Gaming Rules




29 JANUARY NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 453

12.3 If the dealer exposes 2 or more tiles:

(a) in a player’s hand, the player may declare the hand void, provided he/she does so before viewing the remaining tiles in the hand,

(b) in the player/banker’s hand, the player/banker may declare the hand void, provided he/she does so before viewing the remaining tiles in the hand. If the player/banker chooses to void his/her hand pursuant to this rule the round shall be declared void and the tiles reshuffled.

12.4 If 1 exposed tile is dealt to any hand this shall not constitute a misdeal. The dealer shall turn the tile over and the game shall continue.

12.5 If any tiles are exposed in the house’s hand the hand shall be played.

12.6 If the player/banker exposes any of his/her own tiles the hand shall be played.

12.7 The game supervisor may direct the dealer to reshuffle the tiles if he/she considers it appropriate to do so due to the exposure of tiles or suspected tile tracking.

12.8 If it is discovered that the house’s hand is not set in accordance with the house way, whether the house is the sole banker or there is a co-banker:

(a) the hand may be re-set provided the dealer has not exposed the first player’s hand; otherwise

(b) the hand shall stand.

This rule shall also apply to the hand of a player/banker which has been set by the dealer at the player/banker’s request.

12.9 If:

(a) all of the boxes are in play,

(b) the house is banking (either alone or with a co-banker); and

(c) any of the players is believed to be communicating, in breach of these rules, the values of the tiles held,

the casino operator may, at its discretion, remove a box or player from play.
