chip values by colour?

califano

I just bought a chip set and chip colours are blue-green-red-white.
Ive never been to a casino and i dont know if there are standard chip values by coulour i.e white represents $100. Or does everybody make their own different values per colour?.
Id like advice on what chip value i should put on each colour please?.

The standard as far as cash chips is concerned seems to be:
1 = white
5 = red
25 = green
100 = black
500 = either blue or yellow I think

Both The Fitz and The Merrion use the colour/value system (for 1 to 100 anyway) outlined above, and the couple of casinos I have been in the US have been the same.

The standard Casino Chip value / colours are as follows

White, $1
Red, $5
Blue, $10
Grey, $20
Green, $25
Orange, $50
Black, $100
Pink, $250
Purple, $500
Yellow, $1000
Light Blue, $2000
Brown, $5000


There are some variations to these denominations (e.g. I've seen Green played as $20 occasionally), but I believe this list fairly reflects the generally accepted value for each chip color.

In Special Days we go up to $1000 in the vegas chips but plan to do $2000 & $5000 for Christmas to promote "high rollers" poker sets.

for tournament poker chips the Fitz (and the Merrion too i think) have the following colours (dealers could confirm)

25 - Orange (White in the Merrion)
100 - Yellow
500 - Pink
1000 - Green
5000 - Blue

10000 - rainbow colured choclate chips, dipped in LCD - i never won a tourney cos i keep stuffing my face....

At the end of the day, it shouldn't really matter, should it? Generally, you make the colour you have to most of the smallest denomination, and the least the most.

5000 - Blue

New chips were bought for the festival
5000 = Grey/Silver depending on how colour blind you are
