rack securely attached to the top of the dealer's side of the table. The height

decks that are to be used in the dealing shoe at that table.
(2) Be taller than the height of the total
number of decks being used if the discard rack has a distinct and clearly
visible mark on its side to show the exact height for a stack of cards equal to
the total number of cards in the number of decks to be used in the dealing shoe
