Casino chips used in poker rooms differ from those found on slot floors. They carry specific denominations, colors, and security features that help dealers and players avoid costly mistakes during high-stakes games.
Standard Denominations and Colors
Most poker rooms use white $1, red $5, green $25, black $100, and purple $500 chips. Higher denominations like yellow $1,000 or orange $5,000 appear in tournaments or private games. Always confirm the color code with the dealer before play begins.
Security Features
Modern chips include UV marks, RFID tags, and edge spots that are difficult to replicate. Casinos weigh chip trays at the end of every shift to detect counterfeits. If a chip feels lighter or looks off-color, notify the floor immediately.
