Section 5322.3 - Reserve set of chips and removal from active use

(a) Unless otherwise authorized in writing by the commission, for each set of value chips that a gaming facility elects to issue in a denomination of $25, $100 or $500, such gaming facility shall also have at least one approved reserve set of chips that may be used as a backup for the set of chips in active use. Each reserve set of value chips maintained for use by the gaming facility shall have different secondary colors than the primary set of value chips.

(b) A gaming facility shall have a reserve non-value chip for each color used in the gaming facility, with a design insert or symbol different from those non-value chips comprising the primary set.

(c) A gaming facility shall remove the primary set of chips in use from active play whenever it is believed the gaming facility is taking on counterfeit chips or whenever any other impropriety or defect in the use of such set of chips makes removal of the chips from active use necessary or whenever the commission so directs in writing. An approved reserve set of value chips and a reserve set of non-value chips shall be placed into active play whenever the primary set is removed.

(d) Whenever the chips in active use are removed from play, the gaming facility immediately shall notify on site commission staff of such fact and the reasons for such occurrence.

(e) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of this section, a gaming facility shall obtain written commission approval to commingle two or more different samples within a single set of value chips from the same or different manufacturers for a particular denomination of value chip with a denomination of $100 or less, provided that each sample of a particular denomination shall have the same secondary color and edge design. Any approved sample of a particular denomination of value chip within a single set of chips may be placed in or removed from active use by the gaming facility at any time.

(f) Each set of chips that the commission approves for use by a gaming facility shall receive a unique and permanent alphabetical designation. This designation shall be assigned by such gaming facility during the design schematic approval process and shall be used for all inventory procedures. If a gaming facility elects to commingle chips pursuant to subdivision (e) of this section, in addition to the assigned alphabetical designation for that set of chips, each different sample within the set shall also be assigned an accompanying unique numeric designation.
