20.1 Each agent shall place on file with the agency a schedule setting forth the specific times at which the drop boxes will be brought to or removed from the table games. Any changes to the schedule must first be approved by the agency. No drop box shall be brought to or removed from any table game at other than the time specified in such schedule except with the approval of a representative of the agency. Such approval shall be documented in a manner approved by the agency.

20.2 The table game drop shall be performed by a minimum of two (2) persons, one of which shall be a representative of the security department and the other a table games supervisor.

20.3 Table game drop shall be performed at a minimum, at least once each gaming day. However, the agency may require that table game boxes be dropped more frequently.

20.4 All locked table game drop boxes shall be removed, and a separate empty drop box shall be placed on each table in a continuous process. Upon removal from the tables, table game drop boxes shall be transported in a locked trolley directly to the count room and locked in a secure manner until the count takes place.

20.5 When not in use, empty table game drop boxes shall be stored in a locked trolley in the count room or in a secure area as approved by the agency. The involvement of at least two persons from independent departments shall be required to access stored empty table game drop boxes.

20.6 Each table game drop box shall have as a minimum:

20.6.1 A number corresponding to a permanent number on the gaming table and marked to indicate game and table number, except that emergency drop boxes may be maintained without such number or marking provided the word "emergency" is permanently imprinted or impressed thereon and, when put into use, is temporarily marked with the number of the gaming table and identification of the game and day;

20.6.2 A slot opening through which currency, coins, forms, records, and documents can be inserted into the drop box which shall automatically lock when the drop box is removed from the table;

20.6.3 Two different keys securing the contents of the drop box (content keys) and a separate key to release the drop box from the table (release key). Procedures for the issuance, control and security over the keys shall be as authorized by the agency, in compliance with the following minimum requirements:

20.6.3.1 Only the persons authorized to remove table game drop boxes from the tables shall be allowed access to the table game drop box release key; however, the count team members may have access to the release keys during the soft count in order to reset the table game drop boxes.
