Checks (blackjack)
Round, flat objects used by casinos to represent money.
Several reasons casino's insist on using chips are:
1. they are faster and easier to handle than cash,
2. they help the management keep track of the drop, and
3. customers may lose more money because they don't "think"
of the chips as
cash and therefore are looser with chips than with cash.
Checks (craps)
A casino term for tokens used instead for money.
Checks poker
Chips. Poker chips are small round discs used instead of money
at the poker table.
The ones used at casinos are typically made of clay, while home
poker games often substitute
cheaper plastic chips. Using chips instead of cash has a number
of advantages, mostly just
that they're easier to count and manipulate. Color designations
for chips are arbitrary,
but many casinos use white for $1 chips, red for $5 chips, green
for $25 chips, and black for $100 chips.
Checks roulette
Another name for chips. Typically, this name is used only by
casino operators and
employees, and using it may draw undue suspicion to yourself,
especially if you are winning.
