Is there a standard color for $3 chips? I know Caesar's has them, but I don't know who else....

sure would make things easier in a 3-6 game.....

I know Wynn Las Vegas does, at least. Don't know who else offhand.



The arrangement/alignment of the text/graphics on the inlay there look kinda weird...

I know the Palms has on and theirs are Pink

Harrah's in Laughlin, NV does as well but they use brown chips.

so it's pretty much pot luck......

I don't think they're common enough to have a standard color.

Yeah I think it would just be personal preference. I have a $3 chip in my custom set and it is the highest cash value chip in the set and I made it green.

My Cash setup is:
25¢ - white
50¢ - blue
$1 - black
$3 - green

i have

$1 white
$2 pink
$5 red
$10 blue
$25 green

(I'm mingling cash and tourney chips when I need...)

so maybe DG peach or Arc yellow for the $3 base color....

Personally, just find a color combination that looks good and is different enough from the other chips that are in play at the same time. For example, who cares if your .25c and $100 chips look similar as they probably won't be in use at the same time. Outside of the big boys ($1, $5, $10, $25, $100 & $500), they really isn't a standard color scheme. I believe NJ and CA do have fixed colors for most chips and do include some odder denoms ($20, $2.50, etc) but I'm not aware of a $3 chip color.

Do you really need $3 chips for a $3-$6 game?

$1's and $5's work fine. A $12 bet with $3 chips uses 4 chips and the same bet with $1's and $5's is still only 4 chips. A $6 bet uses the same number of chips (2, 2-$3's or a $1 & a $5). You need 3-$1's for a $3 bet and only 1-$3 chip for the same bet. But is three $1's that much of a problem?
