dealer calling the game. This player shall be identified by the indicator puck marked “Banker” which shall be placed on the player’s wagering area.

8.11 The player who accepts the Bank shall act as the Banker only to expose the total of the Banker’s Hand. He or she may do so personally, or may nominate another seated player at the table to do so.

8.12 The dealer shall deal the initial four cards face down.

8.13 The cards drawn for the Player’s Hand shall then be offered to the seated player with the highest wager on the Player’s Hand. In the event that two or more seated players have made a wager on the Player’s Hand of an amount which constitutes the highest wager, the dealer shall first offer the cards to that person with the highest wager who occupies the numbered seat closest to the shoe in a counter-clockwise direction. If that person refuses to accept the cards they shall be passed by the dealer counter-clockwise to the next person with the highest equal wager, and so on. If no person who has placed the highest or highest equal wager wishes to accept the cards, rule 8.25 shall apply.

8.14 The indicator puck marked “Player” shall be placed on the wagering area of the person designated under rule 8.13 as the Player. That person may choose to handle the cards personally, or may nominate another seated player at the table to do so.

8.15 No person may act as Banker and Player at the same time.

8.16 When the initial two cards drawn for the Player’s Hand are passed to the player designated to receive them, that player may pick up the cards but must ensure that the cards remain continually in full view of everyone participating in the game. The cards must not be removed from the table, nor hidden from the view of any of the other participants, at any time.

8.17 Having checked the hand the designated player shall as quickly as possible turn the cards face up on the layout.

8.18 The dealer shall then announce the point count of the Player’s Hand and bring the cards into their designated position on the layout, as described in rule 8.5.

8.19 The dealer shall then pass the cards drawn for the Banker’s Hand to the player acting as Banker.

8.20 Rules 8.16 to 8.18 inclusive shall apply to the player acting as Banker as if he/she were the person receiving the Player’s Hand’s cards, and the Banker’s Hand were the Player’s Hand.

8.21 At no time shall the Player’s cards and the Banker’s cards be passed out at the same time. Only one set of cards, either the Players’ Hand or the Banker’s Hand, shall be handled by the players at any one time.
