What The Color Tells You – Casino Chips Color Guide
Back in the days when there is no online casino ready for the gamers and land based casinos are the only thing that casino players go to for that gaming experience, you will notice that chips are lined up on the table of casino rooms with their different colors. Didn’t it come to your mind? what are those colors standing for? The colored chips not only act as designs on the table, there is actually a designated meaning attached to those colors.
Casino chips are also called tokens or checks. These casino chips act as money at the gaming tables. Money is exchanged for this token. You may think that these chips don’t have value, but you cannot play, unless you change your money into chips. Casino chips are made to have uniformity of cash values in casino tables and to avoid money counterfeit and theft.
Each casino has their incomparable set of chips. This helps in distinguishing casinos from each other. Some, like the popular Hard Rock Hotel and Casino have their limited edition chips. Other also have commemorative chips for their casino patron or for a certain casino tourney.
The colors of each casino chip are specified by the Gaming Control Board, a government agency taking charge in the regulation of casino and other types of gaming in a particular location or state. Chip colors found at casino tables on almost all the casinos includes red, white or blue, green and black. Other additional colors are pink, purple, yellow and gray. These are the universal color coding of chips found in the majority of the casinos in the world. Every color corresponding to a value stated below:
- Red Chips are worth five thousand dollars and also called Nickels.
- White, Blue and Gray Chips are usually worth one dollar.
- Green Chips or Quarters are twenty five dollars worth.
- Black Chips are one hundred dollars in value.
- Orange Chips or popularly called as Pumpkins are worth one thousand dollars.
- Purple Chips are worth five hundred dollars which are called Barneys.
- Pink Chips can be worth seven or fifteen dollars depending on the casino.
- Yellow Chips is valued twenty dollars at Atlantic Casinos but varies on other casinos.
Televised games use cash bundles for larger amounts of bets but with some tournaments like in the World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour, they have exclusive chips used only for high bets.
Casino tables have these images of colored casino chips telling the player of how much the minimum or maximum bet of the game is, so it is essential to every casino player to know of these values. There are signs that inform players of the corresponding amounts of each color but players need not to see these signs if they have familiarized themselves with the color codes.
So next time you enter a casino room, make sure you look at the table signs first. These universal color coding are useful for every player. You may encounter other casinos which use other colors for one dollar chips but other denominations remain the same.
