Try to make each chip denomination 4 or 5 times the previous one (e.g., $0.25 → $1 → $5). This prevents "clutter" and makes counting easier.

Plan for at least 50 chips per player. A standard 300-chip set from retailers like Slowplay or Custom Made Casino comfortably supports 5–6 players.

In this setup, each chip has a direct cash value. A $5 buy-in usually works best with $0.05/$0.10 blinds. 20 chips ($1.00 total) Red ($0.10): 10 chips ($1.00 total) Green ($0.25): 4 chips ($1.00 total) Blue ($0.50): 4 chips ($2.00 total) Total: 38 chips = $5.00 stack. Option 2: Tournament Style (Points)

Ensure your lowest denomination chip is exactly the value of your small blind to avoid needing "change" for every hand.
