A dreadful color (1 Viewer)

While cleaning my chips I wondered what color this snapper was...

After cleaning one side, the chip appears to be light pink (hard to tell in the pic, but easy to see in real life).

And just to show it's the same chip, here's the other side mid-clean. This is true if most every light pink chip I have - they tarnish to a dingy peach/apricot color until you take off the top layer of grime with a magic eraser. Light pink - what a dreadful color!

Very weird that it ages that way. Simple solution: Use only mint light pink chips. And keep them clean.

Makes sense the snapper was pink, though. Aren't most in Vegas?

Actually, Vegas has almost no snappers (comparatively speaking...some properties like Four Queens and Palms have used them extensively), and those that do exist in Nevada are all over the place color-wise. Pink, blue, orange, grey, and yellow are all present.

I'm cool with pink, hot pink, fuschia, etc...it's just that light pink variety where I've seen this phenomenon. The closest thing to it I can recall is Indian Blue darkening from its green hue to a dirty bluefish color sometimes.

Metallic gold turns to scat.

How do they pay off a blackjack without a snapper? Do they use actual quarters?

Yes. Or 50c pieces (along with two $1 chips, of course).

edit: assuming you're playing at a 3:2 table. many have moved to 6:5.

Non-issue for the Vegas casinos paying out 6:5

I'd be one of those fools who bet $8 or $23 to get a snapper in payout, though (sacrificing a dime of my winnings each time)!

Same discoloration on my color sample chip. I've see this happen to other light pink chips as well. Once cleaned it stays the correct color.
