§ 1559 — Tournament chips required

All wagers must be made with approved tournament chips provided by the sponsoring organization or licensed third-party or charitable gaming vendors. No currency, chips other than tournament chips, or other thing of value may be used as wagers. No person may introduce into any Texas Hold’em Poker game any playing card that was not obtained through the current deal of the cards by the sponsoring organization’s dealer, or any poker chip other than those obtained from the sponsoring organization where the Texas Hold’em Poker game is being held. Tournament chips shall have no cash value, and shall represent tournament points only. There shall be no limitation of the size of a wager made with tournament chips. Tournament chips may never be redeemed for cash or for any other thing of value, except that the point total represented by the players’ accumulations of tournament chips shall be used to determine the winners and/or final place in a tournament. If the tournament chips in play are not imprinted with a number representing the actual number of points or units of credit which the chip represents, each tournament table must display a notice visible to all players which describes the currently assigned point or credit value to each different color of chip. The point value assigned to each color chip may change between rounds of tournament play, but the required notice must always reflect the current values.
