New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 13 - LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY › Chapter 69E - GAMING EQUIPMENT › Subchapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 13:69E-1.19B - Pai gow tiles; receipt; storage; inspections and removal from use

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) When sets of tiles to be used at pai gow
				are received from the manufacturer or distributor thereof, they shall
				immediately following receipt be inspected by a member of the casino security
				department and a casino supervisor to assure that the seals on each package are
				intact, unbroken and free from tampering. Packages that do not satisfy these
				criteria shall be inspected at this time to assure that the tiles conform to
				Division standards and there is no evidence of tampering. Packages satisfying
				these criteria, together with packages having unbroken, intact, and untampered
				seals shall then be placed for storage in a locked cabinet within a primary or
				secondary storage area. Sets of tiles which are to be distributed to gaming
				pits or tables for use in gaming shall be distributed from a locked cabinet in
				the cashiers' cage or from another secure primary storage area, the location
				and physical characteristics of which shall be approved by the Division.
				Secondary storage areas shall be used for the storage of surplus tiles. Tiles
				maintained in secondary storage areas shall not be distributed to gaming pits
				or tables for use in gaming until the tiles have been moved to a primary
				storage area. All secondary storage areas shall be located in secure areas, the
				location and physical characteristics of which shall be approved by the
				Division.
(b) All primary and
				secondary storage areas, other than the cashiers' cage, shall have two separate
				locks. The casino security department shall maintain one key and the casino
				department or cashiers' cage shall maintain the other key; provided, however,
				that no person employed by the casino department below the table games shift
				manager in the organization hierarchy shall have access to the casino
				department key. Tiles stored in a cabinet within the cashiers' cage shall be
				secured by a lock, the key to which shall be maintained by a table games shift
				manager or casino supervisor thereof.
(c) Immediately prior to the commencement of
				each gaming day and at such other times as may be necessary, the table games
				shift manager or casino supervisor thereof, in the presence of a casino
				security officer, shall remove the appropriate number of sets of tiles for that
				gaming day from a primary storage area.
(d) All envelopes and containers used to hold
				or transport tiles shall be transparent. The envelopes or containers and the
				method used to seal them shall be designed or constructed so that any tampering
				shall be evident.
(e) The table
				games shift manager or casino supervisor thereof shall distribute sufficient
				sets of tiles to the pit boss in each pai gow pit.
1. The pit boss shall then distribute the
				sets to the dealer at each table, and shall place extra sets in reserve at the
				pit stand.
2. Sets of tiles in
				reserve shall be placed in a locked compartment, keys to which shall be in the
				possession of the pit boss or casino supervisor thereof.
