Merci. C'est ce qui me fait le plus de sens. J'ai remis le document au client sans traduire ce terme, et il a finalement choisi "jeton", tout simplement.

Explanation:
as nobody is answering ...
I didn't find the equivalent expression on french casino sites for that form of incentive

... playing them as opposed to going to another casino that does not offer them to the
player? - Edward Eastley from Clearwater, USA Match play chips or coupons ...
www.thewizardofodds.com/game/ask_the_wizard/ askthewizard70.html

I play in a casino that offers 'match plays' it is a coupon that if I bet $5 with the coupon and win I get paid $10. If I have 2 coupons per 3 hour playing time and a bankroll of $100 how much of an advantage do I derive from playing them as opposed to going to another casino that does not offer them to the player? - Edward Eastley from Clearwater, USA
Match play chips or coupons have an expected value of almost 50% of face value if used in blackjack or craps. If you get 2 $5 coupons for 3 hours of play you can expect to lose about $6 playing $5/hand basic strategy blackjack, but gain $5 from the match plays. So all other things being equal I would play where they give out the match plays.


Sportsbook Only: Western Union, MoneyGram and Neteller deposits from $1000 and UP will receive a 50% Match Play Bonus! ($1,250 Max. including the fees).
