Wins_chips

As explained in Learn AI-Assisted Python Programming, Second Edition

wins_chips is a book-specific Python function that determines whether a player receives the pot based on whether the rolls contain a 1.

wins_chips is a Python function for deciding whether a player receives the pot after a turn. It accepts the latest list of dice rolls and returns True when no roll is 1; otherwise, it returns False. section 10.4.2 section 10.4.3

Checking the rolls

The implementation is concise: def wins_chips(rolls): return not 1 in rolls. A list containing no 1 means the player collects the chips; a list containing 1 leaves them in the pot. section 10.4.3

The top-down design places wins_chips alongside functions for rolling dice, ending turns, checking game over, switching players, and playing the game. section 10.4.2

How Learn AI-Assisted Python Programming, Second Edition covers it

How deep it goes
Defines the Boolean result and implements it as a simple membership test, without descending into Python internals.
Examples
Uses the final list of dice rolls from a Bogart turn as the function input.
What you can do after
Apply it via Python to return a Boolean decision about awarding chips.
How it connects
Connects dice rolls with turn termination, pot chips, game-over checks, and player switching.
