.

They come in different colors for the denominations and are made of ceramic that is smooth except for the black and textured gold accents for the edges and denominations. They measure just over 2 inches wide, 3 and 1/4 inches long, and about 3.5mm thick. They are like small ceramic bricks that make a different “tinking” sound than a normal resin or clay casino chip.

I like them when we play those No Limit Hold’em games where counting casino chips is a constant part of the game, unless you start switching to these Monte Carlo Casino Poker Chip Plates, which keep the pace exciting. They’re also much easier all-in and less messy, plus they save all the chip-stacking and counting work.

They have a fancy look and you don’t need to have as many regular resin or clay tiles in those high stakes or no limit games. You can deposit and withdraw them to save on the lower denomination individual casino poker chips.

I remember the first time I mentioned them to my friends when we were playing high stakes, no limit. Not only were they impressed with the look, feel, and sound of the casino poker chip plates, but it made it much easier to see who had how many chips as the game action unfolded.

They thought I had gotten them on one of my poker or casino gaming trips, but when I told them I had bought them online, they couldn’t wait to go online to add them to their collections as well. I suppose there’s something about having poker chip plates from the Monte Carlo Casino that makes you feel like a high roller on an international poker circuit.

I have used them at some of the casinos that have had them in their international card rooms, but I remember how excited I was when I found out that I could buy them for my games at home with my friends. Monte Carlo Casino poker chip plates make games move faster and put a different spin on big stack and small stack tracking.
