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.
But Wait... There's More...
And get this, you can also use it as a card guard while you are playing...
