this one we called WATERMELON

this one CZACHA "SKULL" for obvious reasons

$5 nickname: Nickels

$25 nickname: Quarters

I live in the land of the splashy micro stakes, nickels and quarters are actually nickels and quarters! As for $100s, just hundos or benjamins or whatever slang we'd use away from the table.

Snapper = $2.50

I believe cranberries refer to a $25k chip but I forget for which casino

3 racks of high society (3 racks or $100s) wasn’t even a true nickname or sayin’. The writers completely made it up.

Not sure there is a $50k chip?

Here on PCF we refer to several $25s as watermelons due to the green base chip color with pink/red edge spots.

Just like I made up "3 racks of High Princess Society"

We ironically refer to our $5 chip in a 25NL game as cranberries. "Oh he's breaking out a cranberry!"

I guess the real tough nicknames to find are for the $1 white and $100 black chips.

What would the $5k nickname be for the Taj Mahal chip? Doesn’t seem like “flag” would fit.

 

[ChipperMarten]

I've heard $0.25 chips are known as birds, at least in craps from hearing about "bird games" in Vegas many years ago.

 

[Rodog123]

100'S = Hundo , One Hunny

 

[chippitydoodah]

$1's = "Singles"

 

[ctestb]

$1,000 = yellow birds

Taj Mahal flag chip would have to be Orange, White and Green
Maybe start with the $1 and switch up the pink edge spots for green ones.

Haha I think I see what you did there, I like it.

I already got two racks of $1, so I don’t think I’ll be customizing those.

I only have one $5k chip, so I suppose I could customize that. Doesn’t seem like there is a known nickname for it (like pumpkin for the $1k, and Barney for the $500).

Tonight will be the first time I get my $25, $100, and $500 in play for a T2000 STT. Looking forward to saying “watermelon” when the $25’s get bet.

Well, lessee…we’ve got Cherries, ‘Nilla Wafers, Bluebirds, Chocolate Chips, and Raspberries. And this is only a fraction of my set.

 

[Dbxela]

25 is a pony, 500 is a monkey. More nicknames for the amount than the chip specifically I suppose, like nickels and quarters.

 

[Rhodeman77]

Our group calls $25 turtles.

And $1000’s are pumpkins here.

Someone help me with a nickname for the Taj 5k! I don’t wanna just call it a gray. Maybe a grandma? lol
