Full explanation

To tap is to place a small chip or “tap” on an opponent’s bet to signify matching amount.

Explanation. In live games, tapping their bet with a single chip instead of speaking or placing full stack signals action (like calling). It’s a polite audible-free confirmation. Understanding taps helps prevent misreads and supports clear dealer communication.
