Section 585.3. Dice; shaker; procedure for completion of each round of play

(a) Props & Hops shall be played with two dice in accordance with this subsection. Dice used in the play of the game shall comply with § 603a.12(a) (relating to dice; physical characteristics) and the receipt and inspection requirements in § 603a.13 (relating to dice; receipt, storage, inspection and removal from use).

(b) Props & Hops shall be played with a dice shaker, approved in accordance with § 601a.10(a) (relating to approval of table game layouts, signage and equipment), which shall be used to shake the two dice to arrive at the winning combinations. The dice shaker shall be designed and constructed to maintain the integrity of the game and must:

(1) Be capable of housing two dice that when not being shaken must be maintained in the shaker. Dice that have been placed in a dice shaker for use in gaming may not remain on a table for more than 24 hours.

(2) Be designed to prevent the dice from being seen while being shaken.

(3) Have the name or logo of the certificate holder imprinted or impressed thereon.

(c) The dice shaker shall be the responsibility of the dealer and may not be left unattended while at the table.

(d) A shaker and two dice shall be presented at the Props & Hops table for gaming. The floorperson, in the presence of the dealer, shall place the dice in the shaker. Prior to the commencement of play at the table and after each round of play, the dealer shall shake the covered shaker.

(e) After all players have placed their wagers, the dealer shall announce ‘‘no more bets’’ and offer the covered dice shaker to the player farthest to the dealer’s left. The player shall shake the covered shaker at least three times to cause a random mixture of the dice. Once the player has shaken the dice, the player shall return the covered shaker to the layout. If the player shaking the dice removes the lid, the shaker shall be recovered and shaken again.

(f) The dealer shall then remove the lid and place the uncovered shaker in the designated circle on the table layout. The shaker shall remain uncovered in the designated area until all wagers have been settled. If the dealer uncovers the shaker and a die falls out of the shaker, the dealer shall call a ‘‘no roll’’ and all wagers placed shall be returned to the players.

(g) The dealer shall then announce the numbers on the uppermost or skyward sides of the two dice and place a pointer marker on the corresponding area of the layout. If one die comes to rest on top of the other or if the dice do not land flat on the bottom of the shaker after being tossed, the dealer shall call a ‘‘no roll’’ and all wagers placed shall be returned to the players.

(h) The dealer shall then collect all losing wagers before paying out winning wagers in accordance with § 585.4 (relating to payout odds).

(i) After all losing wagers have been collected and all winning wagers have been paid, the dealer shall cover and shake the shaker.

(j) The same player who shook the dice shall continue to shake the dice during each subsequent round of play until the player shakes a 7. Once the total of the dice is a 7, the dice shaker will be passed to the next player to the left at the next round of play.
