Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) If the
				first or second hole card of a player or the dealer is inadvertently turned
				face up in the dealing process, the third card dealt to that hand shall be
				dealt face down. If both cards of a player or the dealer are inadvertently
				turned face up in the dealing process, the dealer shall call the affected hand
				"dead," void any wagers associated with the dead hand and collect the two cards
				for placement in the discard rack. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a player
				has placed a jacks plus bonus wager, any winning wager shall be settled in
				accordance with the payout odds set forth in
				13:69F-33.11.
(b) A card that is found face up in the shoe
				or the deck while the cards are being dealt 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 or the deck during the dealing of the cards, all hands shall be void
				and the cards shall be reshuffled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
				card(s) are found face up after all cards have been dealt, the wagers of all
				players shall be settled in accordance with the provisions of
				13:69F-33.10 and 33.11.
(c) A card drawn in error without its face
				being exposed shall be used as though it was the next card from the shoe or the
				deck.
(d) If a player is dealt an
				incorrect number of cards, that player's hand shall be void.
(e) If the dealer fails to burn a card in
				accordance with these rules, the dealer shall continue dealing a card to each
				player and, after the betting round, the dealer shall burn two successive cards
				prior to dealing the next card.
(f)
				If the dealer fails to deal any player or the dealer a card in accordance with
				these rules, the round of play shall be considered a misdeal, all wagers shall
				be void, and the cards shall be collected by the dealer for a
				reshuffle.
(g) If the dealer fails
				to move the button in accordance with the rules of the game, the round of play
				shall continue as if the dealer moved the button. Upon commencement of the next
				round of play, the dealer shall rotate the button clockwise to the next player
				or, if the button has rotated to the player farthest to the dealer's right, the
				dealer.
(h) If a player
				inadvertently exposes any of his or her down cards prior to such time
				authorized by these rules for the dealer to expose them, the player's hand
				shall remain active and the round of play shall continue.
(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
				casino licensee's internal control procedures.
(j) If an automated dealing shoe is being
				used and the device jams, stops dealing cards, or fails to deal cards during a
				round of play, the round of play shall be void and the cards shall be removed
				from the device and reshuffled with any cards already dealt, in accordance with
				the casino licensee's internal control procedures.
(k) Any automated card shuffling device or
				automated dealing shoe shall be removed from a gaming table before any other
				method of shuffling or dealing may be utilized at that table.
