N.J. Admin. Code § 13:69E-1.4 - Non-value gaming chips for roulette and pokette

(a) Each gaming chip which does not contain a denomination on either face thereof shall be known as a "non-value" chip.

(b) Each non-value chip utilized in a casino or casino simulcasting facility shall be issued for the purpose of gaming at roulette and pokette.

(c) Each non-value chip issued by a casino licensee shall contain certain identifying characteristics that may appear in any location at least once on each face of the gaming chip 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 chip. The characteristics required by (c)1 and 2 below shall be applied in such a manner so as to be visible to surveillance employees using the closed circuit television system. The identifying characteristics of a non-value chip, at a minimum, shall include:

1. The name, trade name, or other identification of the casino licensee issuing the non-value chip;

2. A design, insert or symbol that will permit a set of non-value chips being used at a particular gaming table to be distinguished from the non-value chips being used at every other gaming table in the casino or casino simulcasting facility;

3. The word "Roulette" or "Pokette," as applicable; and

4. Such color and/or design combinations as the Division may approve so as to readily distinguish the non-value chips of each player at a particular gaming table from:

i. The non-value chips of every other player at the same gaming table; and

ii. The value chips issued by any casino licensee.

(d) Each non-value chip issued by a casino licensee shall contain an identifying characteristic, to be known as an "edge spot," which shall:

1. Be applied in a manner which ensures that the edge spot shall:

i. Be clearly visible on the edge and, to the extent required by the Division on each face of the non-value chip; and

ii. Remain a permanent part of the non-value chip;

2. Be created by using the colors approved for the face of the particular non-value chip pursuant to (c)4 above in combination with one or more other colors that provide a contrast with the color on the face of the chip and that enable it to be distinguished from the non-value chips issued by any other casino licensee; and

3. Include a design, pattern or other feature approved by the Division that a natural person with adequate training could readily use to identify, when viewing the non-value chip through the closed circuit television system of the casino licensee, the player to whom the non-value chip has been assigned when the non-value chip is placed in a stack of gaming chips or in any other location where only the edge of the non-value chip is visible; provided, however, that the design, pattern or feature created by the colors required by (d)2 above shall be sufficient by itself to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph if approved for that purpose by the Division.

(e) Each casino licensee shall have a reserve non-value chip for each color utilized in the casino or casino simulcasting facility with a design insert or symbol different from those non-value chips comprising the primary set.
