				announce "last hand." At the completion of one more hand, no more cards will be
				dealt until the reshuffle occurs.

				The first vertical column in Table 2 labeled "Point Count of Banker's Hand"
				shall refer to the point count of the "Banker's Hand" after the first two cards
				have been dealt to it.
(e) The
				first horizontal column at the top of Table 2 labeled "Third Card Drawn by
				Player's Hand" shall refer to the value of the third card drawn by the
				"Player's Hand" as distinguished from the point count of the "Player's
				Hand."
(f) The letter "D" used in
				Table 2 shall mean that the "Banker's Hand" must draw a third card and the
				letter "S" used in Table 2 shall mean that the "Banker's Hand" must stay (that
				is, not draw a third card).
(g) The
				method of using Table 2 shall be to find the point count of the "Banker's Hand"
				in the first vertical column and trace that horizontally across the table until
				it intersects the third card drawn by the "Player's Hand." The box at which
				such intersection takes place will show whether the "Banker's Hand" shall draw
				a third card or stay. For example, if the point count of the "Banker's Hand"
				after two cards is 5 and the value of the third card drawn by the "Player's
				Hand" is 4, the table shows that the "Banker's Hand" shall draw a third card.
