New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 13 - LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY › Chapter 69E - GAMING EQUIPMENT › Subchapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 13:69E-1.5A - Promotional gaming chips for direct bet wagers

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) A promotional gaming chip shall have no
				cash value and may be utilized by a casino licensee in lieu of a direct bet
				coupon as authorized pursuant to
				N.J.A.C.
				13:69D-1.18.
(b) Promotional gaming chips shall have a
				uniform diameter of one and 57/64 inches (48mm).
(c) Each denomination of promotional gaming
				chip issued by a casino licensee shall contain a predominant color unique to
				that denomination to be known as the "primary color." A "secondary color" on a
				promotional gaming chip is any color, other than that chip's primary color,
				that the Division authorizes a casino licensee to include on the face of the
				chip as a contrast to the chip's primary color, except that no primary color
				shall be used as a secondary color on a promotional gaming chip of another
				denomination where such use is reasonably likely to cause confusion as to the
				chip's denomination.
(d)
				Promotional gaming chips are not required to have an edge design. If
				promotional gaming chips do not have an edge design, only one chip may be
				wagered on any given hand or round of play.
(e) Each promotional gaming chip manufacturer
				shall submit sample color disks to the Division that identify all primary and
				secondary colors to be used for the manufacture of promotional gaming chips for
				casino licensees in Atlantic City. Once a promotional gaming chip manufacturer
				has received approval for a primary or secondary color, those colors shall be
				consistently manufactured in accordance with the approved samples. In order for
				a primary color to be approved for use, it must visually appear, when viewed
				either in daylight or under incandescent light, to comply with the color
				tolerances or such other similar color tolerances as approved by the
				Division.
(f) Each promotional
				gaming chip issued by a casino licensee shall contain certain identifying
				characteristics that may appear in any location at least once on each face of
				the promotional gaming chip and are applied in a manner that ensures that each
				such characteristic shall be clearly visible and remain a permanent part of the
				promotional gaming chip. These characteristics shall, at a minimum, include:
1. The denomination of the promotional gaming
				chip, expressed in numbers;
2. The
				name, trade name, or other approved identification of the casino licensee
				issuing the promotional gaming chip, which shall be applied in such a manner so
				as to be visible to surveillance employees using the closed-circuit television
				system;
3. The words "Promotional"
				or "No Cash Value." If a casino uses tournament chips and the tournament chips
				have "No Cash Value" printed thereon, the promotional gaming chips must contain
				the word "Promotional";
4. At least
				one anti-counterfeiting measure in addition to those items specifically
				required to appear on the face of a promotional gaming chip pursuant to this
				section;
5. The words "Atlantic
				City" or "New Jersey," if the casino licensee has casino properties in other
				gaming jurisdictions;
6. The
				primary color as to be distinguished from the value and non-value chips being
				used at gaming tables in the casino or casino simulcasting facility;
				and
7. A design, pattern, or other
				feature that a natural person with adequate training could readily use to
				identify, when viewed through the closed circuit television system of the
				casino licensee, the denomination of the particular promotional gaming chip
				when placed on a gaming table; provided, however, that the design, pattern, or
				feature created by the primary and secondary colors required at (c) above shall
				be sufficient by itself to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph if
				approved for that purpose by the Division. It shall be permissible for
				promotional gaming chips to have edge markings sufficient for surveillance
				operators to be able to distinguish each denomination of chips.
