Just because the casinos never intended for spot progression to be a thing doesn't mean it's not a thing.
It's not a thing you care about, but it's a thing.
Maybe you think other people shouldn't care about it either, but, well, too bad. Other people are other people. Maybe you can change their minds. Good luck with that.
[fwiw I don't care about it very much but I sometimes do, kind-of, a little bit]
^theseIt's definitely not made up, and there's a rhyme and a reason for it. It's simply the idea of using more complex spots as you progress through a chip lineup, such that by simply looking at the chip in stacks from a distance (like through a security camera), you immediately have an idea if you're dealing with lower or higher denomination chips. There are lots of way to do chip progression - if that's your jam - but when taken in the context of creating a custom chip set, it's certainly not a rule, and there are lots of great looking sets that don't utilize the idea. Your money, get what you want!
Spot progression is a thing because we (the majority) say it’s a thing (collectively recognize, in general terms, what the term/words represent).
