All other surfaces of a gaming plaque shall be known collectively as the "edge."

(b) No gaming plaque shall be issued by a casino licensee or utilized in a casino or casino simulcasting facility unless and until:

1. The design specifications of the proposed gaming plaque are, prior to the manufacture of the gaming plaque, submitted to and approved by the Division, which submission shall include a detailed schematic depicting the actual size and, as appropriate, location of the following:
i. Each face;

ii. The edge; and

(c) Each face of a square gaming plaque shall measure no smaller than nine square inches. Each face of a rectangular or elliptical gaming plaque shall measure no smaller than three inches in length by two inches in width. In the case of an elliptical gaming plaque, the length and width of the plaque shall be measured at its axes.

(d) Each gaming plaque issued by a casino licensee shall be designed and manufactured with sufficient graphics or other security measures so as to prevent, to the greatest extent possible, the counterfeiting of such gaming plaque.

Each gaming plaque of a specific denomination utilized by a casino licensee shall be in a shape and of a size, as approved by the Division, which is identical to the shape and size of all other gaming plaques of that denomination issued by that casino licensee. The size and shape of each denomination of gaming plaque issued by a casino licensee shall be readily distinguishable from the size and shape of every other denomination of gaming plaque issued by that casino licensee.

(f) Each gaming plaque issued by a casino licensee shall contain certain identifying characteristics which shall appear at least once on each face of the gaming plaque and shall be applied in a manner which ensures that each such characteristic shall be clearly visible and remain a permanent part of the gaming plaque. These characteristics shall, at a minimum, include:

1. The denomination of the gaming plaque, expressed in numbers of no less than three-eighths inch in height;

2. The name, trade name, or other approved identification of the casino licensee issuing the gaming plaque, which shall be applied in such a manner so as to be visible to surveillance employees using the closed circuit television system; and

3. A unique serial number.
