Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 13 - Gaming › Part 3 - OPERATIONS › Chapter 3 - CARD GAMES › Rule 13-3-3.2 - Card Game Drop Box Procedures

Current through June 25, 2024
(a) Each card table
				shall have one card game drop box with the drop slot located at least four
				inches in front of the table tray and to the right thereof, unless the table is
				equipped with a drop slot located at least two inches to the right of and even
				with the top right-hand corner of the table tray, with a cover over the drop
				slot, which when activated will cause the rake to drop directly into the drop
				box. The card game drop box shall be a locked container marked with a permanent
				number corresponding to a permanent number on the card table and permanently
				marked to indicate game and shift, all of which markings shall be clearly
				visible at a distance of 20 feet. The locked drop box shall be locked to the
				card table with a lock that is keyed separately from the locked drop box
				itself.
(b) All card game drop
				boxes shall be removed from their respective card tables at the times
				previously submitted in writing to and approved by the Executive Director. The
				removal of card game drop boxes shall be without any interruptions so that an
				observer may be able to observe the markings on the boxes. The boxes must be
				transported directly to the room designated for counting where they shall be
				stored in a secure place or immediately counted. In the event of electronic or
				mechanical malfunction, or any other situation which prevents the placement of
				money in the drop box, the licensee may perform an emergency drop on the
				malfunctioning device. Emergency Drops require a secondary written notification
				to be filed with the Mississippi Gaming Commission. Such emergency drop must be
				recorded on the casino surveillance systems. Recordings of any emergency drop
				must be retained for fourteen (14) days.
(c) For each card table where a jackpot
				eligible card game may be played, a jackpot drop box shall be installed with
				the drop slot located at least four inches in front of the table tray and to
				the left thereof, unless the table is equipped with a drop slot located at
				least two inches to the left of and even with the top left-hand corner of the
				table tray, with a cover over the drop slot, which when activated will cause
				the jackpot rake to drop directly into the jackpot drop box. The jackpot drop
				box shall be a locked container marked with a permanent number corresponding to
				a permanent number on the card table and permanently marked, all of which
				markings shall be clearly visible at a distance of 20 feet. The locked
				container shall be locked to the card table and shall be separately keyed from
				the container itself.
(d) All
				jackpot drop boxes shall be removed from their respective card tables at the
				times previously submitted in writing to and approved by the Executive
				Director. The removal of jackpot drop boxes shall be without any interruptions
				so an observer may be able to observe the markings on the boxes. The boxes must
				be transported directly to the room designated for counting where they shall be
				stored in a secure place or immediately counted. In the event of electronic or
				mechanical malfunction, or any other situation which prevents the placement of
				money in the drop box, the licensee may perform an emergency drop on the
				malfunctioning device. Emergency Drops require a secondary written notification
				to be filed with the Mississippi Gaming Commission. Such emergency drop must be
				recorded on the casino surveillance systems, and a copy of this recording must
				be available for inspection by the Mississippi Gaming Commission for fourteen
				(14) days after the emergency drop is performed.
