Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment makes these rules consistent
				  with other regulations and reduces the supervision requirements for table games
				  per industry request.
(1)
				When dice are received for use in the facility from a licensed supplier, the
				boxes shall be promptly inspected and the dice shall be stored in a primary or
				secondary storage area by at least two (2) employees, one (1) of whom shall be
				from the table games department and the other from the security department. The
				primary storage area shall be located in a secure place, the location and
				physical characteristics of which shall be approved by the commission.
				Secondary storage areas, if needed, shall be used for the storage of surplus
				dice. Dice maintained in secondary storage areas shall be transferred to the
				primary storage area before being distributed to the pits or tables. All
				secondary storage areas shall be located in secure areas, the location and
				physical characteristics of which shall be approved by the
				commission.
(2) All primary and
				secondary storage areas shall have two (2) separate locks. The security
				department shall maintain one (1) key and the table games department shall
				maintain the other key; provided, however, that no person employed by the table
				games department below the pit manager or poker room manager in the
				organizational hierarchy shall have access to the table games department key
				for the primary and secondary storage areas.
(3) Immediately prior to the commencement of
				each gaming day and at other times as may be necessary, the pit manager, poker
				room manager, or supervisor thereof, in the presence of a security officer,
				shall remove the appropriate number of dice from the primary storage area for
				that gaming day.
(4) Once removed
				from the primary storage area, the pit manager, poker room manager, or
				supervisor thereof, in the presence of a security officer, shall take the dice
				to the pit(s) and distribute the dice to the floor supervisor(s) or directly to
				the box person at each table.
(A) At any time
				prior to being introduced into play and in the presence of the floor
				supervisor, a box-person at each craps table or another floor supervisor shall
				inspect the dice on a flat surface at the craps table or pit stand with a
				micrometer or any other approved instrument approved by the commission which
				performs the same function, a balancing caliper, a steel set square and a
				magnet to ensure that the dice are in a condition to ensure fair play and
				otherwise conform to sections
				313.800
				to
				313.850, RSMo
				and the rules of the commission. These instruments shall be kept in a
				compartment at a craps table or pit stand and shall be at all times readily
				available for use by the commission upon request.
(B) Following this inspection the box person
				shall in the presence of the floor supervisor place the dice in a cup on the
				table for use in gaming, and at all times while the dice are at the table, they
				shall never be left unattended. If the dice are inspected by a floor supervisor
				for future use that gaming day, the floor supervisor shall, in the presence of
				another floor supervisor, place the inspected dice in a single locked
				compartment in the pit stand.
(C)
				The pit manager shall place extra dice for dice reserve in a single locked
				compartment in the pit stand separate from any preinspected dice. The floor
				supervisor or above shall have access to the extra dice to be used for that
				gaming day.
(D) No dice taken from
				the reserve shall be used for actual gaming unless the dice are inspected in
				accordance with this rule.
