for dealing the cards from a manual dealing shoe; procedures for dealing the

adjacent betting areas, the cards dealt to each betting area shall be played
separately. If the two wagers are not equal, the player shall rank and set the
hand with the larger wager before ranking and setting the other hand. If the
amounts wagered are equal, each hand shall be played separately in a
counterclockwise rotation with the first hand being ranked and set before the
player proceeds to rank and set the second hand. Once a hand has been ranked,
set and placed face down on the layout, the hands may not be changed.
