Closing Out
How do I know what wins?
At "showdown" (after all wagering is completed), the best poker hand is determined, and the pot is awarded by the Dealer.
Do I have to show my cards?
If you feel you have the winning hand, you should expose all of your cards, and declare the value of the hand. Before you relinquish your cards: make sure that you are either the winner or that your hand has been beaten by another player.
How do I redeem my chips?
Dealers cannot redeem chips for cash. You must go to a cashier's cage to redeem your chips for currency. Depending on the table's chip inventory, the Dealer may be able to "color up" your chips (exchanging smaller-value chips for larger denominations) which makes it easier for you to transport them to the cashier's cage.
