N.J. Admin. Code § 13:69E-1.5A - Promotional gaming chips for direct bet wagers
(a) A promotional gaming chip shall have no
cash value and may be utilized by a casino licensee in lieu of a direct bet
coupon as authorized pursuant to
N.J.A.C.
13:69D-1.18.
(b) Promotional gaming chips shall have a
uniform diameter of one and 57/64 inches (48mm).
(c) Each denomination of promotional gaming
chip issued by a casino licensee shall contain a predominant color unique to
that denomination to be known as the "primary color." A "secondary color" on a
promotional gaming chip is any color, other than that chip's primary color,
that the Division authorizes a casino licensee to include on the face of the
chip as a contrast to the chip's primary color, except that no primary color
shall be used as a secondary color on a promotional gaming chip of another
denomination where such use is reasonably likely to cause confusion as to the
chip's denomination.
(d)
Promotional gaming chips are not required to have an edge design. If
promotional gaming chips do not have an edge design, only one chip may be
wagered on any given hand or round of play.
(e) Each promotional gaming chip manufacturer
shall submit sample color disks to the Division that identify all primary and
secondary colors to be used for the manufacture of promotional gaming chips for
casino licensees in Atlantic City. Once a promotional gaming chip manufacturer
has received approval for a primary or secondary color, those colors shall be
consistently manufactured in accordance with the approved samples. In order for
a primary color to be approved for use, it must visually appear, when viewed
either in daylight or under incandescent light, to comply with the color
tolerances or such other similar color tolerances as approved by the
Division.
(f) Each promotional
gaming 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 promotional gaming chip and are applied in a manner that ensures that each
such characteristic shall be clearly visible and remain a permanent part of the
promotional gaming chip. These characteristics shall, at a minimum, include:
1. The denomination of the promotional gaming
chip, expressed in numbers;
2. The
name, trade name, or other approved identification of the casino licensee
issuing the promotional gaming chip, which shall be applied in such a manner so
as to be visible to surveillance employees using the closed-circuit television
system;
3. The words "Promotional"
or "No Cash Value." If a casino uses tournament chips and the tournament chips
have "No Cash Value" printed thereon, the promotional gaming chips must contain
the word "Promotional";
4. At least
one anti-counterfeiting measure in addition to those items specifically
required to appear on the face of a promotional gaming chip pursuant to this
section;
5. The words "Atlantic
City" or "New Jersey," if the casino licensee has casino properties in other
gaming jurisdictions;
6. The
primary color as to be distinguished from the value and non-value chips being
used at gaming tables in the casino or casino simulcasting facility;
and
7. A design, pattern, or other
feature that a natural person with adequate training could readily use to
identify, when viewed through the closed circuit television system of the
casino licensee, the denomination of the particular promotional gaming chip
when placed on a gaming table; provided, however, that the design, pattern, or
feature created by the primary and secondary colors required at (c) above shall
be sufficient by itself to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph if
approved for that purpose by the Division. It shall be permissible for
promotional gaming chips to have edge markings sufficient for surveillance
operators to be able to distinguish each denomination of chips.
(g) The promotional gaming chip
shall not be issued by a dealer at a gaming table.
(h) The inventory of promotional gaming chips
shall be maintained by the casino cage in accordance with the procedures for
chip storage set forth at
N.J.A.C.
13:69D-1.22.
