Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1.
				When playing cards are brought to a table, a dealer shall first approve all
				decks of cards. Decks must be sorted into sequence, by suit and the back of
				each card inspected to assure that all cards are present and none are marked,
				taped, bent, crimped, cut, or shaved. After approval, a dealer shall spread the
				cards face upwards on a table, by deck, according to suit and in sequence
				within the suit for review by the first player. After a player's review, the
				cards must be shuffled. If cards are removed from a table for any reason, they
				must be stored in a safe place and a dealer shall comply with this subsection
				when the cards are brought back to the table. If a table has been opened and no
				dealer is stationed at it, a dealer shall remove the cards from the table or
				place the cards in a discard holder or dealing shoe and securely cover
				them.
2. A dealer or shift manager
				shall inspect each dealing shoe before each day's activity. If a shoe is
				removed from a table for any reason, it must be stored in a safe place. If a
				table has been opened and no dealer is stationed at it, a dealer shall securely
				cover the shoe or remove the shoe from the table.
3. A dealer, upon receiving currency or chips
				from a player, shall:
a. If an organization
				has not installed a video surveillance system at a site, spread the currency on
				top of a table in full view of the player and shift manager and state the
				amount of currency in a voice loud enough to be heard by all players at the
				table. A dealer shall then take chips from a chip tray, equal in value to the
				currency, place the chips in a stacked manner in the inner table area with only
				the dealer's right hand, fan the chips, push the chips to the player and place
				the currency in a drop box; or
b.
				If an organization has installed a video surveillance system at a site, spread
				each bill of currency face down and flat, in sequence of denomination, in the
				inner table area, perpendicular to a chip tray, and momentarily move the
				dealer's hands away from the currency so the currency is within a camera's
				view. A dealer shall then take chips from a chip tray, equal in value to the
				currency, place the chips in a stacked manner in the inner table area with only
				the dealer's right hand, fan the chips, and momentarily move the dealer's hands
				away from the chips so the chips are within a camera's view. A dealer shall
				then restack the chips, and push the chips to a player, and place the currency
				in a drop box.
c. If a chip is
				received from a player to be exchanged for chips of other value, the dealer
				shall place the payout chip in the inner table area at the dealer's left, sort,
				stack, and fan the chips. If the table has a video surveillance system, a
				dealer shall momentarily move the dealer's hands away from the chips so they
				are within a camera's view. A dealer shall then take twenty-one chips from the
				chip tray, equal in value to the chips, and fan the chips. If the table has a
				video surveillance system, a dealer shall momentarily move the dealer's hands
				away from the chips so they are within a camera's view. A dealer shall then
				restack the chips, push the chips to the player, and place the exchanged chip
				in the chip tray.
