Section 330.11 Of Chapter 10. Gaming 330-337z From California Penal Code >> Title 9. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 10.
330.11
. "Banking game" or "banked game" does not include a
controlled game if the published rules of the game feature a
player-dealer position and provide that this position must be
continuously and systematically rotated amongst each of the
participants during the play of the game, ensure that the
player-dealer is able to win or lose only a fixed and limited wager
during the play of the game, and preclude the house, another entity,
a player, or an observer from maintaining or operating as a bank
during the course of the game. For purposes of this section it is not
the intent of the Legislature to mandate acceptance of the deal by
every player if the division finds that the rules of the game render
the maintenance of or operation of a bank impossible by other means.
The house shall not occupy the player-dealer position.
