Almost every terminal will fall back to mag-swipe if the chip fails to read 3 times. I had an Amex with a faulty chip and had to do this every time. Terminal (every single one) would refuse to allow me to pay with a swipe initially, insisting on chip -- but once the chip failed 3 times, they'd all happily take the swipe.
