Section 13:69F-19.3 - Opening of the table for gaming

(a) After receiving the decks of cards at the table in accordance with N.J.A.C. 13:69E-1.18, the dealer shall, as applicable, comply with the requirements of either N.J.A.C. 13:69E-1.18(e)1 and (b) through (c) below or the requirements of N.J.A.C. 13:69E-1.18(e)2 and (r).

(b) If the decks contain the 10 of any suit, the dealer shall remove these cards from the decks, and the floorperson shall verify that all such cards have been removed from each deck, and shall destroy them in accordance with the casino licensee's internal control procedures. Following the inspection of the cards by the dealer and the verification by the floorperson assigned to the table, the cards shall be spread out face up on the table for visual inspection by the first player to arrive at the table. Each deck of cards shall be spread out separately, according to suit and in sequence.

(c) After the first player has been afforded an opportunity to visually inspect the cards, the cards shall be turned face down on the table, mixed thoroughly by a "washing" or "chemmy shuffle" of the cards, and stacked. If during the mixing or the stacking process a card is turned over and exposed to the players, the cards shall be remixed. Once the cards have been stacked, they shall be shuffled in accordance with N.J.A.C. 13:69F-19.4.
