Where the game is conducted in accordance with Dealing Style B, section 11 shall apply upon the completion of a shoe of cards.

7.2 Where it is proposed that pre-shuffled decks of cards be introduced into the game any of the players may, before the first game in which the cards are used:

(a) on request, visually inspect the decks of pre-shuffled cards, or any of them, before their use; and

(b) require that any decks of cards issued as pre-shuffled be inspected and mixed in accordance with section 6, shuffled by the dealer, and cut in accordance with this section.

7.3 After the cards have been shuffled (or, in the case of pre-shuffled cards, been accepted as such and riffle shuffled) they shall be cut.

7.4 The person designated in rule 7.3 shall cut the cards by inserting the cutting card or 1 of the cutting cards, as the case may be, into the stack at least 1 deck in from either end. The dealer shall then take all of the cards in front of the cutting card and place them at the back of the stack and then insert the cutting card into the stack at least 20 cards in from the back of the stack. If 2 cutting cards are being used the second shall be placed at the back of the stack.

7.5 The stack of cards shall then be placed in the card shoe for the commencement of play, following which the dealer shall burn the cards, that is:

(a) remove the first card from the shoe face up;

(b) draw, face down, additional cards equal in number to the face value of the first card drawn; and

(c) place the first and additional cards drawn in the discard container.

7.6 For the purposes of rule 7.5 a 10, jack, queen and king shall have a face value of 10 and an ace a face value of 1.
