Ohio Admin. Code 3772-11-25 - Inspection of cards and dice before use
(A)
Before dice are
used for play, a table games supervisor must inspect each die according to the
following requirements:
(1)
Each die must be tested with a micrometer, balancing
caliper used on a flat surface, and a steel set square to ensure that each die
is compliant with the commissions specifications and that there is no evidence
of tampering or other irregularity. These instruments must be kept in a
compartment at each pit which includes games using dice. The instruments must
be readily available for use by the commission.
(2)
Dice inspections
must occur at a location in the pit area that is observable by
surveillance.
(3)
Dice may not be scribed or marked after the
inspection.
(4)
Following this inspection, the table games supervisor,
in the presence of another table games supervisor, must place the dice in a
container on the table for use in gaming or in a locked, access restricted,
compartment. The dice must not be left unattended while not secured in a locked
compartment.
(B)
Before cards are used for play they must be
distributed to the dealer at each table where they will be used and inspected
by the dealer according to the following requirements:
(1)
Both single deck
packages of cards and pre-shuffled multiple deck packages of cards must be
inspected to ensure there is no evidence of tampering with the
packaging.
(2)
Each single deck of cards and every tenth pre-shuffled
multiple deck package of cards must be opened and inspected by the dealer with
the inspection verified by a table games supervisor. This inspection requires
the dealer to open the cards, verify the correct individual cards are present,
and visually confirm that no evidence of tampering or irregularity is present
on the front or back of each card. The inspected cards must be shuffled at the
table prior to use.
(C)
Dice found to be
unsuitable for use must be removed from play and reported to a commission
gaming agent on duty and surveillance.
