Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) Each Roulette chip shall be assigned to a
				  particular Roulette table and be issued and used for gaming at that table only.
				  All Roulette chips utilized at a particular Roulette table must have the same
				  design, insert or symbol as required under §
										603a.4(b)(2)
				  (relating to Roulette chips; physical characteristics). A certificate holder or
				  any employee thereof may not knowingly allow a patron to remove a Roulette chip
				  from the Roulette table at which it was issued.
(b) A patron at a Roulette table may not be
				  issued or permitted to game with Roulette chips that are identical in color and
				  design to any Roulette chip issued to any other patron at the same table. When
				  a patron purchases Roulette chips, a Roulette chip of the same color and design
				  shall be placed in a slot or receptacle attached to the outer rim of the
				  Roulette wheel or in another device or location approved by the Bureau of
				  Casino Compliance in accordance with §
										601a.10(g)
				  (relating to approval of table game layouts, signage and equipment). At that
				  time, a marker button denoting the value of a stack of 20 Roulette chips of the
				  same color and design shall be placed in the slot, receptacle or other device.
				  For example, a marker button with 100 imprinted on it would be placed in the
				  receptacle to designate that, during the patron's play on that occasion, the
				  Roulette chips of that color and design are each worth $5.
(c) An impressment of the Roulette chips
				  assigned to each Roulette table shall be completed by a floorperson or above at
				  least once every 3 months as specified in the certificate holder's internal
				  controls required under §
										465a.2 (relating to internal
				  control systems and audit protocols). The certificate holder shall record the
				  results of the impressment in the chip inventory ledger required under §
										603a.11 (relating to receipt of
				  gaming chips or plaques from a manufacturer or supplier; inventory, security,
				  storage and destruction of chips and plaques).
(d) If additional roulette chips are required
				  to restore the impress, the floorperson or above shall complete a Roulette Chip
				  Impressment Form. The completed Roulette Chip Impressment Form shall be
				  maintained by the accounting department and contain the following, at a
				  minimum:
(1) The date and time of
				  preparation.
(2) The design
				  schematic of the chip including its primary color and the applicable table
				  number.
(3) The number of Roulette
				  chips needed to restore the impress.
(4) The signature of the floorperson or above
				  who completes the Roulette Chip Impressment Form and the impressment for the
				  table.
(5) The signature of the
				  main bank cashier or chip bank cashier who issued the Roulette chips to restore
				  the impress.
