All poker cases contain chips that can be used to place bets . Most often there are chips in four or more different colors.

Many cases contain chips with an iron core that weigh 11.5  g . Chips from cheaper suitcases are often lighter, although the weight of the chips does not allow any direct conclusions to be drawn about their quality.

Whether the chips have a value imprint or not also varies. So-called laser chips are popular, but their reflective design is sometimes only influenced by appropriate stickers.

Mostly there are at least two decks of plastic-coated cards with Anglo-American names and an additional two to three jokers. Longer-lasting cards made of full plastic are rarely included.
