Dealing mistakes

These procedures must be applied for dealing mistakes, unless an organization has an alternative written policy: 1. A card found turned face upwards in a dealing shoe must be burned. 2. If no cards are dealt to a player's betting space containing a wager, the betting space is inactive for the round. If only one card is dealt to a player's betting space, at the player's option, a dealer shall deal a second card to the player after all other players have received a second card. Otherwise, a player's betting space is inactive and the card dealt must be burned. 3. If a dealer deals a card to an inactive betting space and continues dealing cards to active betting spaces, the dealer shall burn the card dealt to the inactive betting space. 4. If a dealer misses dealing the dealer's first or second card, the dealer shall continue dealing the first two cards to each player, and then deal the proper number of cards to the dealer. 5. If a dealer does not ask a player if the player desires to place an insurance wager and the hand is played, the hand is valid. 6. If a dealer drops a player's or dealer's card off a table, the dealer shall burn the card. 7. A card drawn from a dealing shoe in error without the card's face being exposed to any player must be used as if it were the next card from the shoe. 8. After the first two cards are dealt to each player and a card is drawn from a dealing shoe in error with the card's face exposed to any player, the card must be burned. 9. If an insufficient number of cards remains in a dealing shoe to complete a round of play, all of the cards in a discard holder must be shuffled and cut, the first card must be burned, and a dealer shall complete the round of play. 10. If a dealer has a count of at least seventeen and draws a hit card, the card must be burned. 11. If a dealer permits a player to wager an unlawful amount and the player's hand wins, the dealer shall return the improper portion of the wager to the player. A dealer shall value a player's hand at the proper wager for the payoff. However, if a dealer permits a player to wager fifty cents and is dealt a card, the dealer shall return the fifty cents to the player and burn the card. 12. If a dealer or player suspects that the dealer miscounted the dealer's hand after a round of play, the dealer shall play back the cards. 13. If a dealer does not burn a card at the beginning of dealing a shoe, the dealer shall burn the card after the first complete round of play. 14. If a dealer's facedown card is exposed to any player before the decisions of all the players are carried out, the dealer shall burn the card and, after the decisions of all the players have been carried out, draw a new facedown card. 15. If a dealer misses dealing a player a hit card, the dealer shall continue dealing any requested hit cards to all other players and then deal a hit card to the player who was missed.
