How do chips work in poker?
Chips are used for betting while playing poker. Usually, the white (or light-colored) chips have the lowest value, and the red (or other colored) and blue (or dark-colored) chips increase in increments of five and ten. Players will “buy-in” by purchasing a set amount of chips and bet during play based on the combination of cards they are dealt. Find a selection of vintage poker chip sets on 1stDibs.
