Chip

A token representing a value of money used for betting.

In depth

In poker, a chip is a token that represents a specific monetary value, used exclusively for betting. These standardized units allow players to place wagers, call, or raise during gameplay, converting abstract money into physical, stackable tokens. Chips facilitate clear bet sizing, pot calculation, and the distinction between in-game funds and external bankroll.
