All colors are acceptable in my book. I agree, though, if you are used to playing east coast/Vegas casino’s, green maybe confusing at first. But, they’ll get used to it.

I am still deciding on the $20 for my limit set.
They’re value chips that shouldn’t see much table time, so it can be anything. I do like the yellow pop with the blue Paris chips, though.

Its a place holder for now, till chips come in the mail.

The card molds Bellagio $20.. its yellow and 43mm.

Well received by my roommate... and actually, they don't spin.
 
I have a yellow $20 but still confused why you would want to give someone a single chip as a buy-in
Yes, if you want $20 chips for the novelty of having them go for it. But from a real life practical standpoint it makes little to no difference ($20vs$25)

In the last few nights I’ve come across a video where a member here says $20 chips are nice because people cash in for $20 bill. Maybe that’s where it’s coming from. I don’t see the practical logic.

If a player is buying in for $300 or less I’m giving them $5 chips. I’ll continue to give out $5s for reloads until I run out (which is rare in $1/2 or less). If I do, like I said before, I usually buy back $5s from the big stacks with my $25s
 
I know for casino guys it’s taboo, but the homegame has spoken. No one carry’s $25 bills and guys top off small stakes game with a $20.

Would you still use greens, go yellow, or a different colors.

We already use blue dollars
I definitely use yellow twenties. Brown and white are also good choices (white of course assuming you are #TeamBlueDollar).

Would discourage the use of green just it case it would cause confusion with casino regulars that use a 25 dollar chip.

That said, just have 6 racks of fives and you don't have to worry about it :).
 
I’ve been practicing tiles on a solver, curious if bellagio tiles table uses them also since it’s 5% commission similar to bacc

Can beat house splitting strategy consistently and think I’m down to 1% house edge maybe less
Perhaps, I know 80/160 for a fact because my brother used to play in that game at Bellagio. Last time I was there, I thought I saw the 20s in play on a 5-10NL game, but I couldn't swear to it.
 
I’m in a similar situation with my Paris set. Seems like the options are yellow and black, and since I want a $100 chip, it only makes sense that yellow would be $20 and $100 would be black.
It sounds like you're using blue 1, red 5, so yes yellow 20 and black 100 is standard Vegas colors, but you could, and I'm just spit balling here, go Blue, Red, Black, White! to have all the fun.

I'd just stick to a standard Cali set, blue, yellow, black, white

Problem with white hundo is I’ve already got a white frac. Thinking of changing to a brighter color eventually….
 
Well this is interesting, there are obviously some Bellagio vloggers out there.

Looks like it's the 10-20 games that uses mostly 20s and 100s.

The 5-10 games seem to use 10s


10s and 20s kind of look alike.

Personally I think white fracs are the worst, Only 1s and 100s should be white, okay I've seen a few 500s I really like but very rare.

I have yellow fracs and blaze 5s in a set that I like, and I have orange fracs with blue 1s and yellow 5s that I also enjoy
 
We have the same issue, whites are our fracs

We stuck with red fives and that’s how we ended up with blue dollars, it was not a California thing, but a byproduct of the number of chips. The original group had when we met up. So many of the casual players have gotten used to it there’s no way we would change up now, although a good looking bright quarter would be the bees knees

For those who care we ended up with blue dollars, red fives and black 20s should it ever come up.

I agree, and took the advice of everyone above, and ordered another few racks of reds so the 20s will be special event rare anyway.

With so many red workhorse chips, and having our fracs still, we have over $2000 in value worth of chips so we should be able to play our smallest 50 Cent games all the way up to a full table of 1/2$


It sure isn’t a special set, but it feels good for our little club to have a complete set
 
I'd use any color you like and which look good with the other denomination chips you use. If you assume a $20 chip is a non-standard casino chip (and I have no idea if that is true or not in poker rooms), then why do you have to avoid casino chip colors that are typically linked to other denominations? I'm not sure I understand your groups reasoning on needing a $20 chip. My group plays $10-$20 limit, but we don't use a $20 chip. We use $5, $10 and $25 denominated chips.
