chip value

[lastINchips]

i know each casino has different values for different chips but i was wondering if there was a general chip value for each chip? thanks.

Im lost at what your asking. You mean Color? Most casinos use there own personalized chips. So in your asking Most casinos have almost every chips value you need depending on your stakes. But i dont think theres a general color for a general amount. Just Various values. Lol hope that helps.

I saw the
Red $5
White $1
Green $25
Black $100
Purple $500

But what about the lower chips like $0.25 and $0.50

[Silencer]

I believe blue is also commonly used for $1 chips, though I could be mistaken.

[schrek]

I've seen blue used for 10 dollar chips before.

[racquet000]

Most often its white for $1

[saper88aa]

This site lists "standard" chip denominations... but I'm not convinced there is any "standard".

As you can see, it's fairly standard, but every casino can be a little different.

White is by far the most common color for the one dollar chip, but Paris LasVegas and the Bellagio, to name just two on the strip, use Blue for a buck and many other casinos do so as well.

Almost everyone uses reds for $5, but with the very large seals on the chip center and the multiple edge spots in constrasting colors, it's sometimes hard to actually call the chip red.

Yellow is commonly $2, but I've seen it $10, $50, and $250.

Green is almost always $25. Black and Purple, $100 and $500 respectively.

By the way...it is damned hard to find chips for values under $1. It's just a lot cheaper to use brass tokens. They last longer and they also work in the slots. HOWEVER...the Ameristar in St. Louis uses a beautiful pink chip--a Top Hat and Cane made by the PaulSon company in Nevada--for their $.50 piece in the poker room. You or I couldn't buy chips like that for less than $.65 each. I think they're nuts, even if they only have to pay 20 or 30 cents each for them. Next time I'm in St. Louis I'm leaving the place with a hundred or so.
