Casino plaques: sizes, serial numbers and high-limit tables

Published 2026-10-27

Short answer: there is no single standard plaque size. New Jersey sets a minimum face size and requires a unique serial number on every plaque. Nevada's chip regulation describes chips as disks and leaves other shapes for the regulator to approve. Match the plaque to the jurisdiction first, then to its tray or reader.

What counts as a plaque

New Jersey's gaming plaque rule describes a plaque as "a solid, one-piece object" whose faces are a square, rectangle or ellipse. New Jersey authorizes plaques in denominations of $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000.

Sizes

New Jerseysets a minimum face size: no smaller than nine square inches for a square plaque, and no smaller than three inches in length by two inches in width for a rectangular or elliptical one (gaming plaques).
Nevadasays chips "must be disk-shaped" unless the regulator approves otherwise. For other gaming items, the regulator approves the shape and size (Regulation).

So there is no plaque size you can call standard everywhere. Before you fix a size, check:

  1. The jurisdiction's minimum if it sets one
  2. The chip tray or float the plaques will sit in
  3. The reader if the plaques carry RFID, check how they read on it

Serial numbers

New Jerseyrequires "A unique serial number" on every plaque. Casinos must document distribution, redemption, receipt and inventory of plaques by serial number (gaming plaques). Value chips issued in a denomination of $20,000 or $25,000 need one too (value chips).
NevadaIts chip and token regulation itself does not list a serial number requirement (Regulation). Other Nevada rules or approval conditions may still apply.

So check the numbering rule where the plaques will be used.

When plaques arrive at the casino

In New Jersey, every shipment of chips and plaques is opened and checked by casino staff from several departments, and any gap between the invoice and the goods is reported to the regulator (receipt rule). Ask for plaques packed by denomination, with the serial numbers in each box listed on the packing slip, so the count matches on the first pass.
