Section 179-4-83 - Inventory of Chips

83.1. Chips shall be taken from or returned to either the reserve chip inventory or the secondary set of chips in the presence of not less than two individuals from two of the following independent departments of the limited gaming facility: Security; accounting; auditing; or the casino department. The denominations, number, and amount of chips taken or returned shall be recorded in the chip inventory ledger together with the date and signatures of the individuals carrying out the process.

83.2. The limited gaming facility licensee shall, on a monthly basis, compute and record the unredeemed liability for each denomination of chips to ensure that an inventory of chips in circulation is made and to ensure that the result of the inventory is recorded in the chips inventory ledger. On a monthly basis, the limited gaming facility licensee shall ensure that an inventory of chips in reserve is made and ensure that the result of the inventory is recorded in the chip inventory ledger. A limited gaming facility licensee shall submit the procedures it will use to compute the unredeemed liability and to inventory chips in circulation and reserve to the Commission for approval. A physical inventory of chips in reserve is required annually if the inventory procedures incorporate the sealing of the locked compartment.

83.3. During non-gaming hours, the limited gaming facility licensee shall ensure that all chips in the possession of the casino are stored in the chip bank, in the vault, or in a locked compartment in a cashier's cage. However, chips may be locked in a transparent compartment on gaming tables if there is adequate security as approved by the Commission.
