"Hi my name is Windy Challey from Games of Berkeley and this is poker chips values. In a typical set of poker chips, usually have four colors. Normally the colors would be white, red, blue, red white and blue like the flag. To help you remember. And sometimes one other color, green, black or another color orange, yellow. Some people use pink. Typically the point values are white being the lowest which would be one. And you want this in a ratio of four to one of the highest, four whites to the one of the highest of your value. So that you have enough. It should be four three two one, in fact, for the different values of chips. White normally is one, red is normally five. The blue chip is usually ten, green is twenty or twenty five depending on what you play. And black is a hundred. But you don't need all these colors to play and also some people play two fifty which is the half of five. And they'll use a strange color usually pink or yellow. You don't need all these colors, you get to assign yourself which values you want for your chips. As long as everyone agrees and make sure you have at least double or triple the number of the lowest value. So if the lowest value is one dollar and it's white, you should have three times as many whites. Maybe four times as many whites as the other colors. So you could do whites one, reds five dollars and blue chip is twenty five dollars. Or whatever your highest bid would be. And you would add extra colors if you wanted to refine your increments of value. And that's poker chip values."
