Rule 822.
(1) All
of the following specifications apply to value chips:
(a) A chip issued by a casino licensee shall
be round in shape and have the name of the casino and the specific value of the
chip clearly and permanently impressed, engraved, or imprinted on the chip,
except that a casino licensee may issue gaming chips without a value impressed,
engraved, or imprinted on the chip for roulette. A chip that has a value
contained on the chip shall be known as a "value chip" and a chip that does not
have a value contained on the chip shall be known as a "nonvalue
chip."
(b) A value chip may be
issued by the casino licensee in denominations of 25 cents, 50 cents, $1.00,
$2.50, $5.00, $20.00, $25.00, $100.00, $500.00, $1,000.00, $5,000.00, and
$25,000.00. The casino licensee shall have discretion to determine the
denominations to be utilized in its casino and the amount of each denomination
for the conduct of casino gaming operations.
(c) Each denomination of value chip shall
have a primary color different from every other denomination of value chip.
Value chips shall fall within the colors set forth in this subdivision when the
chips are viewed both in daylight and under incandescent light. In conjunction
with the primary colors, each casino licensee shall utilize contrasting
secondary colors for the edge spots on each denomination of value chip. Unless
otherwise approved by the executive director, a casino licensee shall not use a
secondary color on a specific denomination of chip identical to the secondary
color used by another casino licensee on the same denomination of the value
chip. The primary color that a casino licensee shall utilize for each
denomination of value chip is as follows:
(i)
25 cents "Peach."
(ii) 50 cents
"Mustard yellow."
(iii) $1.00
"White."
(iv) $2.50
"Pink."
(v) $5.00 "Red."
(vi) $20.00 "Yellow."
(vii) $25.00 "Green."
(viii) $100.00 "Black."
(ix) $500.00 "Purple."
(x) $1,000.00 "Fire orange."
(xi) $5,000.00 "Gray."
(xii) $ 25,000.00 "Watermelon."
(d) Each denomination of value
chip utilized by a casino licensee shall, unless otherwise authorized by the
board, be in compliance with all of the following specifications:
(i) Have a center portion containing the
value of the chip and the casino issuing it of a different shape from each
other denomination.
(ii) Be
designed so that the specific denomination of the chip can be determined on
closed circuit black and white television when placed in a stack of chips of
other denominations.
(iii) Be
designed, manufactured, and constructed so as to prevent, to the greatest
extent possible, the counterfeiting of the chips or each chip shall have an
embedded microchip identifying the issue and denomination of the
chip.
(e) The board may
approve a value chip in denominations that deviate from the requirements of
this rule if deviation is specifically identified by the casino licensee and if
the deviation does not affect the control, security, or integrity of the chips
or the operation of the games.
(2) All of the following provisions apply to
nonvalue chips:
(a) Each nonvalue chip
utilized by a casino shall be issued solely for the purpose of gaming at
roulette. Nonvalue chips at each roulette table shall be in compliance with all
of the following requirements:
(i) Have the
name of the casino issuing it impressed, engraved, or imprinted into its
center.
(ii) Contain a design,
insert, or symbol differentiating it from the nonvalue chips being used at
every other roulette table in the casino.
(iii) Have the word "roulette" impressed on
it.
(iv) Be designed, manufactured,
and constructed so as to prevent, to the greatest extent possible, the
counterfeiting of the chips.
(b) Nonvalue chips issued at a roulette table
shall only be used for gaming at that table and shall not be used for gaming at
any other table in the casino.
A casino licensee or its employees shall not allow a casino patron to remove nonvalue chips permanently from the table from which the chips were issued.
(c) An
individual at a roulette table shall not be issued or permitted to wager with
nonvalue chips that are identical in color and design to value chips or to
nonvalue chips being used by another individual at the same table. When a
patron purchases nonvalue chips, a nonvalue chip of the same color shall be
placed in a slot or receptacle attached to the outer rim of the roulette wheel.
At that time, a marker button denoting the value of a stack of 20 chips of that
color shall be placed in the slot or receptacle.
(d) Nonvalue chips shall only be presented
for redemption at the table from which they were issued and shall not be
redeemed or exchanged at any other location in the casino gaming operation.
When presented for redemption, the dealer at the table shall exchange the chips
for an equivalent amount of value chips, which may then be used by the patron
in gaming or redeemed in the manner provided for value chips.
(e) A casino licensee shall have the
discretion to permit, limit, or prohibit the use of value chips in gaming in
roulette. However, a casino licensee must keep an accurate account of the
wagers being made at roulette with value chips so that the wagers made by one
player are not confused with wagers made by another player at the
table.
