(2) Must have the name of the riverboat licensee permanently impressed, engraved, imprinted, or inlaid in the center of the chip. (3) Must contain a design, insert, or symbol that differentiates it from the nonvalue chips being used at other roulette tables on the riverboat. (4) Must have the word "Roulette" impressed, imprinted, inlaid, or hot-stamped on the nonvalue chip. (5) Must be designed, manufactured, and constructed in a manner not conducive to the counterfeiting of nonvalue chips.

(f) Nonvalue chips shall be presented for redemption only at the roulette table from which the nonvalue chips were issued. The riverboat licensee shall redeem nonvalue chips by exchanging the nonvalue chips for an equivalent amount of value chips. (g) The riverboat licensee may permit, prohibit, or limit the use of value chips for gaming at a roulette table. (h) The riverboat licensee has the responsibility for keeping an accurate account of the wagers that are made by patrons at each roulette table.
