(a) Each gaming chip which contains a denomination on each face thereof
shall be known as a "value chip."
(b) Each casino licensee shall be authorized to issue and use value chips in
denominations of $.50, $1.00, $2.50, $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $25.00, $100.00,
$500.00, $1,000 and $5,000, and in such quantities as the casino licensee
may deem appropriate to conduct gaming or simulcast wagering in its casino
or casino simulcasting facility.
(c) Each denomination of value chip issued by a casino licensee shall
contain a predominant color unique to that denomination to be known as the
"primary color." A "secondary color" on a value chip is any color, other
than that chip's primary color, that the Commission authorizes a casino
licensee to include on the face or edge of the chip as a contrast to the
chip's primary color, except that no primary color shall be used as a
secondary color on a value chip of another denomination where such use on
the edge is reasonably likely to cause confusion as to the chip's
denomination when the edge alone is visible.
(d) Each gaming chip manufacturer shall submit sample color disks to the
Commission that identify all primary and secondary colors to be used for the
manufacture of gaming chips for casino licensees in Atlantic City. Once a
gaming chip manufacturer has received approval for a primary or secondary
color, those colors shall be consistently manufactured in accordance with
the approved samples. In order for a primary color to be approved for use,
it must visually appear, when viewed either in daylight or under
incandescent light, to fall within the tolerances established in this
subsection, as follows:

(e) Each value chip issued by a casino licensee shall contain certain
identifying characteristics that appear at least once on each face of the
gaming chip and are applied in a manner which ensures that each such
characteristic shall be clearly visible and remain a permanent part of the
gaming chip. These characteristics shall, at a minimum, include:
1. The denomination of the value chip, expressed in numbers;
2. The name, trade name, or other approved identification of the casino
licensee issuing the value chip, which shall be applied in such a manner so
as to be visible to surveillance employees using the closed circuit
television system;
3. The words "Atlantic City" or "New Jersey" if the casino licensee has
casino properties in other gaming jurisdictions; and
4. The primary color of the value chip.
(f) In addition to the characteristics specified in (e) above, each value
chip in a denomination of $25.00 or more shall contain a design or other
identifying characteristic that is unique to the gaming chip manufacturer
that makes the chip. Upon approval of a particular design or characteristic
by the Commission, the gaming chip manufacturer shall thereafter have the
exclusive right to use that design or characteristic on that denomination of
value chip and shall be precluded from using that same design or
characteristic on any other denomination of value chip that it manufactures.
The approved unique design or characteristic may only be changed upon a
showing by the gaming chip manufacturer that, despite the change, each value
chip in a denomination of $25.00 or more shall nonetheless be readily
identifiable to the manufacturer. An example of the application of this
subsection is as follows:
1. If a hexagon is approved for use by Manufacturer A on a $100.00 value
chip, a hexagon can be used by Manufacturer A on any $100.00 value chip that
it makes for any casino licensee, but Manufacturer A cannot use a hexagon on
any other denomination of value chip that it manufactures; but
2. Manufacturer B could use a hexagon on any value chip with a denomination
of less than $25.00 and on any value chip with a denomination of $25.00 or
more, other than a $100.00 chip, provided that no other manufacturer has
been granted approval by the Commission to use a hexagon on the same
particular value chip with a denomination of $25.00 or more.
(g) Each value chip issued by a casino licensee shall contain an identifying
characteristic, to be known as an "edge spot," which shall:
1. Be applied in a manner which ensures that the edge spot shall:
i. Be clearly visible on the edge and, to the extent required by the
Commission, on each face of the value chip; and
ii. Remain a permanent part of the value chip;
2. Be created by using:
i. The primary color of the chip; and
ii. One or more secondary colors; and
3. Include a design, pattern or other feature that a natural person with
adequate training could readily use to identify, when viewed through the
closed circuit television system of the casino licensee, the denomination of
the particular value chip when placed in a stack of gaming chips, in the
table inventory or in any other location where only the edge of the value
chip is visible; provided, however, that the design, pattern or feature
created by the primary and secondary colors required by (g)2 above shall be
sufficient by itself to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph if
approved for that purpose by the Commission.
(h) When determining the secondary colors to be used to make the edge spot
on a particular denomination of value chip, a casino licensee shall, unless
otherwise approved by the Commission, use only those secondary colors that
are reasonably likely to differentiate its value chip from the same
denomination of value chip issued by any other casino licensee.
1. If an approved value chip uses a single secondary color, no other casino
licensee shall use a similar secondary color as the sole secondary color on
the same denomination of value chip unless it is used in a different pattern
or design approved by the Commission pursuant to (g)3 above.
2. If an approved value chip uses a combination of two or more secondary
colors, no other casino licensee shall use that identical combination of
secondary colors on the same denomination of value chip unless it is used in
a different pattern or design approved by the Commission pursuant to (g)3
above.
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.A.C. 19:46-1.1(a) to the contrary,
any value chip issued in a denomination of $1,000 or $5,000 shall have a
uniform diameter of one and 11/16ths inches.
(j) Each value chip with a denomination below $25.00 shall contain at least
one anti-counterfeiting measure and each value chip with a denomination of
$25.00 or more shall contain at least three anti-counterfeiting measures in
addition to those items specifically required to appear on the face
