Blackjack table that utilizes between three and eight decks of cards comprised
of 52 cards per deck.
(c) In

table; card reader device; physical characteristics; inspections), the
Blackjack table must have a progressive table game system, in accordance with

certificate holder is offering a progressive payout wager on multiple linked
tables or games in the same licensed facility, the progressive table game

number of progressive wagers accepted by the progressive table game system. The
dealer shall then place the value chips into the table inventory
container.
