Comment

The $2.50 chip was originally created for blackjack for the 3/2 payoff on a $5 bet. When you hit a blackjack, it's called a "natural" or "snapper" and the dealer has to pay you $7.5 on a $5 bet (3/2). So this created a need for a $2.5 chip. Henceforth that chip is sometimes known as the "snapper."
