As the remaining stacks are dispensed to the dealer by the automated dealing shoe, the dealer shall, moving clockwise around the table, deliver a stack face down to each of the other players who has placed an Ante Wager and Blind Wager.(c) After each stack of five cards has been dispensed and delivered in accordance with this section, the dealer shall dispense to himself five cards, remove the remaining cards from the automated dealing shoe and follow the procedures in § 687a.9(a)(2) (relating to procedure for dealing the cards from the hand) and place one card in the area on the layout described in § 687a.2(b)(4) (relating to DJ Wild Stud Poker Table; physical characteristics) if a player has placed a Progressive Bonus wager.(d) If an automated card shuffling device, which counts the number of cards in the deck after the completion of each shuffle and indicates whether 53 cards are present, is not being used, the dealer shall count the stub at least once every 5 rounds of play to determine if the correct number of cards are still present in the deck. The dealer shall determine the number of cards in the stub by counting the cards face down on the layout.(e) If the count of the stub indicates that 53 cards are in the deck, the dealer shall place the stub in the discard rack without exposing the cards.(f) If the count of the stub indicates that the number of cards in the deck is incorrect, the dealer shall determine if the cards were misdealt. If the cards were misdealt but 53 cards remain in the deck, all hands shall be void and all wagers shall be returned to the players. If the cards were not misdealt, all hands shall be void, all wagers shall be returned to the players and the entire deck of cards shall be removed from the table. This section cited in 58 Pa.
