(d) The first vertical column in Table 2 labeled "Point Count of Banker's Hand" shall refer to the point count of the "Banker's Hand" after the first two cards have been dealt to it.(e) The first horizontal column at the top of Table 2 labeled "Third Card Drawn by Player's Hand" shall refer to the value of the third card drawn by the "Player's Hand" as distinguished from the point count of the "Player's Hand."(f) The letter "D" used in Table 2 shall mean that the "Banker's Hand" must draw a third card and the letter "S" used in Table 2 shall mean that the "Banker's Hand" must stay (that is, not draw a third card).(g) The method of using Table 2 shall be to find the point count of the "Banker's Hand" in the first vertical column and trace that horizontally across the table until it intersects the third card drawn by the "Player's Hand." The box at which such intersection takes place will show whether the "Banker's Hand" shall draw a third card or stay. For example, if the point count of the "Banker's Hand" after two cards is 5 and the value of the third card drawn by the "Player's Hand" is 4, the table shows that the "Banker's Hand" shall draw a third card.
