Legend

in the game of sabacc, card-chips were used to form any given hand. Each card-chip had a small display panel that showed the card's suit and value, or the image of one of the many face cards. Each card-chip also had a transceiver chip imbedded in it, which allowed the table-field to communicate any changes to its suit and/or value while the card-chip was still held by a player, in accordance with the rules of sabacc. Once a card-chip was placed onto the table-field, its suit and value was locked for the duration of the hand. Note that some sources indicate that individual card-chips had buttons that could be pushed to reveal the image of its suit and value.
