Pressing craps bets

And I say, 'since when is pressing one unit a red chip at a $25 table?' The floorman laughs, and the new dealer starts going into a spiel about five dollars being 'one unit.' Then I look at the floorman and say, 'this is still Caesars Palace, isn't it?' And the floorman smiles. I look at the felt and run my hands over the word 'caesars' on the layout. what does the new dealer do? He adds a red chip ($5) to the 5 and slides $30 to me. So I said 'one unit' so the 5 would look like 50. I have $25 on the 5 (table minimum) and I say, 'press it up one unit.' I said press it up one unit because some of the dealers will press the 5 and 9 by $10 and give $25 to the player. So there I am and I am shooting and a good roll is going and it was time to press. until about six months ago when several new dealers started in the craps pit. That's the way it always was at Caesars until. I always thought that at a green chip ($25) table if you say 'press' or 'press me up a unit' the dealer would add another green chip to your bet.
