3.    Poker table: Poker table is having least two players and 10 players maximum. This is used while picking cards and betting (picking and putting the chips).

4.    Lammers: Lammers are plastic chip type Tokens that have something written on it. The most commonly used is the ‘dealer’ token written ’D’ on it. This also helps to know which variant is being used and whose turn is there to pay the blind. These are also known as Buck.

5.    Cut Cards: This is a plastic card of the same size of the cards used to play the game. The basic use of this card is to prevent the accidental exposure of the cards of the deck and is kept upon the deck.

6.    Timer: A timer is kept to count down the blind periods as the timer reaches 0.00 the blind reaches to the next level.
