Casino operators
must submit a detailed schematic and production sample of proposed cards or
dice to the executive director for approval before placing them into
play.

The detailed schematic must show all sides of the cards
or dice and the design and wording to be contained on the cards or
dice.
(C)
Unless otherwise approved by the executive director,
each die used in casino gaming must meet the following requirements:
(1)
Be formed in the
shape of a cube with a size no smaller than .750 inch on each side and not any
larger than .775 inch on each side;
(2)
Be transparent
and made exclusively of cellulose except for the spots, name, or trade name of
the casino facility and serial numbers or letters contained on the
die;
(3)
Have the surface of each of its sides flat and the
spots contained in each side flush with the area surrounding
them;
(4)
Have all edges and corners square and forming ninety
degree angles;
(5)
Have the texture and finish of each side exactly
identical to the texture and finish of all other sides;
(6)
Have its weight
equally distributed throughout the cube, with no side of the cube heavier or
lighter than any other side of the cube;
(7)
Have its six
sides bearing white circular spots from one to six respectively, with the
diameter of each spot equal to the diameter of every other spot on the
die;
(8)
Have spots placed on the die by drilling into the
surface of the cube and filling the drilled-out portion with a compound that is
equal in weight to the weight of the cellulose drilled out and that forms a
permanent bond with the cellulose cube. Each spot must extend into the cube
exactly the same distance as every other spot extends into the cube to an
accuracy tolerance of .0004 inch. The spots must be arranged as follows:
(a)
The side
containing one spot is directly opposite the side containing six
spots;

The side containing two spots is directly opposite the
side containing five spots; and

The side
containing three spots is directly opposite the side containing four
spots.

Unless otherwise approved by the executive director, all cards used for table
games must meet all of the following requirements:

standard decks of fifty-two cards, with each card identical in size and shape
to every other card in the deck;

deck must be composed of four suits: diamonds, spades, clubs, and
hearts;
(3)
Each suit must consist of thirteen cards: "ace,"
"king," "queen," "jack," "10," "9," "8," "7," "6," "5," "4," "3," and "2." The
face of the "ace," "king," "queen," "jack," and ten value cards may contain an
additional marking that will permit a dealer, before exposing the dealer's hole
card at the game of blackjack, to determine the value of that hole
card;
(4)
The backs of all cards in the deck must be identical
and no card may contain any marking, symbol, or design that will enable a
person to know the identity of any element printed on the face of the card or
that will in any way differentiate the back of that card from any other card in
the deck;
(5)
The backs of all cards in the deck must be designed so
as to diminish as far as possible the ability of any person to place concealed
markings on the backs;
(6)

where the cards are to be used; and
(7)

gaming-related vendor whose quality controls are sufficient to ensure the
integrity of casino gaming.

a casino operator in any poker room game must be visually distinguishable from
the cards used by that casino operator to play any other table games.
