Discovering How to Wager on Craps – Tricks and Tactics: Casino Chips or Casino Cheques?
Casino workers usually allude to chips as "cheques," which is of French background. In reality, there is a distinction between a chip and a cheque. A cheque is a chip with a value written on its face and is always worth the value of the imprinted number. Chips, however, do not have denominations printed on them and any colour can be worth any amt. as defined by the dealer. For example, in a poker tournament, the croupier may state that white chips as $1 and blue chips as ten dollars; while, in a game of roulette, the casino may define white chips as twenty-five cents and blue chips as 2 dollars. A different instance, the inexpensive red, white, and blue plastic chips you purchase at the department store for your weekly poker game are called "chips" owing to the fact that they do not have values imprinted on them.
When you plop your $$$$$ down on the craps table and hear the croupier announce, "Cheque change only," he is just informing the box man that a new gambler wishes to trade $$$$$$ for chips (cheques), and that the $$$$$$ on the table isn’t part of the action. $$$$$ plays in most casinos, so if you lay a 5 dollar bill on the Pass Line just prior to the player tossing the dice and the croupier does not change your money for cheques, your $$$$$$ is "in play." When the croupier states, "Cheque change only," the boxman knows that your $$$$$ isn’t in play.
Technically, in land based craps games, we compete with cheques, and not chips. Ever so often, a player will walk up to the the craps table, put down a 100 dollar cheque, and inform the croupier, "Cheque change." It is fun to act like a beginner and ask the croupier, "Hey, I am new to this game, what’s a cheque?" Frequently, their wacky responses will entertain you.
