67.1. All of
				  the following specifications apply to value chips:
67.1.a. A chip issued by the casino licensee
				  shall be round in shape and have the name of the casino, the Lottery-specified
				  identifier symbol and the specific value of the chip clearly and permanently
				  impressed, engraved, or imprinted on the chip, except that the casino licensee
				  may issue gaming chips without a value impressed, engraved, or imprinted on the
				  chip for roulette. A chip that has a value contained on the chip is known as a
				  "value chip" and a chip that does not have a value contained on the chip is
				  known as a "non-value chip";
67.1.b. A value chip may be issued by the
				  casino licensee in denominations of 50 cents, $1.00, $2.00, $2.50, $3.00,
				  $5.00, $20.00, $25.00, $100.00, $500.00, $1,000.00, and $5,000.00. The casino
				  licensee may determine the denominations to be used in its casino and the
				  amount of each denomination for the conduct of casino gaming
				  operations;
67.1.c. Each
				  denomination of value chip shall have a primary color different from every
				  other denomination of value chip. Value chips shall fall within the colors set
				  forth in this subdivision when the chips are viewed both in daylight and under
				  incandescent light. In conjunction with the primary colors, the casino licensee
				  shall use contrasting secondary colors for the edge spots on each denomination
				  of value chip. Unless otherwise approved by the Director, the casino licensee
				  shall not use a secondary color on a specific denomination of chip identical to
				  the secondary color used by a casino outside the boundaries of the State of
				  West Virginia on the same denomination of the value chip. The primary color
				  that the casino licensee shall use for each denomination of value chip is as
				  follows:
67.1.c.1. 50 cents "Mustard
				  yellow,"
67.1.c.2. $1.00
				  "White,"
67.1.c.3. $2.00
				  "Tan,"
67.1.c.4. $2.50
				  "Pink,"
67.1.c.5. $3.00
				  "Brown,"
67.1.c.6. $5.00
				  "Red,"
61.1.c.7. $20.00
				  "Yellow,"
61.1.c.8. $25.00
				  "Green,"
61.1.c.9. $100.00

61.1.c.11. $1,000.00
				  "Fire orange," and
61.1.c.12.
				  $5,000.00 "Gray."
67.1.d. Each denomination of value chip used
				  by the casino licensee shall, unless otherwise authorized by the Commission, be
				  in compliance with all of the following specifications:
67.1.d.1. It shall have a center portion
				  containing the value of the chip and the name of the casino of a different
				  shape from each other denomination;
67.1.d.2. It shall have the Lottery-specified
				  identifier symbol;
67.1.d.3. It
				  shall be designed so that the specific denomination of the chip can be
				  determined on closed circuit black and white television when placed in a stack
				  of chips of other denominations; and
67.1.d.4. At the casino's option, or at a
				  later time that may be determined by the Commission, each chip shall have an
				  embedded radio frequency microchip that uniquely identifies the chip itself,
				  the issuing casino and the denomination of the chip; and
67.1.e. The Commission may approve a value
				  chip in denominations that deviate from the requirements of this rule if the
				  deviation is specifically identified by the casino licensee and if the
				  deviation does not affect the control, security, or integrity of the chips or
				  the operation of the games.
