Color Up ( blackjack)


To exchange many smaller denomination chips for a few large denomination chips.
This is done as a player is preparing to leave and he may have too many chips to handle easily.
"May I color up those reds for green before you leave, sir." Then, inform the floor man.
"Color up, red for green." (It also allows the floor man to see how well or poorly the player did financially.)



Color Up ( poker )


To exchange one's chips for ones of higher value, usually in order to reduce the number of chips one has on the table.
In tournaments, players are forced to color up periodically as the tourney money becomes divided among
fewer and fewer players and the sizes of the forced bets go up (it makes no sense to play with $25 chips when the blinds are $10000).
