All new card games and changes to existing card games must be approved by the director or director's designee prior to implementation at a card room licensee. The director or the director's designee authorizes each new card game or changes to existing card games on an individual basis. A list of all authorized games and the rules of play are available on the commission website.
(1) Licensees approved to market, sell, rent, or otherwise supply card games to card room licensees must submit, in the format we require, requests for:
(a) Authorizing new card games; and
(b) Changes to existing card games in writing.
(2) The director or the director's designee will notify the licensee in writing if the request is approved or denied. The notification for denial will include reasons for the denial and provide the licensee all information necessary to file a petition to the commission for rule making.
(3) Card room licensees must operate only the card games the director or the director's designee has specifically authorized.
