This set was designed by Roy Hashimoto. A 300 chip home set of these chips was presented to the 1994 BARGE NLHE Champ, Dave Hughes.

There were four chips sold in the sample set: blue, red, green, and black. Purple chips were given out for special reasons. We also have a white chip pictured below, but this wasn’t part of the original set. In 2025, Roy told us this:

Your white BARGE 1994 chip is a bit of a mystery. […] There was someone who ordered a full usable set of several hundred chips. My best guess is that I allowed them to choose whatever colors they wanted and the chip you have somehow comes from that set.

We eventually figured out that someone ordered a large set of chips with whites instead of blues and sometimes gave away a white chip.

These chips also look suspiciously like the cover of Winning Low Limit Hold’em by Lee Jones. (Lee doesn’t know where the art came from, and the edge spots are not the same.)

Chip images provided from the collections of Tom Sims, Patrick Milligan, and Roy Hashimoto. Additional information from Roy Hashimoto.
