Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 13:69F-4.11 - Continuation of banker as such; selection of new banker

(a) It shall be the option of the Banker, after any round of play, either to pass the shoe or remain as Banker except that:

1. The Banker shall pass the shoe whenever the "Banker's Hand" loses; and

2. The dealer or floorman assigned to the table may order the Banker to pass the shoe if the Banker unreasonably delays the game, repeatedly makes invalid deals or violates either the Casino Control Act or the rules of the Division.

(b) Whenever a mandatory relinquishment of the bank occurs, it shall be offered to the seated participant to the right of the previous Banker and then to each other seated participant, moving counterclockwise around the table, until a participant accepts it and becomes the new Banker.

(c) Whenever a voluntary relinquishment of the bank occurs, each seated participant shall be offered it, beginning with the participant to the right of the previous Banker and moving counterclockwise around the table. The first participant willing to accept the bank and to wager an amount on the next hand equal to, but not more than twice, the amount of the previous Banker's last wager, shall become the next Banker. If no participant offers to meet this condition, the participant offering to wager the highest amount on the next hand shall become the new Banker; provided, however, that the participant who passed the bank shall not be permitted to take part in the first round of such bidding.

(d) When a passed bank is defeated in any hand, it shall be transferred as it would have been in accordance with (b) above had it not been voluntarily passed.

(e) A participant by moving to another seat at the table shall miss a turn to become the Banker in the next seat where such a move would otherwise give that participant promotion in turn to become the Banker.
