Prior to their use at a table, decks must be inspected by the dealer. The dealer must check the back of each card to assure that it is not flawed, scratched, or marked in any way. If, after checking the cards, the dealer finds that certain cards are damaged or improper, the licensee or the licensee's agent must bring a substitute deck from the card reserve. The damaged or improper cards must be placed in a sealed envelope or container, identified by table number, date, and time, and signed or initialed by the dealer and the licensee or the licensee's agent.
Cards damaged during the course of play must be replaced. The damaged cards must be placed in a sealed envelope or container, identified by table number, date, and time, and must be signed or initialed by the dealer.
The licensee must remove cards at any time if there is any indication of tampering, flaws, scratches, marks, or other defects that might affect the integrity or fairness of the game or at the request of an authorized representative of the executive secretary or commission.
A label must be attached to an envelope or container which identifies the date and time and which must be signed or initialed by the licensee or the licensee's agent.
