Raceway for in venue tables

Postby Tender_Prey » Sat Aug 06, 2011 11:47 am

Hi all, I have noticed over the last several months there is a growing problem with players confused about whether chips are in play or not. Leading to some not so nice cofrontations at the table which spoils enjoyment of the game for all. I would like to suggest that 888pl have a raceway painted on the felt level with the inside edge of the cupholders. This would then make determining the status of the chips very easy. Any chips over the line would then be easily identified as being in play and therefore less arguments... Just wanted to gauge interest and see if any other forum members are experiencing similar.

G'day Tender Prey,
& welcome to the forum,
never have a problem with that, if someone has their chips out to far we simply ask them to move their chips back & state that they can be deemed in play. They soon move them back.

Agree with harps- just tell them that they have to pull their chips back

Yep, agree with Harps and benny the cunt, never had any real problems.

Chips should always be behind cards.

Can't say I've ever had much issue with this either, have had more issues with things like big chips at the back where no1 can see them.

That said, I like the idea because it makes it nice and clear for everyone.
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!
