$20 chips? (2 Viewers)

Last man standing for $900 in less than 10 hands.

Have you considered roulette?

Most home games (if really home games and NOT underground games) only need a $20 chip if not a $10 chip as the top value chip.
People here (including myself of course) still make higher value chips for decorative and aesthetic fame purposes.

Edit: I still managed to get one $100 chip into play, in a .50/.50 game

We played with the Rounders high denoms at 1/100th, and the 5k hit the felt ($50). Only one. It was the trophy basically for the chip leader. I was surprised how much play the 1k for $10 worked. It was .5/1 game. Did a cool 8 hours and lost $20. Hehe. Leader took about

@Timmah likely works for the Shelbyville casino, if I knew who to ask for I'll swing by and chat with you at your table, as long as you know how to deal omaha

I'll even bring some interesting checks / plaques for you to check out. and / or (who doesn't work there any more) could point me out, just tell the dude with the Icarus CPC set I could come by tonight or tomorrow during the day, my home game is tomorrow.

Here is dinner for tomorrow

20 x 5¢ = $1
20 x 25¢ = $5
20 x $1 = $20
20 x $5 = $100

Easy maths when making change, re-buying-in, and cashing out.

I don't work in Shelbyville. I work at a casino in northern Indiana.

Only thing better than a $20 chip is a $20 Plaque!

Another good use for $20’s are as value chips for a limit set. Easy to make change at table. Toss over a 20 and get a barrel of 1s back.

Oh for crist sakes let's get to the bottom of this already!

Are you gonna harvest mint chips for us or not?

As the cage rotates through chips, we do get the occasional brand new racks of $1, $2.50, and $5.

So I work in table games in a casino. The chips that we have are top hat and cane. The denominations are $1, $5, $25, $100, $500, $1000, $5000, and $25000. Even in the poker room they use these denominations (though the 1k and up aren’t readily used). So I see a lot of nice sets on here. But in place of the $25, they have $20. The casino in me cringes. What is the reason for a $20 chip instead of a $25?

I'm curious. What other things in your life do you find cringe-worthy?

Let's not bring up the time I called a three way all-in in on the turn with an inside straight draw.
