Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino / rules of the game | | English term or phrase: rat holing | Background: Poker rules for online gaming casino. Documentation for application of licence.
I have found definitions of the term but no translation in the many online glossaries I could fine. I know that some terms in poker tend to be left in English but I would like to make sure there is no accepted translation for this.
Context:
===
Rat holing
To exit a game and return to the same game with fewer chips than you initially left with.
===
TIA
Any help appreciated

| | | esconder fichas | Explanation:
No parece que haya un termino descrito en español, segun la definicion de la web es la practica de esconder las fichas en el bolsillo o el el bolso para evitar que el casino vea lo que se lleva ganado....
yo lo dejaria como termino en ingles y pondria una nota del traductor si es posible |

8 mins confidence:   irse con el rabo entre las piernas
Explanation:
No es una traducción oficial (no sé si habrá alguna, de hecho; sinceramente, me extrañaría que existiera una traducción oficial para algo tan coloquial), pero a la vista de la explicación esto es lo primero que me viene a la cabeza... e incluso conserva bastante la metáfora ratonil del original. :)

Huy, perdón, acabo de releer la explicación y me he dado cuenta de un fallo... ¿Puedo cambiar mi propuesta a "*volver* con el rabo entre las piernas"?
