Do you prefer edge spot progression or not? (1 Viewer)

What ever you like. My first and only custom set until last year was an ASM set fromwhen they didn’t offer progression options. Never caused an issue.
I added them to my last set ….just because casinos often do it and to me, the point of custom chips is to give a casino feel

I think is far more important to stick with only the necessary denominations. For cash games I will not have more than 3 denominations on the table. For $1/2 two is what I’ve always done. Im thinking if changing my $.5/1 game to $1/1 to get rid of the .50. White and red chips are hard to confuse

I am working on putting together some artwork for a custom Cards Mold set and I’m constantly going back and forth between using the same edge spots for all denoms, or going with a spot progression, or going just completely random based on chips that I like. It seems that each day I prefer one over the other and can’t seem to make up my mind.

After looking at various casino chips, it seems hardly any of them have a well thought out progression and that it’s more random than anything. And now I feel like I’m overanalyzing the whole thing and 99% of the players in my game aren’t going to notice either way.

Any feedback/examples of your own work would be much appreciated.

I have no problem with consistent spots, or spot "progression", whichever a person chooses. As long as the progression isn't something asinine like ABCCB of course. I think contrast between chips is far more important.
 
Edge spot patterns on casino cash chips are there so they can be differentiated in live play in stacks and trays on a (traditionally black and white, low-res) CCTV camera. This is also why many tournament and roulette chips are either solids or have similar/same pattern across all chips in play, because they are all non-cash chips.

As long as you can tell the chips apart and they are the patterns and colours you like, you may use whatever. As others have said, it would be a shame to not use your favourite complex patterns and colours for your cash workhorse chips, rather than save them for the highest denoms which rarely see felt.
 
Yes

Like many here varied spots for cash (my most "interesting" pattern is on my $1 and $5).
For tourney sets I can go either way. The Aurora's and @Coyote's cheeky CPC take on those are great. I've been toying with the D18 style but doing a progression with it (2D18, 3D18, 4D18, etc).

I have to say NO!
The truth is that I prefer a progression, but if I were to try to explain to you all of my rules for what makes a nice progression and all my exceptions to the rules, you'd stop reading. And people just can't agree whether certain spots are more complex than certain others anyway.
So I'll say do what you like. If that includes some kind of progression, great! If not, great! But above all, don't try to follow certain rules to please the community. Do what you like.
