Receipt of Gaming Chips or Tokens from Manufacturer

PURPOSE: This rule establishes the process for receipt of gaming chips and tokens from manufacturers. (1) When chips or tokens are received from the manufacturer, they shall be opened and checked by at least two (2) employees from different departments of the holder of a Class B license. Any deviation between the invoice accompanying the chips or tokens and the actual chips or tokens received or any defects found in the chips or tokens shall be reported promptly to the commission. An agent of the commission will be notified both by the supplier and the casino manager of the time of delivery of any chips or tokens to the holder of a Class B license. (2) After checking the chips or tokens received, the holder of a Class B license shall cause to be reported in a chip and token inventory ledger—the denomination of the chips or tokens received, the number of each denomination of chip or token received, the number and description of all nonvalue chips received, and the date of receipt. The individuals who check the chips or tokens shall sign the chip and token inventory ledger or the supporting documentation. (3) If any of the chips received are to be held in reserve and not utilized they shall be stored in a separate locked compartment either in the vault, main bank, or in a cashier’s cage and shall be recorded in the chip and token inventory ledger as reserve chips. (4) Any chips received that are part of the secondary set of chips of the excursion gambling boat shall be recorded in the chip and token inventory ledger as such and shall be stored in a locked compartment in the vault, main bank, or in a cashier’s cage separate from the reserve chips.
