Chips, Chips and More Chips

When you’re playing poker you can never have too many chips. Have fun with it at the snack table by providing a buffet of chips for your guests to snack on. Include potato chips, veggie chips, tortilla chips and any other type of chips you come across. Don’t forget the dip!

Bonus: Put the chips in poker dishes that are shaped like card symbols.

Fancy Finger Sandwiches

Finger sandwiches are a filling snack that’s easy to make and eat. Give your sandwiches a Texas Hold’em twist by cutting them into heart and diamond shapes instead of squares.

Blackjack Chicken Kabobs

Another way to give appetizers a fun poker twist is to play off the names of the games. For example, you can grill up blackjack chicken kabobs. All you have to do is season the chicken well so that it’s blackened and then slide them onto skewers. You can even stick old cards on the end of the skewer for a decorative touch.

Slot Machine Fruit Salad

If you’ve played classic slot machines, then you may know fruit is a common symbol. A variety of fruit symbols were used in some of the earliest slot machines and are still used in many machines today. The cherry is probably the most iconic fruit symbol, but you’ll also find plums, melons and pineapples.

Play up the slot machine symbols with a fruit salad that has a mix of them all. It’s delicious, healthy and will make you wish you had a few slots to play at the poker party.
