Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 13:69D-1.23

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) Whenever gaming chips, coins and/or plaques are to be removed from a gaming table via a Credit Slip ("Credit"), a computer or manual Request for Credit ("Request") shall be prepared by a casino supervisor, or a casino clerk at the direction of a casino supervisor. The Request shall include, at a minimum:

1. The date and time;

2. The game and table number;

3. The denomination and total amount of each denomination of gaming chips, coins and/or plaques to be removed; and

4. The signature of the casino supervisor.

(b) If a Request is computer prepared, the information required in (a) above shall be entered into the computer system and simultaneously transmitted to the chip bank where a Credit Slip shall be automatically printed. If it is necessary to void a Credit Slip prior to transporting the Credit from the gaming table (for example, no longer needed or data input error), it shall be voided by the chip bank cashier, who shall mark the Credit Slip void, record the reason for the void and sign the original and all copies.

(c) If the computer system is not operational and a Request is manually prepared, the information required in (a) above shall be recorded on a one-part form. The Request shall be transported directly to the cashiers' cage for the preparation of a manual Credit Slip. The chip bank cashier shall prepare the Credit Slip and record the Credit Slip number on the Request. The chip bank cashier shall initial the Request.

(d) A Credit Slip shall be, at a minimum, a sequentially numbered three-part form and each series shall be accounted for by casino accounting department employees with no incompatible functions. A Credit Slip shall include, at a minimum, the following:

1. The date and time of preparation;

2. The game and table number;

3. The denomination and total amount of each denomination of gaming chips, coins and/or plaques being removed;

4. The total amount of all chips, coins and/or plaques being removed;

5. The signature of the chip bank cashier (original and in computer mode, the triplicate);

6. The signature of the security department member (original and duplicate);

7. The signature of the dealer or boxperson (original and duplicate); and

8. The signature of the casino supervisor (original and duplicate).

(e) If computer generated, Credit Slips shall be printed at the chip bank in response to a computerized Request. The Credit Slip shall consist of an original, duplicate and triplicate, and all information thereon shall be maintained in stored data in machine-readable form. The data shall not be susceptible to change or removal after the preparation of the Credit.

(f) If manually prepared, Credit Slips shall be either:

1. Inserted in a locked dispenser that permits an individual slip in the series and its copies to be written upon simultaneously while still locked in the dispenser that discharges the original and duplicate and maintains the triplicate in a continuous, unbroken form; or

2. Attached in a manner that permits each form to be written on simultaneously and allows for the removal of the original and the duplicate and maintains the triplicate in the book.

(g) The triplicate Credit Slip and, if manually prepared, the Request, shall be maintained at the chip bank. The original and duplicate Credit Slip shall be transported with a clear container to the gaming table by a security department member.

(h) Upon receipt of the Credit Slip and the clear container at the gaming table, the dealer or boxperson shall place the original and duplicate Credit Slip on the gaming table in view of the CCTV system. The dealer or boxperson shall then remove the chips, coins, and/or plaques from the table inventory and count them in the presence of the casino supervisor and the security department member and place the chips, coins, and/or plaques in the clear container. The dealer or boxperson, the casino supervisor, and the security department member shall sign both the original and duplicate Credit Slip attesting to the agreement of chips, coins, and/or plaques removed from the table inventory to the information recorded on the Credit Slip. The security department member shall:

1. Observe the dealer or boxperson place the duplicate Credit Slip on the gaming table in view of the CCTV system;

2. Observe the dealer or boxperson place the chips, coins and/or plaques in the clear container; and

3. Transport the container and the original Credit Slip to the chip bank.

(i) Upon receipt of the Credit, the chip bank cashier shall place the Credit on the counter in view of the CCTV system and count the chips, coins and/or plaques in the presence of the security department member. If no discrepancy exists, the chip bank cashier shall:

1. Place the chips, coins and/or plaques into the chip bank inventory;

2. Sign and retain the triplicate if computer prepared or, the Request if manually prepared; and

3. Sign the original Credit Slip for return to the gaming table.

(j) Upon receipt of the completed original Credit Slip, the dealer or boxperson shall, in the presence of the casino supervisor, verify that the original agrees with the duplicate. The dealer or boxperson shall place the duplicate in the drop box and forward the original to the casino clerk or casino supervisor. The casino clerk or casino supervisor shall either:

1. If the Credit Slip was computer prepared, confirm in the computer that the Credit transaction has been completed which shall cause an acknowledgement to be printed automatically at the chip bank. The original Credit Slip shall be maintained by the casino clerk; or

2. If the acknowledgement does not print or the Credit Slip was manually prepared, the original Credit Slip shall be transported to the chip bank and serve as the acknowledgement.

(k) If a discrepancy exists between the chips, coins, and/or plaques pursuant to the comparison in (i) above (for example, an incorrect denomination or total amount), a cage supervisor shall notify the surveillance department and either:

1. Advise a casino supervisor that the Credit is being returned to the table and return the Credit to the security department member who shall transport the Credit to the table for correction. Once corrected, the Credit shall be processed in accordance with this section; or

2. Accept the Credit, record the reason for the discrepancy on the Credit Slip, and prepare a two-part error notification form, a copy of which shall be forwarded to the Division's in-house office and shall include, at a minimum:
i. The date and time;

ii. The game and table number;

iii. A description of the error (for example, acceptance at an incorrect table or an incorrect denomination or total amount); and

iv. The signature of the cage supervisor.

(l) If a discrepancy on the Credit is detected subsequent to the completion of the transaction, a cage or casino supervisor shall notify the surveillance department member who shall investigate the discrepancy. If the supervisor and surveillance department member agree that an error occurred in processing the transaction, the cage supervisor shall prepare the error notification form in accordance with (k) above.

(m) The form at (k) above shall be distributed as follows:

1. The original shall be transported to the gaming table and placed in the drop box or forwarded to the casino accounting department if the discrepancy is detected subsequent to the end of gaming day;

2. The duplicate shall be maintained and accounted for by the chip bank cashier; and

3. A copy shall be provided to the on-site Division office.

(n) A casino accounting department employee with no incompatible functions shall obtain all Credit Slips and, as applicable, Requests and error notification forms, from the chip bank cashiers and casino clerks on a daily basis for reconciliation to stored data and the forms removed from the table game drop boxes.
