Rule 822.
(1) All
				  of the following specifications apply to value chips:
(a) A chip issued by a casino licensee shall
				  be round in shape and have the name of the casino and the specific value of the
				  chip clearly and permanently impressed, engraved, or imprinted on the chip,
				  except that a casino licensee may issue gaming chips without a value impressed,
				  engraved, or imprinted on the chip for roulette. A chip that has a value
				  contained on the chip shall be known as a "value chip" and a chip that does not
				  have a value contained on the chip shall be known as a "nonvalue
				  chip."
(b) A value chip may be
				  issued by the casino licensee in denominations of 25 cents, 50 cents, $1.00,
				  $2.50, $5.00, $20.00, $25.00, $100.00, $500.00, $1,000.00, $5,000.00, and
				  $25,000.00. The casino licensee shall have discretion to determine the
				  denominations to be utilized in its casino and the amount of each denomination
				  for the conduct of casino gaming operations.
(c) Each denomination of value chip shall
				  have a primary color different from every other denomination of value chip.
				  Value chips shall fall within the colors set forth in this subdivision when the
				  chips are viewed both in daylight and under incandescent light. In conjunction
				  with the primary colors, each casino licensee shall utilize contrasting
				  secondary colors for the edge spots on each denomination of value chip. Unless
				  otherwise approved by the executive director, a casino licensee shall not use a
				  secondary color on a specific denomination of chip identical to the secondary
				  color used by another casino licensee on the same denomination of the value
				  chip. The primary color that a casino licensee shall utilize for each
				  denomination of value chip is as follows:
(i)
				  25 cents "Peach."
(ii) 50 cents
				  "Mustard yellow."
(iii) $1.00
				  "White."
(iv) $2.50
				  "Pink."
(v) $5.00 "Red."
(vi) $20.00 "Yellow."
(vii) $25.00 "Green."

(x) $1,000.00 "Fire orange."
(xi) $5,000.00 "Gray."
(xii) $ 25,000.00 "Watermelon."
(d) Each denomination of value
				  chip utilized by a casino licensee shall, unless otherwise authorized by the
				  board, be in compliance with all of the following specifications:
(i) Have a center portion containing the
				  value of the chip and the casino issuing it of a different shape from each
				  other denomination.
(ii) Be
				  designed so that the specific denomination of the chip can be determined on
				  closed circuit black and white television when placed in a stack of chips of
				  other denominations.
(iii) Be
				  designed, manufactured, and constructed so as to prevent, to the greatest
				  extent possible, the counterfeiting of the chips or each chip shall have an
				  embedded microchip identifying the issue and denomination of the
				  chip.
(e) The board may
				  approve a value chip in denominations that deviate from the requirements of
				  this rule if deviation is specifically identified by the casino licensee and if
				  the deviation does not affect the control, security, or integrity of the chips
				  or the operation of the games.
