Interesting, another game I've never heard of until today. I can see a table topper design on my horizon. 
I’m gonna need some negative denom chips
Think I had one more pic.
I have been working on a topper inlay.
should have the design completed in a few days.

The Game is Tripoley.
It has many variations. it plays where everyone places a chip/token in each named are of the board. Then all the cards dealt out to ballplayers plus one hand, so if you have 5 players you deal 6 hands. Each hand is given out in turn to each player, they players look at their cards, and the deal looks at his hand. If the dealer thinks he has a poor starting hand, he can trade his hand for the Extra hand. If the deal does not take the extra hand - he offers it for sale to the other players for the highest bidder.
once that is over - it is poker time - the best 5 cards win. Betting starts to the left of the dealer - our betting is no limit, the bets are put into the pot once that concludes after raises - calls and folds the player wins the bets and the money in the pot. Then the player to the left of the dealer lays down his lowest card face up - lets say 2 hearts, then anyone with the 3 of hearts lays down their card and announces 3 hearts, and so on. When you get to a dead card, a card that is in the dead hand the player lays down his next lowest card, but it cannot be of the least paid suit. During the course of play - if you happen to let down the 10 of hearts through ace of hearts, you win the money in each of those locations. If you one player lays down the king and queen of heatrs you win the king, queen and King-Queen of hearts.
The first one to go out wins says out, and play stops. For every card in each players hand - they put one chip in the kitty for each card they still have in there hand. the player that went out first gets the kitty. The corners are for aces of each suit, and the same thing applies, if you are able to play and ace of that suit - you win that money as well.
Its a combo of poker - hearts and rummy.
then on to the next round, everyone puts a chip in each location, the cards are dealt, etc.

As an avid board game collector and player, they are actually the primary purpose for my chips. Most board games come with either paper money, but more commonly cardboard coin tokens. Instead, I use poker chips and it really ups the quality of the games. I can't imagine playing games like Lords of Vegas or Ready Set Bet without them.
the 25¢ cent chips was a little too pricey for a player - so the next game was 10¢ chips.
Another impromtu session

Hard disagree. Nothing makes monopoly fun. That game can burn in hell. Lol
Have used them for Monopoly.... also another board game called "Merchant of Venus". Also had some limited use of only 1's in Talisman and Mage Knight.
One more time...

I've also used them for Monopoly. It makes the game move so much quicker. I've also done Monopoly for real money. Either $10 or $20 buy in works well. We had 6 people, so did 3 teams of 2. It got pretty intense with my wife on another team and making a move that would be very bad for me, and not that good for her either lol.

I see a good amount of people playing Monopoly. Seriously, look into Lords of Vegas. It fits the theme perfectly and you'll never want to go back to Monopoly again. You build casinos on the Strip to generate cash but you can also gamble and perform hostile takeovers of other's casinos. Meanwhile since payouts happen every player turn the chips start flying. They even have an expansion that has Atlantic City, Reno, New Orleans (riverboat casinos), and Tombstone. Rumor has it they are working on Macau and Monaco for a next expansion.
