26 JANUARY NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE

cards each, consisting of ace, king, queen, jack, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, and two.

19.2 The backs of all cards in the deck(s) used in a game shall be identical, shall bear the casino logo and shall be designed so as to diminish as far as possible the ability of any person to place concealed markings thereon. No back of any card shall contain any marking, symbol or design that will enable a person to know the identity of any element printed on the face of the card or that will in any way differentiate the back of that card from that of any other card used in the game (other than cutting cards).

19.3 Cutting cards used in games shall be coloured plastic or plastic-coated cards similar in size to the playing cards.

19.4 Subject to these rules, in any game in which playing cards are used such cards shall at all times be dealt from gaming equipment specifically designed and approved by the Authority for that purpose, being either:

(a) a dealing shoe; or

(b) an automatic shuffler from which cards can be dealt.

An automatic shuffler shall be designed, constructed and operated so that, when activated, the cards being shuffled within it, whether within separate decks or otherwise, are randomly and thoroughly intermixed.

20.0 Private Tables

20.1 The casino operator may from time to time reserve a table or a number of tables for:

(a) the private use of an individual or group of individuals; or

(b) the purposes of a specific promotion, tournament or other event.

20.2 Where a table is reserved for private use or purposes, a sign designating it as a private table shall be displayed on it, and the table shall not be open for gaming by the general public.
