Favorite blue single:

(Club courage and Exit Only Lounge are close seconds, for me, but I love the tricolor spots on the Via Lactea.)

Favorite white singles:

Also like a lot: Le Cove, Grand Casino Gulfport, Nine Dragons... Had to find good pictures.


It's weird, for me, to reeeeealy want singles to be white, and reeeealy dislike blue singles... but to not be able to find many white singles that I actually like.

I dunno if these are my all time favorites, but they're all really nice:

and two non-white classics (originality is over-rated, can't believe these aren't here already):

I just looked up some Mapes pr0n... those are glorious in stacks.

The yellow $1 and orange $5 are too close to each other for my taste in sets, but they are both glorious to behold, themselves.

Thanks for posting.
 
I prefer white $1 chips, but I want blue spots..... this one is my favorite (though I'd like both shades of blue side by side for the stripes):

+1 for the Agua Caliente (too bad my friend in San Diego moved recently before he could snag a few for me) and the Paris $1's. Something about the base blues for both of these is just perfection.

I really love the Stardust $1s. I chose to model my custom singles after them.
 
limiting myself to casino chips and these are off the top of my head without research, so subject to change:

fav white:

fav "other" (not sure what i love so much about this one, but for some reason i have a soft spot for it):

I think a great chip is more than its base color as the inlay and inserts are almost more important. For example I love the 1st issue Bellagio over all the other chips.

But my favorite $1 in all my sets is the Diamond Club.

So many nice $1 chips out there... no way I can list just three. There are dozens of spectacular $1 casino chips, and the number of awesome custom $1s is staggering, too.

Here are some of my casino favs - for the most part, it's the color/spot choices that matter most, inlay is in some cases completely secondary. Would love to have racks of all of these (and some I do). Due to the PCF restriction of 20 images per post, it's gonna take several...

That's 44 chips, and I know I've overlooked at least another dozen great casino chips. Too many chips, not enough time....

That silverbird $1 might be my favorite non-clay chip of all time.
 
I'm loving all the input... but I made the foolish mistake of looking at a lot of this inspiration and then spending time in the Chip Design Tool.

Foolish mistake.
