For a game with seven or more players, poker chips must be provided. A white chip is worth five whites, while a red chip is worth ten, twenty, or thirty whites. In this game, each player &#8220;buys in&#8221; by purchasing one or more chips of equal value. Typically, the players are required to buy in for the same amount. In addition to the chips, players also need a deck of playing cards.<\/p>\n<p>In the first round, the player who is &#8220;blind&#8221; is the first to bet.
