    (d) In Table 1, the first vertical column labeled ‘‘Point Count of Banker’s Hand After Two Cards’’ refers to the Point Count of the Banker’s Hand after the first two cards have been dealt to the Banker’s Hand.

    (e) In Table 1, the first horizontal row at the top labeled ‘‘Value of the Third Card Drawn by Player’s Hand’’ refers to the value of the third card drawn by the Player’s Hand, not the Point Count of the Player’s Hand.

    (f) In Table 1, the letter ‘‘D’’ means that the Banker’s Hand shall draw a third card and the letter ‘‘S’’ means that the Banker’s Hand shall stay.

    (g) To use Table 1, first find the Point Count of the Banker’s Hand in the first vertical column and trace that horizontally across the table until it intersects the vertical column that corresponds to the value of the third card drawn by the Player’s Hand. The symbol located where the intersection occurs determines whether the Banker’s Hand shall draw a third card or stay. For example, if the Point Count of the Banker’s Hand after two cards is 5 and the value of the third card drawn by the Player’s Hand is 4, the table shows that the Banker’s Hand shall draw a third card.
