When decks of cards are received for use in a licensed establishment, they must be stored in a locked cabinet. The cabinet must be located in a secure location. The location must be approved by the executive secretary. A secondary storage area must be located in a secure area approved by the executive secretary.
Before the beginning of gaming for a shift or day and as necessary, the licensee or the licensee's agent must open the cabinet and remove the appropriate number of decks of cards for that shift or day, distribute the decks to the dealer at each table, and place the extra decks in a card reserve. The card reserve must be a locked compartment approved by the executive secretary.
