Hi Matthew. Really good advice on the chip color/amount breakdown! I'm going to purchase a 400 pc. ASM set soon. (Looking forward to it!) I'll probably go with the A-Mold, one color edge spots & hot stamped...."BUDGET" limited!!! Thanks again.

Thanks for posting these A.C. color standards. I was just searching here for exactly this information and ran across your post. Funny how you can visit a site as frequently as I do and be 4 months late seeing a post.

Great info.

The New Jersey Casino Control Commission heavily regulates casinos to make things consistent among the properties. Because of CCC regulations:
Chips are standard colors and size for all casinos:
$1 White
$2.50 Pink - used for BJ, not actively at dice
$5 Red
$10 Blue - commemorative chips
$20 Yellow - used for Baccarat & Pai Gow Poker, not actively at dice
$25 Green
$100 Black
$500 Purple
$1,000 Orange - oversized
$5,000 Gray - oversized
$10,000 Numbered plaque - never(?) used at craps table
Unlike in Vegas, there are no special oversized chips from the Baccarat tables; one size fits all.

Hi my name is mike and im trrying to figure my chips out I want to buy. I am planning to get the "Lucky Bee's" by NEXGEN. the 1000 count my breakdown would go as follows. 300/white 1, 200/red 5. 350/green 25, 75/blk 100, 75/purple 500

Buy in would be for 2000 @ $20.00 for up to 10 players max w/ at least 1 but in.
my chip buy in count would go like this
20-1, 11-5, 13-25, 6-100, 2-500 = 2000

Question is will this work ? Do you have a better idea for me?

Thank you for your help.

I am going through a very similar debate in my mind. The problem I see is that you are using white chips as a $1 denom, with a starting chip stack of $2000. If your first blineds are 5/10 or 10/20, then the $1 chips are un-necessary. I went out & got 300 white chips (FC's ) and now I plan on only using them for my cash game set. I will be using only green, black, purple, orange and grey, with a 25 chip being my smallest denom and a 4000-5000 starting stack.

Hello,

this article is definitely worth a read. However, I don't really agree on the tournament setup. Say you are hosting a T1000 Tournament with T5, T25, T100, T500 chips. The big blind of the very first round would then be 10 or 20. Now if you only have 10 x T5 per player, you can call exactly five or two big blinds until you need to make a change from another player. And this is only the first blind level, you'll have another 2-3 levels where you need T5 chips! Using a 4/3/2/1 or 3/3/2/1 schema would be way more appropriate here ... or do I miss something?
