If an organization accepts a twenty-five dollar wager, it shall provide twenty-five dollar chips to players for their optional use. Chips may be issued in values of fifty cents, one dollar, two dollars, five dollars, twenty-five dollars, and one hundred dollars. An organization may use a fifty cent metal coin or fifty cent United States coin as a substitute for a fifty cent chip provided the coin produces sufficient clarity on video surveillance.2. Each chip must be permanently impressed, engraved, or imprinted on one side with an organization's name and on the other side with the value of the chip. The name may be represented by a unique identification that differentiates an organization's chips from all other organizations' chips. If a site had twenty-one gross proceeds averaging ten thousand dollars or more for two consecutive quarters and this level of activity is expected to continue or an organization installs a video surveillance system at a site, regardless of the value of wagers accepted at the site, the chips must meet the specifications of subsection 3.3. Each value of chip must have the following prescribed primary color. A chip must have one or two contrasting secondary colors as edge spots, except for a fifty cent chip or metal coin. Edge spots must be visible and equally spaced on the perimeter of both sides of a chip and on the chip's circumference. An organization may not use a secondary color on any value of chip that is identical to the primary color used by the organization on another value of chip that results in a reversed combination of primary and secondary colors between the two values of chips. The primary colors and edge spots must be: a. Fifty cent mustard yellow chip - a fifty cent chip has no edge spots. A fifty cent metal coin or fifty cent United States coin may be used as a substitute for the fifty cent chip.b. One dollar white chip - a one dollar chip must have four solid edge spots .c.
