3/4-Inch Bingo Chips - 12 Transparent and 6 Solid Color Options
The Mr. Chips 3/4-inch bingo chip is the standard game marker for traditional bingo, produced in two finish types:
-
Transparent chips in 12 colours: allow players to see the number or square beneath the chip. This is important in bingo play where number visibility during active marking matters.
-
Solid chips in 6 colours: fully opaque finish. Best for promotional tokens, drink tokens, raffle chips, and applications where number visibility is not required.
At 3/4 inch diameter, these chips fit all standard bingo card squares. They work with both standard bingo boards and the Mr. Chips magnetic chip system. Note: standard chips do not have the embedded metal ring. See the Magnetic Chips and Wands collection for the magnetic version.
7/8-Inch Tiddlywinks - Classic Game Pieces for Bingo and Recreation
In addition to 3/4-inch chips, Mr. Chips produces 7/8-inch tiddlywinks. At 7/8 inch, these pieces are easier to handle for players with limited dexterity, making them a practical choice for senior bingo groups and adaptive game programmes. Tiddlywinks are available in bulk quantities in the same colour range as the standard chip line.
Bingo Chips for Promotional and Marketing Use - Drink Tokens and Prize Chips
The solid-colour chip range is also purchased by bars, restaurants, and event promoters as promotional tokens, drink tokens, and prize chips. The 3/4-inch disc format is a widely recognised promotional token size. Ordering in a brand-specific solid colour creates a consistent visual promotion without custom printing costs.
Common promotional use cases for Mr. Chips bingo chips:
-
Bar and restaurant drink tokens: issue a chip per customer for a complimentary drink or discount
-
Prize chips for raffle or game draws: distribute chips as entry tokens and redeem at the prize counter
-
Event admission tokens: colour-code by session, time slot, or ticket tier
-
Classroom incentive chips: used by teachers as positive-behaviour reward tokens
How Many Bingo Chips Do I Need for a Bingo Game?
Each player needs up to 24 chips per bingo game, covering the 24 active squares on a standard card. For a session with 20 players across 10 games, the total chip requirement is approximately 4,800 chips, assuming chips are recovered and reused between games. For commercial operations running back-to-back sessions, Mr. Chips recommends ordering 20 to 30 percent above the calculated need to account for attrition.
