(1) "Dealer" means a licensed card room employee who conducts card games, deals cards, collects or pays off players' bets, or collects fees. Card game licensees:
(a) May provide a dealer in any card game; and
(b) Must have a dealer for all house-banked card games, card games operated with a player-supported jackpot, or card games authorized to charge per-hand fees or take a rake.
(2) Dealers must not play in the games while dealing and must have no financial interest in the outcome of the games, except that we allow tip wagers.
