A High Roller Chip
Land gambling facilities certainly have some problems that have happily been
eliminated in the online casinos gambling industries – the problem of valuing
gambling chips and keeping the chips authentic. Atlantic City land casinos have
announced a new chip amount that will replace previous highest chip - US $20,000
with a US $25,000 valued chip. This new chip was requested across the board by
the land gambling companies as a way to more easily facilitate high stakes
betting like that at the online casinos. The new chip has been released already
and land casinos are able to buy as many of the chips as they deem necessary to
sustain play.
This is an issue that has been taken away in the virtual world of online casinos
gambling – the chips are not a commodity because they are not actually tangible
items – a players bankroll is kept in an online account rather than in chip
form. And though the new chip amount at US $25,000 will facilitate bets at the
$50,000 minimum table, the casinos will still use other forms of marking truly
high stakes betting – where players will easily bet $100,000 using plaques and
markers.
As for the specific of the new chip that will be used throughout Atlantic City
land casinos, the $25,000 chip will take the place of the previous highest
gambling chip and will look very similar to the $20,000 chip that it is
replacing. But to ensure that the casinos are able to tell the difference, the
two chips will be slightly different shades of yellow. Other than that the land
gambling companies will still be able to imprint the casino logo on the chips.
All of the other chip values ranging from $1 to the new $25,000 are still
available at all of Atlantic City’s gambling venues. |
