Licensees must have an area for counting money separate from the area where gambling is taking place. Licensees must use the forms and format we prescribe for the count. Licensees must:
(1) Bring all money from the FRE to the counting area; and
(2) Assign three cashiers to count the money. Two cashiers must be in the counting area at all times money is present; and
(3) Have at least two cashiers verify the beginning count and sign the record; and
(4) Restrict access to the counting area to the cashiers and to the runner(s) who transport money or chips to or from those stations; and
(5) Transfer all money and chips to the counting area at the end of the day or event for final tabulation, reconciliation, and verification; and
(6) Have at least three bankers or cashiers verify the final tabulation and reconciliation and sign the verification.
