Nevada Jacks is the world’s leading manufacturer of custom-made ceramic poker chips and other supplies related to casino gambling.
It has come out with a limited edition of poker chips to commemorate the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States.
The chips can be bought online at nevadajacks till supplies last.
The Barack Obama commemorative chips come in three colors, which are black, green, and blue. One side of the chips features the intense face of the President-elect. The other side features the ingenious Barack Obama campaign logo with the sun rising over America, which has been represented by the white and red stripes of the American flag.
The Barack Obama are being offered by Nevada Jacks in two different sets. One set is a collector’s item consisting of one chip of each color. Each chip is covered in a protective plastic cover so that it is preserved safely. Nevada Jacks has priced this set at $19.99, which includes free shipping.
The other set is for those who actually want to play with the chips. This has 300 pieces all together, with 100 of each of the three colors. This is the standard number for home poker games. The set includes other poker accessories. These are a durable aluminum carrying case, one deck of Nevada Jacks branded playing cards, and one Barack Obama dealer button. The entire set is priced at $149.99. Nevada Jacks has informed that orders are flowing in and those desirous of procuring these special chips need to act fast because they will not be manufactured again.
The commemorative chips do celebrate the vision of the future that Obama has brought to the table. Many Americans are expecting Obama’s term to be a watershed in American history. However Barack Obama has a poker connection as well. He is known to be a poker player of some standing and even features in a Jenny Woo list. Senator Terry Links used to host a weekly poker game at his home, which Barack Obama regularly attended. This was when Obama was a fledgling politician in Illinois. Senator Links remembered Obama in this fashion. “Barack Obama played his cards right. He had the stone face. He didn’t stay in hands if he didn’t think he had a chance of winning.” Links added that Barack Obama was not the kind of player who depended on one card that had little chance of being dealt. He had the game plan mapped out on the poker table as he had for his campaign and hopefully as he has for America.
The poker community is hoping that President Obama will take cognizance of the fact that all is not well with them and that they are expecting a favorable intervention from him. With the economic downturn and the resurgence of terrorism in Asia it is doubtful that the President would be able to spare much time on the poker woes immediately. Maybe someone should send him the collector’s set of three chips that he can be constantly reminded that some assistance is also required by the poker industry.
