Do you prefer blue chips as $1s or white chips? (1 Viewer)

[JustinInMN]

Blue for sure! White tend to show dirt after a while (but maybe not so much in home game use.)

And Orleans is Metallic Silver

And Orleans is Metallic Silver

I visited the Orléans back in 2017, when they had butterscotch 1$

 

[upNdown]

Just did a very quick check and of the 28 strip casinos I could remember, I counted 17 Blue, 10 White, 1 Tan (or whatever we're calling the Tropicana).

Might be missing some and/or using bad or outdated info but it seems in the ballpark based on recent visits.

Funny that this just came up. 18 for 18 are white. (There are probably a lot of casinos in Las Vegas)

But white and blue are also cool. I also like gray and charcoal.

Maybe make the primaries blue, and the secondaries white? Apply as mood requires.

Depends on the manufacturer....

Paulson - white (well, 99.8% of the time. Lakeshores being the exception)
CPC/BCC - blue all day (and sometimes black)

How about team Orange ?

 

[BGinGA]

Nothing worse than orange chips with red inlays.

Gray, but I'm a dreamer.

Just curious, why?

Just curious, why?

Probably because CPC White is a dirty white. However, their Bright White looks very nice, but at a price premium.

I like my $1s of the green variety. The ones I can fold up and put in my pocket. But in all seriousness. I always thought all 1s were white when I was new to poker and chips. I saw blue and I fell in love. I went blue with my set. But I'm not opposed to white. I just like blue better right now

 

[Chipandchair]

White

this vvv

.....and I find Paulsons THC and RHC are smoother chips where white looks better. I find most of CPC's molds have more texture, and white chips (especially workhorse chips) can look dirty quick. Plus CPC's blues are awesome!

There are definitely a lot of casinos in Vegas, and it's a mixed bag.

Just to name a few of the poker rooms sporting a blue $1: Bellagio, Aria, Wynn, MGM, Caesars Palace, Golden Nugget.

Sahara is off the beaten path, but I like their blue $1. A special "Damn you" goes to Flamingo for shutting down their poker room. Who doesn't appreciate the Flamingo's blue $1?

As for my vote, put me on Team Blue all the way.

What ever compliments the set more, I like to build sets around my favorite chip colors and think about what chips will be in stacks on the table and use my favorite colors there.

I like black as 1$ or T100 has it makes other colors pop more next to it,

This has been discussed quite a bit before. If you want a lot of instant feedback, use the search button (magnifying glass thingy) top right.

My take:
Both can look good, but $1 chips get into play a lot & white chips get grungy easily. For me, it's blue every time and it isn't even close

well, sure since i was only counting current joints on the strip...many of those don't check either of those boxes

 

[Ghostpoker]

If new mint chip, I prefer White chip

If used old chip, I prefer Blue chip

I was thinking white gets dirty real quick.

 

[Camoflaws]

Yeah I've been there. But I don't hang out there.
And maybe somebody has a count, but I'd bet that the majority of Vegas $1s are white.

I think you’d be surprised. It’s probably more even than you think and I might say blue out numbers white $1 in Vegas. Of the Vegas poker rooms specifically blue is the more more popular $1 chip than anything. Bellagio, Aria, MGM Grand, Paris (WSOP), Mandalay Bay, Wynn all have blue dollars.

I’m just guessing. And I tend to focus on older chips, so if Vegas has trended more blue in the last 20 years, maybe I haven’t noticed.
Hell I don’t even have anything against blue $1s - the $1s in my cash set are kind of both.

 

[SendThatStack]

White. I was going to do a blue for my cpc set but then got my hands on a bright white sample and like it a lot.
