Each game shall be played with chips of an appropriate denomination to expedite the game. Although all chips on the table play as hereinafter set forth, players shall be required to have at least the minimum buy-in in chips of the appropriate denomination, and when buying additional chips shall purchase sufficient chips of the appropriate denomination. Some establishments have special chips for baccarat, sports wagering or other activities that do not play in poker. It is the dealer's responsibility to identify such chips when they are brought to the table and change them to chips that do play. Color changing to chips larger than the appropriate denomination shall only be permitted when a player has so many chips in front of them that they are a nuisance.
All games are table stakes.
A player can only wager the money in play at the start of the hand. Money in play may only be increased between hands and may only be taken out of play by quitting the game. A player may not remove any of his chips or cash on the table from play until he quits the game. Chips on the table may be used to pay for beverages, food, cigarettes and other minor purchases normally made at the table. Further, chips may be transferred from one player at the table to another player at the table, but only if no active player at the table objects at the time of transfer.
