4 of a Kind
Looking for suggestions on how to run one. Online it is easy because no chips but with chips how would you do it?
I think I have the low down on how it worked at the casino. The dealer held the bounties in the tray as 4 $25 cash chips. Anyone you took out, half the chips went into your spot in the tray and half went to you as cash.
So I tried to think about it and 4 bounty chips seems to always work because the bounty will always be divisible by two. Anyone think of a case where that wouldn't work?
Sounds like logistical nightmare, not to mention players just pocketing the extra cash chips when moving to a new table.Dealer keeps the cash chips in his tray and exclusively handles them, so colors shouldn't be so much of an issue.
Only give them to players when table balancing occurs and they move to a different table. Could/should even put them in tamper-evident bags to ensure no chips are taken away between tables. Also ensures tournament and cash chips can't mix in such cases.

Only sensible solution is to issue a bounty chip to a ko winner that reflects it's actual value. Shouldn't be too big of an issue, if paying out half at the same time.
