At the close of a shift or at the conclusion of a day's gaming, a blackjack or house banked poker table's chip, token, and coin inventory must be counted and the total of each denomination of chips, tokens, and coins must be recorded together with their grand total on a table inventory form. A final fill or credit may be made to restore the table bank to its beginning total. This may be accomplished by using a fill or credit slip when chips or tokens are added or removed.
If final fills or credits are not made, beginning and ending inventories must be recorded on a master game sheet for shift-win calculation purposes.
At the end of a shift or at the conclusion of the final shift of the gaming day, all locked drop boxes must be removed from the blackjack, poker and house banked poker tables by two persons who must transport the drop boxes directly to the count room or other secure area for counting.
If not counted immediately, the drop boxes must be locked securely until the count takes place.
