poker chips
Betting table discs
Poker chips are small discs used as currency in card games, especially poker.
Players exchange money for chips at the start of play, with different colors representing different values.
Chips replace cash to simplify betting and reduce the temptation of handling real money.
Outside gambling, poker chips appear in board games and as counting tokens.
Figuratively, chips represent leverage or bargaining power: We're down to our last poker chips in this negotiation.
