At that time, a marker denoting the value of a stack of 20 chips of that color shall be placed in the slot or receptacle.

(h) Each facility manager shall have the discretion to permit, limit, or prohibit the use of value chips in gaming at roulette. Each facility manager shall be responsible for keeping an accurate account of the wagers being made at roulette with value chips so that the wagers made by one player are not confused with those made by another player at the table.
