I love the Bounty chip but what is missing is a show em chip. Especially with the horror\gore theme of Zombies, a showem chip with a zombie lying on a gurney with an open chest plate makes sense.

Any plans on a Show em chip?

what is the point of a show em chip? what are they used for? how do they benefit the game?

They are a one-time voucher to make another player show their hand after you've mucked and they've taken the pot without contest.

I have a set of show'em chips, and I've been hosting poker weekly for 10 years. In a cash game, or tournament for that matter, a showem chip makes the group comradeliness so high its belly aching. Everyone encouraging a player to use their showem chip when they lay down a hand is alot of fun.

Everyone who comes through my house who experiences the showem chip always wants it to return for future games. Personally I like using them infrequently so as to ensure their fun-ness.

Many people have created Showem chips here on CT. A quick search would have given you all the answers but I'm glad this thread was resurrected.

Feen666 designed the originals and BrProPoker produced them. Mark (Feen666) created the zombie chips out of love and invited us all in on it. If we ask him to design us a show 'em chip I would think 2 things would need to happen: (1) someone would need to contact Steve at BrProPoker and ask him if they'll produce it, and (2) we should all chip in and pay for Mark's since we would be effectively hiring him for the design.

Also, we should expect to pay standard prices (not group buy prices) for the chips.
