I think the best approach would be a "choose before you run" sort of
thing. That way a runner can have as many chips as they want, you
just have to select which ones you "jack in" before you go on the run.
This also justifies the cost/benefit of chipjack-3 over chipjack-1 in
that it gives you more opportunities to gamble you are choosing the
right chips.
