(a)Equipment and layout.

(1)A table shall have a:

(i)drop box;

(ii)tip box attached to the dealer’s side of the gaming table; and

(iii)if the table game uses cards, discard rack. The height of each discard rack shall equal the height of the cards, stacked one on top of the other, contained in the total number of decks that are to be used in the dealing shoe at the table. A taller discard rack may be used if such rack has a distinct and clearly visible mark on its side to show the exact height for a stack of cards equal to the total number of cards contained in the number of decks to be used in the dealing shoe at that table.

(b)Preparing cards for gaming.

(1)After receiving one or more decks of cards at the table, unless the cards have been pre-shuffled and pre-inspected according to the requirements set forth in section 5322.16 of this Title, the dealer shall shuffle and inspect each deck of cards as required in section 5322.15(c) of this Title.

(2)After the cards are inspected, the cards shall be spread out face up on the table for visual inspection by the first player or players to arrive at the table. The cards shall be spread out in horizontal fan-shaped columns by deck according to suit and in sequence. The cards in each suit shall be laid out in sequence within the suit.

(3)After the first player or players is afforded an opportunity visually to inspect the cards:

(i)if the dealer is shuffling manually, the cards shall be placed face down on the table, followed by a wash and shuffle of the cards so that the cards are intermixed randomly; and

(ii)if an automated card shuffling device or a continuous shuffling device is used as set forth in section 5322.19 of this Title, all of the decks in one batch of cards shall be spread for inspection on the table separately from the decks in the other batch of cards. After the first player or players are afforded an opportunity visually to inspect the cards, each batch of cards shall separately be turned face down on the table, washed and deposited into the shuffling device.

(4)After the cards have been shuffled, the dealer shall offer the stack of cards, with backs facing away from him, to the players to be cut. The dealer shall prevent any cards from being disclosed by using cover cards or other precautionary methods as set forth in the gaming facility’s approved system of internal controls.

(5)When a player is offered to cut the cards, the player shall place a cover card in the stack at least 14 cards in from either end. The player designated to cut the cards shall be the:

(i)first player to the table if the game is just beginning;

(ii)player on whose betting space the cover card appeared during the last round of play;

(iii)player at the farthest point to the right of the dealer if the cover card appeared on the dealer’s hand during the last round of play; or

(iv)player at the farthest point to the right of the dealer if the re-shuffle was initiated at the discretion of the gaming facility.

(6)Once the cover card has been inserted by the player, the dealer shall take all cards in front of the cover card and place them to the back of the stack. If dealt from the dealing shoe, the dealer shall then take the entire stack of cards that was just shuffled and align them along the side of the dealing shoe. Thereafter, the dealer shall insert the cover card in the stack at a position at least one deck in from the back of the stack. The stack of cards shall then be inserted into the dealing shoe for commencement of play.

(7)If the player designated in paragraph (5) of this subdivision refuses the cut, the cards shall be offered to each other player moving clockwise around the table until a player accepts the cut. If no player accepts the cut, the dealer shall cut the cards. If the dealer is required to cut the cards, the dealer shall cut the deck by using only one hand and according to the following procedure:

(i)placing the cover card on the table in front of the deck of cards;

(ii)taking a stack of at least 14 cards from the top of the deck and placing them on top of the cover card; and

(iii)placing the cards remaining in the deck on top of the stack of cards that were cut and placed on the cover card.

(8)After the cards have been cut and before any cards have been dealt, a table games supervisor may require the cards to be re-cut if the table games supervisor determines that the cut was performed improperly or in any way that might affect the integrity or fairness of the game. If a re-cut is required, the cards shall be re-cut, at the gaming facility’s option, by the player who last cut the cards, or by the next person entitled to cut the cards.

(9)At the conclusion of a round of play, all cards still remaining on the layout shall be picked up by the dealer in order and in such a way that the cards can be readily arranged to indicate each player’s hand in case of question or dispute. Unless otherwise prescribed by dealing procedures specific to each section of this Part, the dealer shall pick up the dealer’s card and then pick up the cards beginning with those of the player to the dealer’s far right and moving counter-clockwise around the table. After all the players’ cards have been collected, the dealer shall place all of the collected cards in the discard rack.

(10)A re-shuffle of the cards in the shoe shall take place after the cover card is reached in the shoe except that the gaming facility may determine after each round of play that the cards should be re-shuffled.

(11)If there is no gaming activity at a table that is open for gaming, all cards shall be removed from the table’s shuffling or dealing devices and the discard rack and then spread face up on the table. Prior to commencement of gaming activity at such table, the dealer shall repeat the procedures as set forth by paragraphs (3) through (9) of this subdivision.

(c)Determining starting positions for the dealing of cards using shakers or a computerized random number generator.

In order to determine the starting position for the dealing of cards, a gaming facility may use any of the following procedures:

(1)By using a shaker.

(i)The dealer shall shake the dice contained within the shaker at least three times.

(ii)The dealer shall then remove the lid covering the shaker, total the dice and announce the total.

(iii)To determine the starting position, the dealer shall count counter-clockwise around the table, with the position of the dealer counted as number one, regardless of whether there is a wager at the position, until the count matches the total of the three dice.

(iv)After the dealing the cards has been completed in accordance with the specifications of each poker table game set forth in this Part, the dealer shall place the cover on the shaker and shake the shaker once.

(v)The shaker shall then be placed to the right of the dealer.

(vi)The shaker shall have the name and/or logo of the gaming facility imprinted or impressed thereon.

(vii)The shaker shall contain three dice and shall be designed as to prevent the dice from being seen while the dealer is shaking it.

(viii)The dice shall be maintained at all times inside a pai gow shaker while at the table.

(ix)The dice shall be the responsibility of the dealer and shall never be left unattended while at the table.

(x)The dice shall not remain on the table for more than 24 hours.

(2)By using a computerized random number generator. The generator shall meet the requirements set forth in Part 5318 of this Title.

(i)The computerized random number generator shall select and display a number from one through the number of maximum gaming positions permitted at the table.

(ii)The dealer shall announce verbally the number.

(3)After the starting position for a round of play has been determined, the gaming facility may mark that position by the use of an additional cover card or similar object.

(d)Procedures for dealing the cards from dealing shoes.

(1)The dealer shall announce “no more bets” prior to dealing any cards. If the progressive payout wager is being offered, the dealer shall use the progressive table game system to prevent the placement of any additional progressive payout wagers. If any progressive payout wagers have been made, the dealer shall collect the wagers, press the lock out button and, on the layout in front of the chip tray, verify that the number of chips wagered equals the number of progressive payout wagers accepted by the progressive table game system. The dealer shall then place the chips into the chip tray. Each player shall be responsible for verifying that such player’s respective progressive payout wager has been accepted.

(2)Cards shall be placed in a dealing shoe by the dealer or by an automated shuffling device.

(3)Each card or stack of cards shall be removed from the dealing shoe with the hand of the dealer that is closest to the dealing shoe and placed on the appropriate area of the layout with the opposite hand.

(4)The dealer shall deal each card or stacks of cards according to the specifications of each table game set forth in this Part. After the cards have been dealt to each player and dealer, the dealer shall remove the stub from the manual dealing shoe and, except as required under section 5324.30(c) of this Part, place the stub in the discard rack without exposing the cards.

(5)Unless otherwise provided in this Part, if a cut of the cards is required, the dealer shall cut the deck in accordance with paragraph (b)(7) of this section.

(e)Hand deals.

A dealer may deal any card game by hand in accordance with the following requirements:

(1)no more than two decks of cards shall be used;

(2)after the shuffle of the cards has been completed in accordance with subdivision (b) of this section, the dealer shall place the deck or decks of cards on top of a cover card and then place the deck or decks of cards and the cover card in one hand, not to be changed during that round of play;

(3)the cards held by the dealer shall be held over the chip rack and in front of the dealer at all times;

(3)both batches of cards shall be continuously alternated in and out of play, with each batch being used every other time; and

(1)If an automated card shuffling device is being used and the device jams or stops shuffling during a shuffle or fails to complete a shuffle, the cards shall be re-shuffled.

(2)If an automated card shuffling device cannot function correctly, the device shall be covered or have a sign indicating that it is out of order placed on the device before any other method of shuffling may be used at the table.

(3)If an automated dealing shoe is being used and the device jams, stops dealing cards or fails to deal all cards during a round of play, the round of play shall be void and the cards shall be removed from the device and re-shuffled with any cards already dealt.

(4)A card found turned face up in the shoe shall not be used in any game and shall be burned. If more than one card is found face up in the shoe during the dealing of the cards, the round of play shall be void and the cards shall be re-shuffled.

(5)If there are insufficient cards remaining in the shoe to complete a round of play, all of the cards in the discard rack shall be shuffled, cut and deposited into the dealing shoe. The first card shall then be burned and the dealer shall complete the round of play. Thereafter, play shall continue by using the shoe.

(6)If the incorrect number of stacks of cards are dealt, the cards shall be re-shuffled.

(i)Card-reader irregularities.

(1)If the card reader device is not operating, play shall continue as if a card reader is not in use.

(2)If the dealer neglects to check properly the dealer’s hole card, the play shall continue as if a card reader is not in use.

(4)If upon exposing the hole card it becomes apparent that the dealer incorrectly placed the card into the card reader, causing the hole card to be misread, the floor supervisor shall be called. The dealer shall be instructed to replace the hole card under the up card as if it had not been exposed and continue play.

(j)Misdeals in card games.

(1)Unless otherwise specified in this Part, a card drawn in error but not disclosed shall be used as though it were the next card drawn.

(2)If any player or the dealer is dealt an incorrect number of cards, all hands shall be void, all wagers shall be returned to the players.

(5)If a hole card is exposed prior to the dealer announcing “no more bets,” all hands shall be void.

(6)If the dealer exposes any of the cards dealt to a player, the player has the option of voiding the hand. Without looking at the unexposed cards, the player shall make the decision either to play out the hand or to void the hand.

(7)If the dealer does not set the dealer’s hands in the manner consistent with the gaming facility’s approved system of internal controls, the hands shall be reset.

(4)If an electronic shaker device malfunctions and the shaker has been uncovered, the dealer shall, in the presence of a supervisor, collect all losing wagers and pay all winning wagers. Once the wagers on the layout have been settled, all gaming at the table shall cease until the electronic device has been fixed.

(1)a wagering device at each betting position that acknowledges or accepts the placement of the progressive wager;

(iii)the following inscriptions describing:

(a)payout for blackjacks;

(b)the dealer shall draw on 16 and hit soft 17 or stand on any 17; and

(c)payout for insurance;

(vi)an inscription indicating the payout limit per hand established by the gaming facility or a generic inscription indicating the game is subject to the posted payout limit. If the payout limit is not inscribed on the layout, a sign that sets forth the required information shall be posted at each blackjack table.

(3)Each blackjack table may also have an approved table game progressive payout wager system for the placement of progressive wagers. A table game progressive payout wager system shall include, without limitation:

(i)a wagering device at each betting position that acknowledges or accepts the placement of the progressive wager;

(ii)a control device that controls or monitors the placement of progressive wagers at the gaming table, including a mechanism, such as a lock-out button, that prevents the recognition of any progressive wager that a player attempts to place after the dealer has announced “no more bets”;

(iii)written procedures for the operation and use of the system and its components.

(4)If a blackjack table has an approved card-reader device attached to it, the floorperson assigned to the table shall inspect the card reader device at the beginning of each gaming day.

(b)Cards; number of decks; value of cards.

(1)Blackjack shall be played with at least one standard deck of cards with backs of the same color and design and at least one additional cover card. The cover card shall be opaque and in a solid color readily distinguishable from the color of the backs and edges of the playing cards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum number of decks used to play blackjack shall be:

(i)one or two, if dealt from the hand;

(ii)two, if the 20-point bonus wager or the in-between wager is authorized;

(iii)six, if any other or the optional bonus wager is authorized.

(2)The value of the cards contained in each deck shall be as follows:

(i)any card from 2 to 10 shall have its face value;

(ii)any jack, queen or king shall have a value of 10;

(iii)an ace shall have a value of 11, unless that value would give a player or the dealer a total in excess of 21, in which case, it shall have a value of 1.

(3)If an automated card shuffling device is used, blackjack shall be played with at least two decks of cards and in accordance with the following:

(i)the cards shall be separated into two batches, with an equal number of decks included in each batch;

(ii)the backs of the cards in each batch shall be of the same color and design, but of a different color than the cards included in the other batch;

(iii)one batch of cards shall be shuffled and stored in the automated card shuffling device while the other batch is being dealt or used to play the game;

(iv)both batches of cards shall be continuously alternated in and out of play, with each batch being used for every other dealing shoe; and

(v)the cards from only one batch shall be placed in the discard rack at any given time.

(c)Splitting pairs.

(1)Whenever the initial two cards dealt to a player are identical in value, the player may elect to split the hand into two separate hands provided that the player makes a wager on the second hand in an amount equal to the original wager.

(2)When a player splits pairs, the dealer shall deal a card to the first incomplete hand on the dealer’s left before proceeding to deal any cards to any other hand.

(3)After a second card is dealt to a split pair, the dealer shall announce the point total of such hand and the player shall indicate the player’s decision to stand, re-split, if the second card is identical in value, draw or double down with respect thereto except that:

(i)a player may not split pairs after the third split on one betting position (a total of four hands) or after a double down wager has been made on that hand; and

(ii)a player splitting aces shall have only one card dealt to each ace and may not elect to receive additional cards.

(iii)The player is prohibited from splitting a pair of aces more than once. All other requirements of this section may apply to each hand that is formed as a result of splitting pairs more than once.

(d)Doubling down.

Except for a natural blackjack, a player may elect to double down on the first two cards dealt to the player or the first two cards of any split pair on the condition that one additional card may be dealt to the hand on which the player has elected to double down. In such circumstances, the one additional card may be dealt face down and placed sideways on the layout, perpendicular to the two cards forming the hand on which the player has elected to double down.

(e)Insurance wagers.

(1)Whenever the first card dealt to the dealer is an ace, each player shall have the right to make an insurance bet that wins if the dealer’s second card is a king, queen, jack or 10 and shall lose if the dealer’s second card is an ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.

(2)An insurance bet may be made by placing on the insurance line of the layout an amount not more than half the amount staked on the player’s initial wager, except that a player may bet an amount in excess of half the initial wager to the next unit that can be wagered in chips when, because of the limitation of the value of chip denominations, half the initial wager cannot be bet. All insurance wagers shall be placed prior to the dealer inserting the dealer’s hole card into the card reader device or otherwise determining whether the dealer’s hole card is a king, queen, jack or 10.

(3)All winning insurance wagers shall be paid at no less than odds of 2:1

(4)All losing insurance wagers shall be collected by the dealer immediately after the dealer determines that the hole card is not a king, queen, jack or 10.

(f)Surrender.

(1)A gaming facility may, after the first two cards are dealt to a player and the player’s point total is announced, allow the player to discontinue play on the player’s hand for that round by surrendering one-half of the player’s wager. All decisions to surrender shall be made prior to such player indicating as to whether the player wishes to double down, split pairs, stand or draw as provided in this Part and after the dealer has determined that the dealer’s hand does not have a blackjack if the dealer’s up card is an ace or 10.

(i)If the first card dealt to the dealer is a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, the dealer shall collect immediately one-half of the wager and return one-half to the player.

(ii)If the first card dealt to the dealer is an ace, king, queen or jack, the dealer shall place the player’s wager on top of the player’s cards or designated area for insurance wagers. When the dealer’s second card is revealed, the hand shall be settled by immediately collecting the entire wager if the dealer has blackjack, or by collecting one-half of the wager and returning one-half the wager to the player if the dealer does not have blackjack.

(2)If the player has made an insurance wager and then elects to surrender, each wager shall be settled separately and one wager shall have no bearing on the other.

(g)Drawing of additional cards by players and dealers.

(1)A player may elect to draw additional cards whenever such player’s point count total is less than 21, except that a player:

(i)electing to double down shall draw only one additional card; and

(ii)splitting aces shall have only one card dealt to each ace and shall not be permitted to receive additional cards.

(2)Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this subdivision, a dealer shall draw additional cards to the dealer’s hand until the dealer has a total of 17, 18, 19, 20 or 21, at which point no additional cards shall be drawn, unless the gaming facility requires the dealer to draw an additional card if the dealer has a soft 17, so long as the table inscription indicates such soft-17 rule.

(3)A dealer shall draw no additional cards to the dealer’s hand if doing so would have no effect on a game outcome.

(h)More than one player wagering on a box.

(1)In the games of blackjack, Spanish 21, blackjack switch and multiple-action blackjack, the gaming facility may permit one to three people to wager on any one box on the layout, provided that the first person wagering on that box consents to additional players wagering on such box.

(2)Whenever more than one player wagers on a box, the player seated at that box shall have the exclusive right to call the decisions with regard to the cards dealt to such box. In the case of no seated player, the person with the highest wager in the box shall have such right.

(3)The player calling the decisions with respect to any box shall place a wager in the portion of the box closest to the dealer’s side of the table and all other players wagering on such box shall place their wagers immediately behind and in a vertical line with the aforementioned wager.

(4)Whenever more than one player is wagering on a box and the player calling the decisions decides to double down, the other players may also double their wagers but shall not be required to do so. In any event, only one additional card shall be dealt to the hand that is subject to the double-down decision.

(5)Whenever more than one player is wagering on a box and the player calling the decisions decides to split pairs, the other players shall either make an additional wager to cover each split pair or the player’s wager shall only apply to the first blackjack hand dealt after the split.

(6)Whenever more than one player is wagering on a box, each player shall have the right to make an insurance bet, without regard to whether the other players on that box make such a bet.

(i)Irregularities.

(1)After the initial two cards have been dealt to each player and the dealer and a card is drawn and exposed to the players in error, such card shall be dealt to the players or dealer as though it were the next card drawn from the shoe. Any player refusing to accept such card shall not have any additional cards dealt to such player during such round. If the card is refused by all players and the dealer cannot use the card, the card shall be burned.

(2)If the dealer misses dealing a card in the dealer’s hand, the dealer shall continue dealing the first two cards to each player and then shall deal the appropriate number of cards to the dealer’s hand.

(3)If no cards are dealt to the player’s hand, that hand shall be declared dead and the player shall be included in the next deal. If only one card is dealt to the player’s hand, at the player’s option, the dealer shall deal the second card to the player after all other players have received a second card.

(4)If, after receiving the first two cards, the dealer fails to deal an additional card or cards to a player who has requested such card, then, at the player’s option, the dealer shall either:

(i)deal the additional card or cards after all other players have received their additional cards but prior to the dealer revealing the dealer’s hole card; or

(ii)call the player’s hand dead, return the player’s original wager and place the player’s cards into the discard rack.

(5)If the dealer inserts the dealer’s hole card into a card reader device when the value of the dealer’s first card is not an ace, king, queen, jack or 10, the dealer, after notification to a supervisor, shall continue play only if the particular card reader device in use does not provide the dealer or any player with the opportunity to determine the value of the hole card.

(a)Multiple-action blackjack shall be played at a table having on one side betting positions for no more than six players and on the opposite side a place for the dealer.

(b)Wagers.

(1)Prior to the first card being dealt, each player at the multiple-action blackjack game shall make a minimum of one wager in both circle one and two and may opt to place a third wager in circle three within the posted minimums and maximums in succession against the dealer that shall win if:

(i)at the completion of a round of play, the total of the player is 21 or less and the total of the dealer is in excess of 21;

(ii)at the completion of a round of play the total of the player exceeds that of the dealer without either exceeding 21, or;

(iii)the player has achieved a total of 21 in 2 cards and the dealer has achieved a total of 21 in more than 2 cards.

(2)Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (1)(ii) of this subdivision, a wager shall be void when the total of the player is the same as the dealer, provided however, that a player’s wager shall lose when the dealer has a blackjack and the player has a simple 21 that is not a blackjack.

(3)Except as otherwise provided in this section, no wagers shall be made, increased or withdrawn after the first card of the respective round has been dealt.

(4)All wagers at blackjack shall be made by placing chips or plaques and, if applicable, table game promotional coupons on the appropriate areas of the blackjack layout.

(5)The gaming facility shall establish the minimum wagers permitted at each multiple-action blackjack table. The minimum and maximum wagers as established by the gaming facility shall be and remain conspicuously posted on a sign at each table.

(6)All winning wagers made in accordance with paragraph (1) of this subdivision shall be paid at no less than odds of 1:1 with the exception of blackjack, which shall be paid at no less than odds of 3:2.

(7)Once the first card of any hand has been removed from the shoe by the dealer, no player shall handle, remove or alter any wager that has been made until a decision has been rendered and implemented with respect to that wager except as permitted by this section.

(8)Once a wager on the insurance line, a wager to double down or a wager to split pairs has been made and confirmed by the dealer, no player shall handle, remove or alter such wagers until a decision has been rendered and implemented with respect to that wager except as explicitly permitted by this Part.

(9)The gaming facility may implement any of the following options at a multiple-action blackjack table:

(i)players who have not made a wager on the first round of play may not enter the game on a subsequent round of play until a re-shuffle of the cards has occurred;

(ii)players who have not made a wager on the first round of play may be permitted to enter the game, but may be limited to wagering only the minimum limit posted at the table until a re-shuffle of the cards has occurred;

(iii)players who, after making a wager on a given round of play, decline to wager on any subsequent round of play may be precluded from placing any further wagers until a re-shuffle of the cards has occurred; and

(iv)players who, after making a wager on a given round of play, decline to wager on any subsequent round of play may be permitted to place further wagers, but may be limited to wagering only the minimum limit posted at the table until a re-shuffle of the cards has occurred.

(10)If a gaming facility implements any of the options in paragraph (9) of this subdivision the option shall be applied uniformly to all players at that table; provided, however, that if the gaming facility has implemented either of the options in subparagraph (9)(iii) or (iv) of this subdivision, an exception may be made for a player who temporarily leaves the table if, at the time the player leaves, the gaming facility agrees to reserve the player’s spot until such player’s return.

(c)Procedure for dealing cards.

(1)All cards used at the game of multiple-action blackjack shall be dealt from a dealing shoe.

(2)Each dealer shall remove cards from the shoe with the dealer’s left hand, turn the cards face up and then place the cards on the appropriate area of the layout with the dealer’s right hand, except that the dealer has the option to deal cards to the first three positions with the dealer’s left hand.

(3)After each full set of cards is placed in the shoe, the dealer shall remove the first card face down and place such card in the discard. Each new dealer who comes to the table also shall burn one card as described in this paragraph before the new dealer deals any cards to the players. The burn card shall be disclosed to all players if requested. Cards shall be delivered as follows:

(i)one card face up to each box on the layout in which a wager is contained;

(ii)one card face up to the dealer;

(iii)a second card face up to each box in which a wager is contained;

(iv)one card face down to the dealer, which shall be known as the hole card; and

(v)the gaming facility may choose to deliver all determinate cards to the player before the dealer receives the dealer’s second card.

(4)If the dealer’s first card is an ace, king, queen, jack or 10, the dealer shall determine whether the hole card will give the dealer a natural blackjack prior to dealing any additional cards to the players at the table.

(i)If the gaming facility elects to use a card reader device, the dealer shall insert the hole card into the card reader device by moving the card face down on the layout without exposing such card’s value to anyone at the table, including the dealer. If the dealer has a natural blackjack, no additional cards shall be dealt and each player’s wager shall be settled.

(ii)If the gaming facility does not elect to use a card reader device, the dealer shall determine the value of the hole card by peeking discreetly at the card without exposing such card’s value to any other person. If the dealer has a natural blackjack, no additional cards shall be dealt and each player’s wager shall be settled.

(iii)If the gaming facility chooses to deliver all determinate cards to the player before the dealer receives the dealer’s second card, the players shall have the option to make an insurance wager at the same time.

(5)After two cards have been dealt to each player and the dealer does not have a natural blackjack, the dealer shall, beginning from the dealer’s left, announce the point total starting with the first player from the dealers left until each player’s hand is announced. As each player’s point total is announced, such player shall indicate whether he or she wishes to surrender, double down, split pairs, stand or draw as provided for by this Part.

(6)As each player indicates a decision, the dealer shall deal face up whatever additional cards are necessary to effectuate such decision consistent with this section and shall announce the new point total of such player’s hand after each additional card is dealt.

(7)A player whose point total exceeds 21 shall lose all 3 wagers and such player’s cards shall be collected by the dealer.

(8)After decisions of each player have been implemented and all additional cards have been dealt, the dealer shall expose the dealer’s hole card. Any additional cards required to be dealt to the hand of the dealer shall be dealt face up. After the dealer’s hand has been completed, the dealer shall announce the point count. If the gaming facility chooses to deliver all determinate cards to the player before the dealer receives the dealer’s second card, the dealer shall remove the next card from the dealing shoe and place such card face up on the layout next to the dealer’s hole card.

(9)At the conclusion of the first round of play, the dealer shall pay or collect only the first-round wagers starting with the players to the dealer’s far right and moving counter clockwise around the table. The dealer shall then remove all of the dealer’s cards to the right of the original up card and place such cards in the discard rack.

(10)A second round shall then commence with the dealer using the same face up card and following the same procedures for drawing additional cards, collecting losing wagers and paying winning wagers as warranted. The player’s hand shall remain unchanged for each round of play.

(11)A third and final round shall be played following the same procedures as set forth in paragraphs (5) and (6) of this subdivision.

(i)the player may surrender one-half of such player’s initial wager and end such player’s participation in that round of play. If a player selects this option, the dealer shall collect one-half of the player’s initial wager and place it in the chip tray. The dealer shall return the remaining one half of the initial wager to the player. The dealer shall then proceed around the table in a clockwise direction, repeating the process for each player with a tie hand who selects this option; or

The dealer may insert a cover card in the automated dealing shoe prior to the dealer’s cards being dispensed.

(e)Procedure for completion of each round of play; collection and payment of wagers.

(1)After the dealing procedures required by subdivision (d) of this section have been completed, each player shall have the opportunity to examine such player’s cards and, without exposing such cards to any other person, each player shall then place the cards face down on the layout and shall either place a flop wager or fold and forfeit the ante wager.

(i)If a player chooses to place a flop wager, the wager shall be placed in the designated flop betting area.

(ii)If a player folds, the player’s ante shall be collected by the dealer and placed in the chip tray.

(a)If the player has also placed a bonus wager, the player’s cards shall remain on the table pending resolution of the bonus wager at the conclusion of the round of play.

(b)If no bonus wager has been made, the dealer shall immediately spread the cards of the folded hand face down, collect the cards and place them in the discard rack.

(2)Once all players have either placed a flop wager or folded, the dealer shall burn the next card. The dealer shall then turn face up the next three cards in the deck (the flop) and place them in the designated area for the community cards.

(3)Prior to revealing the turn card, the dealer shall ask each player who has placed a flop wager if such player chooses to place a turn wager or check, starting with the player farthest to the dealer’s left and proceeding around the table clockwise. If a player wishes to place a turn wager, the wager shall be placed in the designated turn betting area.

(5)Prior to revealing the river card, the dealer shall ask each player who has placed a flop wager if such player chooses to place a river wager or check, starting with the player farthest to the dealer’s left and proceeding around the table clockwise. If a player wishes to place a river wager, the wager shall be placed in the designated river betting area.

(6)Once all remaining players have either placed a river wager or checked, the dealer shall burn the next card. The dealer shall then turn the next card in the deck (the river) face up and place such card in the designated area for the community cards.

(7)The dealer shall then turn the dealer’s two cards face up, announce and place the cards to show the best possible five-card poker hand that can be formed using the dealer’s two cards and the five community cards.

(8)Starting with the player farthest to the dealer’s right who has placed a flop wager and proceeding counter-clockwise around the table, the dealer shall turn face up the two cards of each player who has placed a flop wager and announce the best possible five-card poker hand that can be formed using the two player cards and the five community cards. The player’s wager shall then be resolved and, unless the player has placed a bonus wager, the hand of the player shall be collected immediately by the dealer and placed in the discard rack before the dealer proceeds to the next player.

(i)If the player’s five-card poker hand has a lower rank than the dealer’s five-card poker hand, the player shall lose and the dealer shall immediately collect any ante, flop, turn and river wagers made by the player and place the wagers in the chip tray.

(ii)If the player’s five-card poker hand has a higher rank than the dealer’s five-card poker hand, the player shall win and the dealer shall pay any ante, flop, turn and river wagers made by the player in accordance with the payout odds set forth in subdivision (f) of this section; provided, however, that the ante wager shall not be paid unless the player’s winning hand has a qualifying rank, as set forth in the inscription on the table, as provided for in subparagraph (a)(2)(vi) of this section, of straight or higher or flush or higher.

(iii)If the player’s five-card poker hand and the dealer’s five-card poker hand are of equal rank, the player’s hand shall be a push. In such case, the dealer shall not collect or pay the player’s wagers.

(iv)After settling a player’s ante, flop, turn and river wagers, the dealer shall settle any bonus wager made by the player by determining whether the player’s two cards qualify for a payout pursuant to paragraph (f)(2) of this section. A winning bonus wager shall be paid without regard to the outcome of any other wager made by the player. After the bonus wager of the player is settled, the dealer shall immediately collect the cards of such player and place the cards in the discard rack.

(9)All cards collected by the dealer shall be picked up in order and placed in the discard rack in such a way that such cards readily can be arranged to reconstruct each hand in the event of a question or dispute.

If the hands are of identical rank after the application of this paragraph, the hands shall be considered tied and the pot shall be equally divided among the players with the tied hands.

(4)An oral statement by a player of “fold,” “check,” “call,” “raise” or an announcement of a specific-size wager shall be binding on the player if it is such player’s turn to act.

(5)A player who announces a bet or raise of a certain amount but places a different amount of chips or plaques in the pot shall be required to correct such bet or raise to the announced amount.

(6)A player shall be considered to have placed a bet if the player:

(i)pushes chips or plaques forward to indicate the intent of placing a bet;

(ii)releases chips or plaques into the pot; or

(8)It shall be the dealer’s responsibility to ensure that no player touches any of the chips or plaques once such chips or plaques are placed into the pot.

(9)Unless a raise has been announced orally by a player, such player who puts into the pot a single chip that is larger than required is assumed only to have called the preceding bet and to be awaiting change from the dealer.

(10)Unless specifically posted to the contrary, a player shall be permitted to raise after the player has previously checked in a betting round.

(6)The dealer shall use the procedures set forth in this paragraph when dealing the game of poker.

The cards held by the dealer shall, at all times, be held in front of the dealer, as level as possible and over the poker table. If during a round of play, the deck must be set down to handle a transaction, the dealer shall place a lammer on top of the deck until the transaction has been completed.

(v)At the completion of a round of play, the dealer shall award the pot to the winning player or players after a showdown or to the last remaining player if all other players have folded.

(b)If a tie exists between two or more players for the highest-ranking high hand, the high hand share of the pot shall be divided equally among the tied players.

(c)If a tie exists between two or more players for the highest-ranking low hand, the low hand share of the pot shall be divided equally among the tied players.

(12)In seven-card stud high-low split poker and seven-card stud high-low split eight or better poker, an ace may be used concurrently as a low card to satisfy a low hand and as a high card to satisfy a high hand.

The next betting round shall commence with the option to bet or check belonging to the first player immediately following the button who has not folded. Each subsequent player may, in clockwise rotation, fold, call, raise the bet or, if preceding players have not made a bet, make an opening bet or check. The betting round shall be considered complete when each player has either folded or called in response to the most recent bet.

(8)Upon completion of the betting round required by paragraph (7) of this subdivision, the dealer shall again burn the top card of the deck and then deal a fourth community card face up in the center of the table.

(i)in high poker, the player with the highest-ranking five-card high poker hand; or

(ii)in high-low split eight or better poker, the player with the highest-ranking five-card high poker hand and the player with the highest-ranking five-card low poker hand, subject to the provisions of paragraph (7) of this subdivision, who shall divide the pot equally.

(a)If a pot cannot be divided equally, the excess amount, which shall not exceed $1, shall be given to the player with the highest-ranking high hand.

(7)In Omaha high-low split-eight-or-better poker, a low hand shall occur when three cards with a value of eight or less are present in the community cards. In the event that the community cards do not have a value of eight or less, the entire pot shall be awarded to the player with the highest-ranking high poker hand. Straights and flushes do not count against players for low hand requirements.

(8)The following shall apply only in Omaha high-low split-eight-or-better poker:

(i)a player may form two different hands of five cards each, enabling that player to contend for both the high hand and low hand share of the pot;

(ii)a player may use the same five-card grouping to make a high hand and a low hand; and

(iii)an ace may be used concurrently as a low card to satisfy a low hand and as a high card to satisfy a high hand.

(9)In Omaha high-low split-eight-or-better poker, an optional kill or half-kill may be offered. A kill lammer, indicating the kill or half-kill is in effect, shall be placed in front of the player who wins the entire pot in the hand, provided that the amount of the pot is in excess of an established dollar amount or multiple of the minimum permissible wager for the hand, as determined by the gaming facility. In the succeeding hand, the player shall be required to place no more than one blind bet in the amount of the increased permissible minimum wager for the hand, notwithstanding that the player may be required to place a blind bet to initiate the first round of betting pursuant to paragraph (5) of this subdivision. Any other player required to place a blind bet to initiate the first round of betting shall be required to place a blind bet in accordance with the posted table game rules. If, in the succeeding hand, a qualifying pot is not split between one player winning the high hand and another player winning the low hand, the kill lammer shall be moved in front of the player who wins the entire pot for that hand. The kill or half-kill shall remain in effect until a pot does not qualify in amount or a pot is split between a player winning the high hand and a player winning the low hand. Once a pot does not qualify in amount or is split between two players, the dealer shall collect the kill lammer.
