I am getting the error 'player_chips' referenced before assignment on the following line - print('How much would you like to bet on hand', i, ' Balance', player_chips) However it is defined before we call any of our functions how could this be ?
If a variable is modified inside a function, it is a local variable, and has nothing to do with the global variable of the same name. Hence player_chips inside get_bet_amount has nothing to do with the variable of the same name used at top level.
Add global player_chips inside your function to override this behavior.
