Thought, we go one step further and follow what BG calls a leton; a plastic laminate and usually has a denomination and also a monetary unit which are what chips have but, the subject here are Roulette jetons.
If ChipGuide followed what you suggest, we would include clay Roulette chips as Chips and not Roulettes?
The jetons in question have a purpose; to place bets on Roulette.
On the Ameridan Roulette game the color chips do not have a value marked on them in the same exact manner the subject Roulette jeton does not have a value and that is why the Portsmoututh non-denominated jetons are noted in the article as Roulette ietons and on the chart as Roulettes. They are Roulettes, only, and do not serve any other function in the casino. They cannot be uses on any other game or cashed in as a jeton with a value and that is mentioned to a player leaving a table that they are worthless anywhere except at the designated table at the value they were at buy in.
Unless the Portsmouth jetons had a purpose other,than on the Roulette table, they are exactly as explained in the article and on the chart and calling them only a ieton is incomplete.
