Sec. 12.

(a) This section applies to the deal and play in the game of baccarat.

(b) At the beginning of play, the dealer calling the game shall offer the shoe to the player in seat number one (1) at the table. If that player rejects the shoe or if there is no one in seat number one (1), the dealer shall offer the shoe to each player in turn, counterclockwise, around the table until one (1) of the players accepts the shoe and becomes the curator.

(c) The curator shall be responsible for dealing the cards in accordance with this rule and the instructions of the dealer.

(d) A player who is not seated shall not be allowed to be the curator and shall not be allowed to make a wager.

(e) A player may place a bet in the designated area on the layout on either hand before the cards are dealt.

(f) At the beginning of each round of play, the dealer calling the game shall announce "No more bets" after which the dealer shall instruct the curator to commence dealing the cards by announcing "Cards".

(g) In the game of baccarat, the first four (4) cards are dealt alternately from the shoe. The first and third cards shall become the first and second cards of the player's hand. The second and fourth cards shall become the first and second cards of the banker's hand. These cards are dealt by the curator and placed in a space on the layout in front of the players in the following manner:

(1) First card is dealt face down by the curator to the stickperson calling the game.

(2) Second card is dealt by the curator and placed face down under the corner of the shoe.

(3) Third card is dealt face down by the curator to the stickperson calling the game.

(4) Fourth card is dealt by the curator and placed face down under the corner of the shoe.

(5) The stickperson delivers the player's cards to the patron placing the highest wager; the patron turns the cards face up and returns them to the stickperson to place them in the section of the layout designated for the player's hand. In the event that two (2) patrons place the same wagers that are determined to be the highest, the patron located at the right of the stickperson and who was one (1) of the patrons placing the highest wager, turns the player's cards face up and returns them to the stickperson to place them in the section of the layout designated for the player's hand.

(6) The stickperson instructs the curator to turn the banker's cards face up and the stickperson then places them in the section of the layout designated for the banker's hand.

(h) The deal and play of baccarat shall continue in accordance with section 14 of this rule.
