Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) A card
				found turned face upwards in the shoe shall not be used in the game and shall
				be placed in the discard rack. If more than one card is found face up in the
				shoe during the dealing of the cards, the round of play shall be void and the
				cards shall be reshuffled.
(b) A
				card drawn in error without its face being exposed shall be used as though it
				were the next card from the shoe.
(c) After the initial four cards have been
				dealt to each player and a card is drawn in error and exposed to the players,
				such card shall be dealt to the players or dealer as though it were the next
				card from the shoe. Any player refusing to accept such card shall not have any
				additional cards dealt to that player during such round. If the card is refused
				by the players and the dealer cannot use the card, the card shall be
				burned.
(d) If the dealer has a
				hard total of 17 or a hard or soft 18 point total and draws an additional card
				for the dealer, such card shall be burned.
(e) If the dealer misses dealing the first or
				second card to the dealer, the dealer shall continue dealing the first two
				cards to each player's betting box, and then deal the appropriate number of
				cards to the dealer.
(f) If there
				are insufficient cards remaining in the shoe to complete a round of play, all
				of the cards in the discard rack shall be shuffled and cut according to the
				procedures in
				13:69F-2A.4, the first card shall
				be drawn face downwards and burned, and the dealer shall complete the round of
				play.
(g) If no initial cards are
				dealt to a player's hand, the hand is dead and the player shall be included in
				the next deal. If only one card is dealt to a player's hand, at the player's
				option, the dealer shall deal the second card to the player after all other
				players have received a second card.
(h) If, after a player receives the first two
				cards, the dealer fails to deal an additional card or cards to a player who has
				requested such cards, then at the player's option, the dealer shall either deal
				the additional cards after all other players have received their additional
				cards but prior to the dealer revealing his or her hole card, or shall call the
				player's hand dead and return the player's original wager.
(i) If an automated card shuffling device is
				being used and the device jams, stops shuffling during a shuffle, or fails to
				complete a shuffle cycle, the cards shall be reshuffled in accordance with the
				rules of the Division.
(j) Any
				automated card shuffling device shall be removed from a gaming table before any
				other method of shuffling may be utilized at that table.
(k) If the dealer inserts his or her hole
				card into a card reader device when the value of his or her first card is not
				an ace, king, queen, jack, or 10, the dealer, after notification to a casino
				supervisor, shall:
1. Call all hands dead,
				collect the cards and return the wagers of each player if the particular card
				reader device in use provides any player with the opportunity to determine the
				value of the hole card; or
2.
				Continue play if the particular card reader device in use does not provide any
				player with the opportunity to determine the value of the hole card.
