"Ideally, all bets should be made with chips. However, casinos will allow one-time bets made with cash. To confirm this bet, the dealer will say, 'money plays'. if you win, you will receive your winnings in casino chips."

"Even if you have huge amounts of money to bet, only bet amounts that you feel comfortable with. If you bet more than you're comfortable with you'll make mistakes. If you want to bet less, bet less."
