A $500 wager.

In the context of casino gambling, a "nickel" typically refers to a five-dollar denomination in relation to slot machines or other gaming activities. For example, a "nickel slot" would be a slot machine that accepts bets of five dollars per spin. Additionally, in poker, the term can also refer to a five-dollar chip or bet. The term is derived from the fact that the nickel is a five-cent coin, but in gambling, it is used to indicate a higher value related to betting.
