coz the chip u buy is non-negotiable chip. this chip only issue at the cashier when u purchase and is not exchangeable to cash. when u place the bet, u lose, the dealer take ur chip, when u win, they give u cash chip (can change to cash). Eg. u bet 3k on banker, u win, they give u 3k cash chip, so total u have 3k cash chip 3k nn chip. 3k cash chip can change to cash, nn cannot change to cash still. so this game roll i will say a bit slow.

in another example, u play roulette, instead of buy big/small, u buy 18 number, which is 1 to 18 at RM100 per number. if u lose, 1.8k gone, if u win, then they pay u 3.5k cash chip, so total u have 100 nn chip, 3.5k cash chip. as long as it is nn chip, cannot change to cash, that's why they call it non-negotiable chip.

a noob question to ask....


Now Starbucks has buy 1 free 1 coffee using amex...let say if i buy 2 free 2 using amex in transaction isit ok?

i think 1 transaction can only buy 1 free 1...

a forumer said he did try for buy 2 free 2 before..but starbucks mention per day just can buy 1 free 1..

Not per day. It's per transaction per visit.. If you go out and revisit again? I guess u can buy another 1 and free 1 again..

Per transaction. Tried ordering 6 cups before but the card must be swiped 3 separate times.

eh..really? then swipe how many times also no problem wat..
