Have You Got The Chits?

With the midday sun upon us and beating down at around 30-degrees Celsius or 86-degrees Fahrenheit, it is no surprise that even a tireless PokerNews blogger may be in need of some water!
Approaching the bar located in the poker room, you are greeted by the following sign:
Only money chits are accepted.
You may exchange cash with equivalent money chits at the Ocean Pavilion.
Assuming it was a typo and that our unacceptable-cash had to be transferred into poker chips, we ventured to the buy-in desk to buy the relevant amount of poker chips for a couple of bottles of water.
On return to the bar, we placed our order and handed over the chips only to have the bartender point to the sign saying, "You must buy chits to buy drinks!"
Tossing him a confused look, he explained that chits were an additional form of money that would be used to purchase drinks and food in the poker room, and that you could purchase them from the buy-in desks in the Ocean Pavilion.
Another trip to the Ocean Pavilion with a few flimsy pieces of paper in hand saw us guzzle down our waters . . . we just hope that the poker players in attendance don't mind the extra effort it will take to refresh their thirsts!
