The Deal.
34. Each player deals in his turn; the order of dealing goes to the left.
35. The player on the dealer's right cuts the pack, and, in dividing it, must not leave fewer than four cards in either packet; if in cutting, or in replacing one of the two packets on the other, a card be exposed, or if there be any confusion of the cards, or a doubt as to the exact place in which the pack was divided, there must be a fresh cut.
36. When a player, whose duty it is to cut, has once separated the pack, he cannot alter his intention; he can neither re-shuffle nor re-cut the cards.
37. When the pack is cut, should the dealer shuffle the cards, the pack must be cut again.
38. The fifty-two cards shall be dealt face downwards. The deal is not completed until the last card has been dealt face downwards. There is no misdeal.
A New Deal.
39. There must be a new deal—
I. If, during a deal, or during the play of a hand, the pack be proved to be incorrect or imperfect.
II. If any card be faced in the pack.
III. Unless the cards are dealt into four packets, one at a time and in regular rotation, beginning at the player to the dealer's left.
IV. Should the last card not come in its regular order to the dealer.
V. Should a player have more than thirteen cards, and any one or more of the others less than thirteen cards.
VI. Should the dealer deal two cards at once, or two cards to the same hand, and then deal a third; but if, prior to dealing that card, the dealer can, by altering the position of one card only, rectify such error, he may do so.
VII. Should the dealer omit to have the pack cut to him, and the adversaries discover the error prior to the last card being dealt, and before looking at their cards; but not after having done so.
