Pennsylvania Code › Title 58 - RECREATION › Part VII - GAMING CONTROL BOARD › Subpart K - Table Games › Chapter 687a - DJ WILD STUD POKER › Section 687a.8 - Procedure for dealing the cards from a manual dealing shoe

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) If a manual dealing shoe is used, the
				  dealing shoe must be located on the table in a location approved by the Bureau
				  of Casino Compliance in accordance with §
										601a.10(g)
				  (relating to approval of table game layouts, signage and equipment). Once the
				  procedures required under §
										687a.5 (relating to shuffle and
				  cut of the cards) have been completed, the stacked deck of cards shall be
				  placed in the dealing shoe by the dealer or by an automated card shuffling
				  device.
(b) Prior to dealing any
				  cards, the dealer shall announce "no more bets." To deal the cards, the dealer
				  shall remove each card from the dealing shoe with the hand of the dealer that
				  is closest to the dealing shoe and place it on the appropriate area of the
				  layout with the opposite hand.
(c)
				  If a player has placed a Progressive Bonus Wager on the sensor, the dealer will
				  press the Start Game button on the keypad, which will light up the Progressive
				  Bonus Wagers placed, and the dealer will collect the Progressive Bonus
				  Wagers.
(d) Starting with the
				  player farthest to the dealer's left and continuing around the table in a
				  clockwise manner, the dealer shall deal a stack of five cards to each player
				  who has placed an Ante Wager and Blind Wager in accordance with §
										687a.7(d)(1)
				  (relating to wagers). All cards shall be dealt face down to the
				  players.
(e) After five cards have
				  been dealt to each player, the dealer shall deal himself five cards.
(f) The dealer shall then place one card in
				  the area on the layout described in §
										687a.2(b)(4)
				  (relating to DJ Wild Stud Poker Table; physical characteristics), and the
				  dealer shall remove the stub from the manual dealing shoe and, except as
				  provided in subsection (i), place the stub in the discard rack without exposing
				  the cards.
(g) If an automated card
				  shuffling device, which counts the number of cards in the deck after the
				  completion of each shuffle and indicates whether 53 cards are present, is not
				  being used, the dealer shall count the stub at least once every 5 rounds of
				  play to determine if the correct number of cards are still present in the deck.
				  The dealer shall determine the number of cards in the stub by counting the
				  cards face down on the layout.
(h)
				  If the count of the stub indicates that 53 cards are in the deck, the dealer
				  shall place the stub in the discard rack without exposing the cards.
(i) If the count of the stub indicates that
				  the number of cards in the deck is incorrect, the dealer shall determine if the
				  cards were misdealt. If the cards were misdealt but 53 cards remain in the
				  deck, all hands shall be void and all wagers shall be returned to the players.
				  If the cards were not misdealt, all hands shall be void, all wagers shall be
				  returned to the players and the entire deck of cards shall be removed from the
				  table.
