Number of Poker Chips and Colors needed in a Set

The two big questions when buying a poker chip set are “How many chips do I need?” and “What colors should I get?”. This depends on what type of game (tournament or cash) and how many people usually play.

Tournaments – The number of chips for tournament play is typical about 50 per person. The number of colors you will need depends on how big of tournaments you run. Smaller tournaments up to about 12 people, you could use just three colors. From 12 to 25, you will want to use at least four colors. From 25 to 100, you will want to use at least 5 colors.

Cash Game – When playing a cash game you generally want about 80-100 chips per person. As far as chip colors go, you could do the whole set one color, but you may want a few of ano ther color too.
