Section 13:69F-25.9 - Procedures for dealing the cards from an automated dealing shoe

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of N.J.A.C. 13:69E or this chapter, a casino licensee may, in its discretion, choose to have the cards used to play double cross poker dealt from an automated dealing shoe, which dispenses cards in stacks of two cards.

(b) If a casino licensee chooses to have the cards dealt from an automated dealing shoe, the following requirements shall be observed.

1. Once the procedures required by 13:69F-25.4 have been completed, the cards shall be placed in the automated dealing shoe.

2. Prior to the shoe dispensing any stacks of cards, the dealer shall then announce "No more bets."

(c) The dealer shall deliver the first stack of cards dispensed by the automated dealing shoe face down to the player farthest to his or her left who has placed an ante wager in accordance with 13:69F-25.6. As the remaining stacks are dispensed to the dealer by the automated dealing shoe, the dealer shall, moving clockwise around the table, deliver a stack face down to each of the other players who has placed an ante wager in accordance with 13:69F-25.6. The dealer shall then deliver a stack of two cards face down to the area designated for the dealer's hand. These two cards shall remain in a stack with one on top of the other face down until each player has elected to fold or made a raise wager. The dealer shall then remove the remaining cards from the automated dealing shoe and deal from his or her hand five consecutive community cards face down in a cross formation to the area designated for the placement of community cards, with the first three community cards being dealt from the dealer's left to right in a horizontal array and the remaining two community cards being dealt to the top and bottom of the center card to complete a vertical array of three cards. After all cards have been dispensed, delivered and dealt in accordance with this section, the dealer shall place the stub in the discard rack without exposing the cards.

(d) The dealer shall be required to count the stub at least once every five rounds of play in order to determine that the correct numbers of cards are still present in the deck. The dealer shall count the stub in accordance with the provisions of 13:69F-25.7(e).
