6.4 Orally declared wagers shall be accepted only when accompanied by chips and if the dealer has enough time to place the wager on the layout before “No more bets” is called.

6.5 The casino operator may permit up to 3 players to wager on any 1 box, except that where there is a player/banker, the player/banker’s wager shall be the only wager allowed on the player/banker’s box.

6.6 The casino operator may direct that the total of all players’ wagers on any 1 box shall not exceed the table maximum, or that the total of the wagers of any particular player or players on any 1 box shall not exceed the permitted maximum. Where the casino operator issues such a direction a sign stating the box maximum and/or player maximum, as the case may be, shall be displayed at the gaming table.

6.7 Subject to these rules, a player may wager on more than 1 box.

6.8 Where a player/banker is holding the bank other than as a co-banker, no maximum wager limit shall apply to either the player/banker or the other players, but the stated table minimum will apply.

6.9 Except as permitted by these rules, once the dealer has called “No more bets” no player shall:

(a) make any wager; or

(b) handle, alter or remove any wager until all winning wagers in that box have been paid by the dealer,

and no dealer or other person shall permit a player to do so.

6.10 No player shall handle, alter or withdraw a losing wager.

6.11 Winning wagers made pursuant to rule 6.1 shall be paid at odds of 1 to 1, less a commission of 5% on the amount won, which shall be payable to the house and shall be collected from the player at the time the winnings are paid.

6.12 If it would not be possible to pay a wager against the bank exactly in chips at odds of 1 to 1, less commission, were that wager to win, the wager shall not be accepted.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
