Backing up - if $5000 cheque means $5000 chip - the table craps BJ Baccarat whatever is NOT going to even let you play that $5000 chip until you identify yourself and they attach that chip verifiably to your player account.

That is the context I understand.
"Check" is a paper financial instrument, drawn on a bank ("Pay to the order of", sign on the reverse),
"Cheque" is a casino issued redeemable gambling chip (without ridges).
There are enough words, meanings, and spellings that sound alike in this context to be obnoxiously confusing. Confound that with the usual term on the player side of the table being "casino chip" rather than "cheque", and wacky fun ensues.

Yes exactly what I mean, sorry for any confusion. "Cheques play" is yelled all the time at the blackjack table and that's usually the game I'm talking about when I have to hide my identity. Poker players are more likely to call them chips.

Also relevant are calls like "foreign cheque", "cheque change 5000", or "cheque down". There may be others, but they don't come to mind.
As for poker players, tournament chips are not cheques.
May the cards fall in your favor.

I hear that pretty much only when it’s “to the limit” at the high end casinos I play at. Actually you don’t even hear the “checks play” as much as just “to the limit.” At someplace like TI, which ceased to be high end once MGM sold it, a dealer will still say “checks play” and turn to look at the pit boss over just a couple grand.

Been on a good roll. Even when I lost that quarter mill, and the dealer was quiet, obviously disappointed that I had lost, I just shrugged and walked away smiling. I told the dealer that Look, I've been doing okay lately I've been winning, "So don't cry for me, Argentina." (so to speak).
What we DON'T want though is too many repetitions of that sort of thing.

It took a bit of effort to get to around +100K and kept spilling as I approached it including all the way back to even twice. But a final 50K hand made everything right.

It was like…money from home. One of the other reserve players saw my run and came over to shake my hand and comment on how that was “like a dream.”
Largest bet of the session was $90K, which I lost.

Vegas Knights bested again by MN Wild. Early lead 3 to 0 and Knights could not recover.
Hope they do better tonight against the Ed Oilers!

You should have had them fly you to Buffalo to see the epic 8 -7 Sabres Victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning
Five fights as well. First game in over 35 years with 15 goals and over 100 penalty minutes.
