   1. (a) Licensees may only accept checks from players at the cashier's cage or poker podium; and
   2. (b) Before cashing the check, the cage cashier must examine the player's identification to confirm the player's identity; and

      1. (i) Initial the check; and
      2. (ii) Date and time stamp the check; and
      3. (iii) Verify that the player is not listed on the daily returned check report. If licensees use a check guarantee and collection service, the licensee may disregard this subsection; and
