1. During the course of a button game, it is realized that the button was not placed properly or correctly during the previous round, the button should then be corrected in such a way that every player in the game gets a chance to take position during that round.
2. It is imperative for you to protect your hand during the course of the game at all times. This can be done with the help of your hands, chips or any other object that can be positioned on top of them. If you do not protect your hand, you have no excuse if it is fouled.
3. In case a card that has a back that is differently colored is discovered during the course of a hand, the game must be stopped and all the chips must be returned to the bettors. However, if a card with a differently colored back appears in the stub, the game continues as it is.
4. If during the course of the game, two cards are discovered that have the same suit and rank, all action is considered to be negated. In this case, all the chips are returned to the bettors.
5. If one of players is aware of the fact that the deck in question is defective, it is his job to make the other players conscious of this detail. If he tries to win the game by taking advantage of this defect, he will be debarred from getting a refund and his chips will be considered to be a part of the next deals wager.
