After the cards have been shuffled, the dealer must offer the stack of cards with the backs facing away to the cutting player to be cut. The cutting player may cut the cards by placing the cutting card in the stack at least five cards from either end. Once the cutting card has been inserted by the player, the dealer must take all cards in front of the cutting card and place them on the back of the stack after which the dealer must insert the cutting card in a position between the center and the back of the stack. If a shoe is used, the stack of cards must then be inserted into the dealing shoe for the beginning of play; otherwise, the cards may be dealt from the hand.
