Zero-chip games

Zero-chip games, or "ZCG", are, in many cases, technically speaking, not zero-chip on all sides. Rather, one side will buy in with chips, and the other side will put their body on the line in order to try and win those chips.

Here are two such types of ZCG: one-on-one showdowns, and group gambles.

In the one-on-one showdowns, the chip holder often stands to receive something from the zero-chip player if the chip holder wins, usually in the form of some sexual favour.

Group gambles are games featuring multiple chip holders and multiple zero-chip players. Both types of players are competing to win the pot of chips on the table. If a chip holder loses, then they just walk away from the table. However, if a zero-chip player loses, then they receive some form of penalty from the house, which the other patrons get to watch and sometimes even participate in.
