Section 13:69F-36.3 - Opening of the table for gaming

(a) After receiving the decks of cards at the table, the dealer shall comply with the rules of the Division regarding table openings.

(b) If the decks contain the 10 of any suit, the dealer shall remove these cards from the decks. Such cards shall be destroyed in a manner approved by the Division. Following the inspection of the cards by the dealer and the verification, the cards shall be spread out face up on the table for visual inspection by the first player to arrive at the table. Each deck of cards shall be spread out separately, according to suit and in sequence.

(c) After the first player has been afforded an opportunity to visually inspect the cards, the cards shall be turned face down on the table, mixed thoroughly by a "washing" or "chemmy shuffle" of the cards, and stacked. If during the mixing or the stacking process a card is turned over and exposed to the players, the cards shall be remixed. Once the cards have been stacked, they shall be shuffled in accordance with 13:69F-36.4.
