How The Bounty & Tournament Chips Are Used...
There's no set rules to how you use your Bounty Chips but know that adding them will bring A LOT more fun to
your poker game or tournament.
Besides the buy-in, each player in your game or tournament purchases
(or is given) a single Bounty Chip. The price paid becomes the "Bounty".
When a player goes "all-in" their personal Bounty Chip goes into the
pot with their remaining chips (however the player going "all-in"
keeps any Bounty Chips that they previously won from other losing
players).
If the player wins the pot, the chip is kept and the game continues.
However if the player loses the pot (and his Bounty Chip) that player
is eliminated from the game/tournament and the pot winner collects
the Bounty Chip.
After the game each player exchanges the Bounty Chips
in their possession for the initial cash paid or a predetermined prize from
the game/tournament host.
The neat thing about using Bounty Chips in this manner is that they
allow ANY player to win something no matter where they place in the game
or tournament. They could have eliminated several players before losing
themselves and will still have cash or a prize waiting for them even
though they might not have won the game itself.
Another way to use a Bounty Chip is to secretly
designated one player as the "Bounty". That person keeps their chip hidden. When (if?)
they are eliminated they reveal their chip and the person that knocked them out collects
the entire bounty that each player contributed to.
A Cool Variation... The Seven/Deuce Bounty Chips...
For the player that purchases one of our Seven/Deuce Bounty chips before the game, gets dealt and holds this horrible offsuited hand
there is now an opportunity where there was none before.
If this player bluffs his way to a winning pot while holding one of
these chips he is rewarded by either a big blind payment from each
player at the table or a prize designated by the tournament director.
Again, you can make the rules but these Seven/Deuce chips can add
a whole lot of fun to the game and added revenue to the tournament
owner.
Tournament Chips, More Fun & Added Revenue...
The "Show" chip and "Bad Beat" chip
are again optionally purchased from the tournament director before
the game starts.
You decide how they are played but here's just one idea for each...
The player that decides to play his "Show" chip is allowed
to see the winning hole cards of a pot winner. A great opportunity
to reveal to the table if a pot winner actually had the nuts or
was just bluffing. This one ALWAYS adds some fun to the game when
it's played.
As for the "Bad Beat" chip, the player who suffers a bad
beat (a strong hand losing to an even stronger hand) and has one
of these chips in his possession is richly rewarded with either
a side jackpot or a prize of the tournament director's choice.
So what makes a Bad Beat? It's up to you but many of our Bad Beat
Chip buyers have designated a losing four-of-a-kind or higher to
be eligible.
Now the "Best Hand" chip should
be awarded to the player with the best hand. Most likely it will
constantly be moving throughout the game as one player steals it
from another. At the end of the night the player with the best hand
of the tournament keeps the chip as a reward of their accomplishment.
Lastly our "Chair Position
Set" of chips is used to determine where at the table each player
sits. Before the game the ten chips are face down on the table with
only the side of the chip with the chair showing. Each of your ten
players chooses one and that determines where they sit and the lucky
person with the ace gets the first dealer position.
But Wait... There's More...
And get this, you can also use it as a card guard while you are playing...
