In a big bet game, perform a dealer' s method of equalizing two wagers. When one player puts out a large stack of chips, and another player calls by placing in the pot more chips than are required for the call (and either does not say the magic word "Raise" or obviously does not have enough chips to constitute a raise), the dealer may not count the first player' s chips, but merely places the second stack of chips next to the first, and removes enough chips from the second stack until the two stacks are equal in height. This method originated with dealers in casino percentage games (such as 21 or craps), who paid off winning bets this way, so that watchers (security personnel, perhaps occupying the "eye in the sky") could clearly see that the payoff was correct.
