				redeemed from any nonpatron source; provided, however, that nongaming employees
				of the excursion gambling boat may redeem chips or tokens they have received as
				gratuities.
(4) Value chips may be
				accepted from patrons as payment at face value for food or beverages purchased
				on the gaming floor. Any change due back to the patron shall be provided in

				shall be exchanged for cash at the cage or main bank during the same shift they
				were accepted as payment. Non-value (roulette) and tournament chips shall not
				be used for purposes other than wagering on approved gambling games. Currency
				transaction reporting requirements shall apply to any qualifying dollar value
				exchanges of value chips for products or services.
(5) Each excursion gambling boat shall
				promptly redeem its own chips and tokens by cash or by check dated the day of
				the redemption on an account of the excursion gambling boat as requested by the
				patron, except when the chips and tokens were obtained or used
				unlawfully.
(6) Each excursion
				gambling boat may demand the redemption of its chips or tokens from any person
				in possession of them and that person shall redeem the chips or tokens upon
				presentation of an equivalent amount of cash by the excursion gambling
				boat.

				boat shall knowingly accept, exchange, use, or redeem gaming chips or tokens
				issued by another excursion gambling boat.
