Discover How to Wager on Craps - Hints and Schemes: Chips Or Cheques?

Casino employees usually allude to chips as "cheques," which has its origins in France. In reality, there's a difference between a cheque and a chip. A cheque is a chip with a denomination imprinted on it and is forever worth the amount of the printed denomination. Chips, however, do not have denominations written on them and the value is defined by the croupier. For example, at a poker tournament, the dealer may define white chips as one dollar and blue chips as $10; while, in a roulette game, the casino might define white chips as 25 cents and blue chips as $2. Another example, the cheap red, white, and blue poker chips you purchase at the department store for your weekly poker game are referred to as "chips" due to the fact that they don't have values written on them.

When you put your money on the table and hear the croupier announce, "Cheque change only," he's simply telling the boxman that a new player wants to change money for chips or more correctly cheques, and that the money on the table is not in play. Cash plays in many casinos, so if you put a $5 bill on the Pass Line just before the shooter tosses the pair of dice and the dealer does not change your money for chips, your money is "live" and "in play."

Technically, in actual craps games, we wager with with cheques, and not chips. Occasionally, an individual will approach the table, put down a one hundred dollar cheque, and instruct the dealer, "Cheque change." It's a blast to act like a newbie and ask the croupier, "Hey, I am a beginner to this game, what's a cheque?" Frequently, their wacky answers will amuse you.
