Blackjack table—Physical characteristics

1. A blackjack table, while in play, must have a chip tray, a discard rack, a drop slot and drop box, and a tip box, except that no tip box shall be required if tips are not accepted at the table. The table may have a no-peek device. A blackjack table which uses digital cards or digital representations of cards is not required to have a discard rack. Blackjack tables must have an identifying number, assigned by the retail licensee, on the top surface of the table or a table accessory. This table number must be visible to surveillance personnel and must be able to be captured on surveillance video of table activity.
2. The layout must have specific areas marked in which to place wagers, and may have imprinted on it the name and logo of the establishment. A layout used for an approved variation game may have additional markings which identify the game, the holder of intellectual property rights to the game, the distributor of the game, any special markings needed for play of the game, and any other markings approved by the Director.
3. The following notices shall appear either on the table layout or on table signage clearly visible to every player at the table:

   2. On blackjack tables used for games other than face up blackjack, the following notices shall appear in substantially this form:
      1. “Blackjack pays 3 to 2” (substitute higher odds according to fact); and
      2. “Insurance pays 2 to 1,” (substitute higher odds and restrictions on insurance according to fact).
   3. Minimum and maximum table betting limits, and if applicable, minimum and maximum table betting limits for special circumstances.
