Delaware Code Title 28. Sports and Amusements § 1548. Required statements when betting

A player may substitute a gesture for a verbal statement of the player's action.  The dealer must announce it, and the player must correct the dealer before any further action takes place.  A player may verbally state an action as “check,” “call,” “raise,” or “fold.”  If a player bets but announces a fold, the player has a dead hand.  A statement by a player of “call” or “raise,” “check” or “fold,” or of a specific bet is binding.  A player who states a certain amount but puts a different value of chips into the pot must correct the bets to the stated amount.  The dealer must insure all bets are as stated by the player.  Players, who make a bet, decide incorrectly that they have no live hand against the play, and fold their hand, lose the pot unless their hand is declared retrievable by the dealer.
