What's expected of everyone who takes a seat?
The rules at Paperbark Row are short and apply to everyone who sits down in Devonport, whether it's a first visit or a hundred-and-first: ID at the door, chips at the table, and a house dealer who has the final word.
What's the code, exactly?
Photo ID comes out at the door every time — regulars included, no exceptions made.
Chips are handed out at the start of the night and only ever count as points; they're never bought, sold or exchanged for money.
The house dealer runs the hand; players don't deal, shuffle or bank the game themselves.
Any dispute at the table is settled by the dealer, and that's the end of it.
Nobody under eighteen is allowed past the door — not the floor, not the lounge, not the counter.
Management can end a hand, or ask someone to leave, entirely at their own discretion.
