(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.
(b) A card
				  drawn in error without its face being exposed shall be used as though it were
				  the next card from the shoe.
(c)
				  After the first two cards have been dealt to each player and the dealer 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 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.
(d) If the dealer has 17 and accidentally
				  draws a card for himself, the card shall be placed in the discard
				  rack.
(e) 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 the procedures in
				  §
										685a.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.
(f) If no cards are dealt to a player's hand,
				  the hand is dead and the player shall be included in the next deal. If only one
				  card is dealt to a player's hand, at the player's option, the dealer shall deal
				  the second card to the player after all players have received a second
				  card.
(g) 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, unless that hole card
				  has been exposed in accordance with §
										685a.7(h)
				  (relating to procedure of dealing the cards; completion of each round of play),
				  or call the player's hand dead and return the player's initial Bet
				  Wager.
(h) If the Masque Card
				  Reader device wrongly indicates the value range of the dealer's hole card by
				  illuminating the wrong colored light, or if the dealer places the hole card in
				  the incorrect spot on the layout prior to player action on the hand, the dealer
				  shall either allow the player to continue the action on that hand with the
				  decisions already made or call the player's hand dead and return the player's
				  initial Bet Wager, including those Bet Wagers for players who exceeded
				  21.
(i) If a Masque Card Reader
				  device malfunctions, the dealer may not continue dealing the game of Down Under
				  Blackjack at that table until the Card Reader device is repaired or
				  replaced.
(j) 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.
(k) If an automated
				  shuffling device malfunctions and cannot be used, the device must be covered or
				  have a sign indicating that it is out of order placed on the device before any
				  other method of shuffling may be utilized at that table.
