Section 68IAC10-10-8. Cut

   (a) After the cards have been shuffled, the dealer must offer the stack of cards with the backs facing away from the dealer to the cutting player to be cut in a manner that does not expose the value of any cards to a player or a spectator.

  (b) The dealer must make a reasonable attempt to alternate the cut among all players.

  (c) Once the cutting card has been inserted into the stack, the dealer shall take all the cards in front of the cutting card and place them to the back of the stack. The dealer shall then insert one (1) cutting card in a position at least fourteen (14) cards from the back of the stack, to create a cushion, and the second cutting card at the back of the stack for game protection. The stack of cards shall then be inserted into the dealing shoe for commencement of play.

  (d) After the cut card appears in a round of play, one (1) more hand may be dealt and the cards must then be shuffled.
