$ 3 Chip - Color and Availability

Abe · #1 03-07-2005, 04:26 PM

Who has any experience or opinions in using a $3 chip in home games?

A buddy wants to use $3 chips for his 3-6, 6-12, and 9-18 games. Wants to buy chips (no denomination) using an appropriate color. I only remember the chips at Commerce being a pale green - aqua or teal ???

Where would he buy some chips like this?

Thanks

Does the color matter? If you don't want to pick a typical chip color, go with yellow or pink.

If you find someone who makes the chips with an unusual color such as teal, let us know.

Pink is traditionally $2.50 in the casinos around here.

I'd suggest dayglo orange or something like that.

Sounds close enough to me!

The Commerce $3 chip is day glow orange with a dark blue and yellow edge spot.

Harrah's Rincon uses yellow chip with green edge spots for their $3 poker chips (used as drops only).

The Seneca Niagara casino in New York uses a mustard/tan color $3 chip for drops. I wanted one, but they wouldn't sell it to me! It says "poker room only" on the inlay.

I think Bay101 uses $3 chips, and they may be teal.

Vineyards $3 are lime green. and if u are playing 3/6 theres no point to $3 chips because you still have to use $1 chips becuase of the blinds.

eBay has a few batches of "New Sonny's Casino" $3 Paulsons which are sky blue with 2 double spots of magenta/lime.
