What people are saying about Poker Chip Poker

magic-tv says...
This is a perfect example of that this does not require the mark cards at all the mark chips at all and when I came up with this for cheetah chips when I was playing around with the cheetah chips concept and I came up with the idea of doing a 10 card poker deal with poker chips I was so happy with myself and the reason is I just knew that this was going to kill I just knew it made total sense.
