When closing tables, house-banked card game licensees must follow these steps:

(1) The floor supervisor and the dealer assigned to the gambling table must count the gambling chips and coins. The surveillance department must monitor and record the entire count and closure process.

(2) The floor supervisor assigned to the gambling table must record the chips and coins counted on a table inventory slip.

(3) Licensees must use consecutively prenumbered three-part forms for table inventory slips. Table inventory slips must be in the format we require and have three parts:

(a) The original (the closer); and

(b) The duplicate (the opener); and

(c) The triplicate (which is transported by security to accounting).

(4) The floor supervisor and the dealer assigned to the gambling table must sign the table inventory slip, confirming the information recorded at the time of closing.

(5) After both the dealer and floor supervisor have signed the closer, the dealer must deposit the closer in the drop box attached to the table. The dealer must place the opener face up in the chip tray, arranged so that it is clearly visible. Then the floor supervisor must lock the clear chip tray cover. The chip trays must be under recorded surveillance at all times.

(6) A security department employee must take the triplicate of the table inventory slip to the accounting department.

(7) If an error is made on the closer, the preparer must write "void" on all copies of the form and forward them to the accounting department.

(8) If the locked chip trays are transported to the cashier's cage at the end of each gambling day, a cage cashier must determine that all locked chip trays have been returned to the cage and are adequately secured.
