    (1)   It shall be the option of the banker, after any round of play either to pass the dealing shoe or remain as banker except that—

    1.  

      (a)     the banker shall pass the dealing shoe whenever the banker's hand loses; and

    1.  

      (b)     the dealer or Gaming Supervisor assigned to the baccarat-chemin de fer table may order the banker to pass the shoe if the banker unreasonably delays the game, repeatedly makes invalid deals or violates these Regulations.

  1.  

    (2)   Whenever a mandatory relinquishment of the Bank occurs, it shall be offered to the seated participant to the right of the previous banker and then to each other seated participant moving counter-clockwise around the table, until a new participant accepts it and becomes the new banker.

  1.  

    (3)   Whenever a voluntary relinquishment of the Bank occurs, each seated participant shall be offered it, beginning with the participant to the right of the previous banker and moving counter-clockwise around the baccarat-chemin de fer table and the first participant willing to accept the Bank and to wager an amount on the next hand equal to, but no more than twice, the amount of the previous banker's last wager, shall become the next banker but if no participant accepts the Bank the participant offering to wager the highest amount on the next hand shall become the new banker. However, the participant who passed the Bank shall not be permitted to take part in the first round of such bidding.

  1.  

    (4)   When a passed Bank is defeated in any hand, it shall be transferred as it would have been in accordance with subregulation (2) had it not been voluntarily passed.

  1.  

    (5)   A participant by moving to another seat at the baccarat-chemin de fer table shall miss a turn to become the banker in the next seat where such a move would otherwise give that participant promotion in turn to become the banker.
