So the $2.50 chips could have a different (larger value) at a later game at the single table? Did you get the full buy-in amount in $2.50 chips when you first sat down? Trying to understand why the casino would care if you took a chip from one game and used it to play later at the same table.

The auction on ebay had other denominations of these strange chips as I recall. What kind of player would get those chips? One who was placing larger bets in live chips?

I assume you had to use your own money to buy live chips to play with as in other BJ game. Could you vary your bet, or did you have to flat-bet $5 a hand when you played?

I think I understand why the game didn't catch on .
