Casino chips, specifically non-negotiable dead chips used in junket operations.

How it's used
Refers specifically to the non-cashable chips used by junket operators in Macau casinos to track commissions. These chips are distinct from regular casino chips because they cannot be exchanged directly for cash at the cage without being converted by a junket representative. It is a highly specialized term rooted in the unique business model of the Macau gaming industry.
