content = """
Chips are the currency of table games. Proper chip handling ensures accurate
transactions, prevents errors, and maintains game flow.

**Standard Denominations and Colors:**

*Primary Colors:* $1 (white), $5 (red), $25 (green), $100 (black), $500 (purple),
$1000 (orange/yellow). Some casinos use pink for $2.50 or other specialty colors
for high limits.

*High Limit Colors:* $5000 and above may use specialized colors including brown,
gray, or distinctive designs with embedded security features.

**Chip Handling Techniques:**

*The Pick:* Use thumb and index finger to lift a single chip from the top of a stack.
Avoid pinching multiple chips.

*The Slide:* Move chips across the felt smoothly without lifting, maintaining control
and visibility.

*Stacking:* Build stacks of 20 chips maximum. Higher stacks are unstable and difficult
to count. Standard bet stacks are often 5, 10, or 20 chips.

*Breaking Down:* Separate large stacks into countable units. Verify counts by
arranging in rows of 5 or 10 for visual confirmation.

*Color-Ups:* When a player has excessive low-denomination chips, offer to exchange
for higher denominations. This speeds the game and reduces chip inventory at the table.

**Transaction Procedures:**

*Buy-Ins:* Verify cash amount verbally ("Chasing $100"), exchange for appropriate
chip combination starting with highest denominations, slide chips to player while
stating the total.

*Payouts:* Count chips into your hand first, verify the amount, then slide to the
player while announcing the total. Never throw chips or place them haphazardly.

*Verifying Bets:* Count all chips in a bet before dealing. Announce total if unclear.
Never guess about bet amounts — accuracy prevents disputes.

**Chip Security:**
Never leave chip racks unattended. Report damaged or suspicious chips immediately.
Verify all chip movements are properly documented on fill/credit slips.
