What does it mean to wash horses in Macao? Is it illegal?

Code washing means that if someone goes to Macau to gamble, but it is not convenient to bring cash, he will ask the person in charge of "code washing" in Macau casinos. According to his credit rating, the casino may not need cash and directly provide gamblers with the corresponding amount of chips.

In principle, the Code Cleaner has two tasks. One is to exchange the chips in gamblers' hands at any time, from which you can earn a commission of about 1%; The second is to look for gamblers. If you don't have gamblers, the shopkeeper won't let you do "code washing"

Reason:

In order to attract gamblers, casinos will offer some discounts. The most common is the "mud field" discount offered by major casinos. For example, a customer bought a mud yard with a price of 3,000 yuan at Jinlong Hotel, and the hotel gave him a buffet lunch voucher with a price of several hundred yuan. If you buy more, you will be given buffet coupons for dinner. If you buy more, you will be given some free services such as room accommodation and sauna to attract gamblers.

Of course, gamblers do not enjoy these benefits in vain. Mud code is a kind of chip that can only be used but not directly exchanged. In other words, it can only be used at gambling tables and cannot be exchanged directly. So some people use this discount to make money.
