(d) Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:69F-34.4, supreme pai gow may be played with a container, to be known as a "pai gow shaker," which shall be used to shake three dice before each hand of supreme pai gow is dealt in order to determine the starting position for the dealing or delivery of the cards. The pai gow shaker shall be designed and constructed to contain any feature the Division may require to maintain the integrity of the game and shall, at a minimum, adhere to the following specifications:

1. The pai gow shaker shall be capable of housing three dice and shall be designed so as to prevent the dice from being seen while the dealer is shaking it; and

(e) As an alternative to using the shaker and dice described in (d) above, a casino licensee may determine the starting position for the dealing or delivery of the cards in supreme pai gow by utilizing a computerized random number generator that automatically selects and displays a number from 1 through 7 inclusive. Any computerized random number generator proposed for use by a casino licensee shall be approved by the Division.
