Understand How to Wager on Craps - Hints and Schemes: Casino Chips or Casino Cheques?

Casino staff usually reference chips as "cheques," which is of French origin. Technically, there's a difference between a chip and a cheque. A cheque is a chip with a value written on its face and is forever valued at the value of the written amount. Chips, however, do not have values printed on them and any colour can be valued at any amt. as defined by the dealer. For example, in a poker tournament, the casino may state that white chips as $1 and blue chips as $10; whereas, in a roulette game, the dealer may define white chips as $0.25 and blue chips as 2 dollars. An additional instance, the cheap red, white, and blue poker chips you purchase at Wal-Mart for your Friday-night poker get together are called "chips" owing to the fact that they don't have denominations written on them.

When you put your $$$$$ down on the table and hear the croupier say, "Cheque change only," he's just advising the boxman that a new gambler wishes to trade money for chips (cheques), and that the money on the craps table is not part of the action. Cash plays in a majority of betting houses, so if you lay a $5 bill on the Pass Line just before the hurler rolls the bones and the croupier doesn't change your $$$$$$ for chips, your money is "in play." When the dealer indicates, "Cheque change only," the boxman knows that your cash isn't part of the action.

Technically, in land based craps rounds, we bet with cheques, and not chips. Every now and then, a player will walk up to the the table, put down a 100 dollar cheque, and tell the croupier, "Cheque change." It's amusing to act like a newbie and ask the dealer, "Hey, I am new to this game, what is a cheque?" Generally, their crazy answers will entertain you.
