How do casinos without $0.50 and $2.50 chips handle $5, $7, etc Blackjack payouts?

Another reason why 6:5 is better!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha, just kidding. Don't stone me.
Quote: FunboxI only just recently found out that the $2.50 chip that exists in my casino doesn't exist in many casinos nationwide. I understand some casinos who round to the nearest dollar when a pink chip is played ($11 blackjack for $7.50 instead of $11.25), but how does it work in casinos, such as the Aria and Bellagio, who don't have fractional chips of any sort? Do they force bets in certain increments like in baccarat?
Short of forcing all bets to be exactly $2n, they could simply pay 3-to-2 on $2n of a $(2n + 1) bet, and just pay the last $1 even money. At higher bet amounts the $0.50 discrepancy would make less and less difference. And as for 6-to-5 BJ pays on, say, a $22 bet, the $20 part would win $24; the $2 left would win $2.
I've heard of similar compromises at Craps tables, where somebody might take $9 in "true" odds behind his $5 Pass on a 5- or 6-Point and refuse to allow the dealers to "boost" him to an even $10 bet level. They'd pay his Odds $13 or $10, not $14 or $11, thus underpaying him by $0.50 or $0.80.
In all this, they could just round down as a sort of soft penalty against oblique bets which try to circumvent the house edge or trick new dealers into overpaying wins.
I don't remember who they said were the "player breakage" states nor what happened in PA.
they will either wise up and pay correctly or lose out by having to make change all the time.

Foxwoods has signs near each cashier cage saying that it is a violation of federal law to try to cash chips from Casino A at Casino B. But I have heard that Vegas casinos will typically honor chips from other Vegas casinos.

I've tipped cocktail waitresses with chips from other casinos, and none of them said anything.
At the Fremont I saw a women try to place a bet with a chip from the California. Then she realized she had a bunch of red California chips. The dealer said she could exchange them for Fremont chips right at the table. Of course, the two casinos are in the same corporate family.
I didn't want to walk to Bally's , so I went back to the Bac table and told them they gave me a Bally's chip and I wanted a WWW chip. They also told me to cash it at Bally's. I told them "you cash it at Bally's". I want a WWW chip. They purposely gave me the Bally's chip when I colored up at the Bac table. Did I mention it was an orange chip ($1000). Somehow they had allowed someone to buy-in at the WWW Bac table with the Bally's chip and now they wanted me to cash it in.
I prevailed and they gave me an orange WWW chip.
I'm sure whoever made that buy in mistake was talked to and told what a problem they caused.
Quote: FatGeezusI was playing Bac at the WildWildWest (it's considered part of Bally's) and when I cashed out, they gave me a Bally's chip. When I went to the cashier, he would not cash the Bally's chip. He told me I had to cash it at Bally's.

Bally's AC has been my home casino for the past two years (until an incident happened this weekend that has made me permanently decline to allow them access to my gaming dollars) - but, WildWildWest and Bally's AC use the exact same chips - there are no differences in chips (and, as of about 2 months ago, there are no more table games in the WildWildWest)
Are you sure about your story as BAC and WWW are the same exact casino using the same exact chips (well, that is, until two months ago).

This happened about two or three years ago when Bally's took over the Claridge. I was playing in the Claridge section before they closed most of it and renamed it the 'Ridge'.
Now that I think about it, I may have reversed the casinos. It could have been that they gave me a WWW chip and the cashier at the old Claridge wouldn't accept it.
The Claridge and WWW were considered to be under the Ballys umbrella but they wouldn't cash the chip.

The Ridge is now closed as well (except for the BJ tourney alluded to in my new thread) - small world!
