Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) A card found
				  face up in the shoe may not be used in that round of play and shall be placed
				  in the discard rack. If more than one card is found face up in the shoe during
				  the dealing of the cards, the round of play shall be void and the cards shall
				  be reshuffled.
(b) If a 10 card of
				  any suit is found in the shoe, it may not be used in the game and shall be
				  removed from the shoe and torn in half by a floorperson and placed in the box,
				  envelope or container that the decks came from. If more than one 10 card is
				  found in the shoe during the dealing of the cards, the round of play shall be
				  void and the decks of cards shall be removed from play.
(c) A card drawn in error without its face
				  being exposed shall be used as though it were the next card from the
				  shoe.
(d) After the initial two
				  cards have been dealt to each player and a card is drawn in error and exposed
				  to the players, the card shall be dealt to the players or dealer as though it
				  were the next card from the shoe. Any player refusing to accept the card may
				  not have any additional cards dealt to him during the round. If the card is
				  refused by the players and the dealer cannot use the card, the card shall be
				  placed in the discard rack.
(e) If
				  the dealer has 17 and accidentally draws a card for himself, the card shall be
				  placed in the discard rack.
(f) If
				  the dealer misses dealing his first or second card to himself, the dealer shall
				  continue dealing the first two cards to each player and then deal the
				  appropriate number of cards to himself.
(g) If there are insufficient cards remaining
				  in the shoe to complete a round of play, all of the cards in the discard rack
				  shall be shuffled and cut in accordance with §
										635a.5 (relating to shuffle and
				  cut of the cards). The first card shall be drawn face down and placed in the
				  discard rack and the dealer shall complete the round of play.
(h) If no cards are dealt to the player's
				  hand, the player's hand is dead and the player shall be included in the next
				  deal. If only one card is dealt to the player's hand, at the player's option,
				  the dealer shall deal the second card to the player after all other players
				  have received a second card.
(i) If
				  after receiving the first two cards, the dealer fails to deal an additional
				  card to a player who has requested a card, then, at the player's option, the
				  dealer shall either deal the additional card after all other players have
				  received their additional cards but prior to the dealer revealing his hole card
				  or call the player's hand dead and return the player's original Spanish 21
				  Wager.
(j) If the dealer inserts
				  his hole card into a card reader device when the value of his first card is not
				  an ace, king, queen or jack, the dealer, after notification to a floorperson or
				  above, shall, if the particular card reader device in use:
(1) Provides any player with the opportunity
				  to determine the value of the hole card, call all hands dead, collect the cards
				  and return each player's wager.
(2)
				  Does not provide any player with the opportunity to determine the value of the
				  hole card, continue play.
