[/quote]The easy solution there is to either make the chips worth nothing by themselves, or a token amount, but allowing the champion to play a bonus question (like the British show does), where the total on offer grows. "John, it's your third win, this time you can win $3,000; $6,000 or $15,000 if you cover the right answer."

I agree with both. Didn't the contestants play for different amounts on Maury's Twenty-One?
In an excalating bonus, you could get three or four chips worth $X apiece (X increases for subsequent appearances) but must answer one question correctly--if you're right, you cash out the chips you didn't use.
Or you get four golden chips, and you win $X for each question you get right until you run out of chips.
