111-301-79. Play and payouts. (a) Before play begins, all cards shall either be shuffled by an automatic shuffling device or manually shuffled by the dealer. If manually shuffled, after the cards have been shuffled, the dealer shall offer the stack of cards to a player to be cut. The player may cut the cards by placing a cutting card provided by the dealer. The cut card shall be placed in the stack so there are no fewer than approximately 52 cards on either side of the cut card.
(b) Before any cards are dealt, each player wishing to participate in that round of play must place a blackjack wager within the limits posted at the table and may make an optional Push 22 side wager.
(c) At the commencement of each round of play, the dealer shall deal one card to the dealer face down, and then starting on the dealer’s left and continuing around the table, deal the cards in the following order:
(1) One card face upwards to each spot on the table game layout in which a wager is contained; and
(2) One additional card face down to the dealer, at which time the dealer shall turn the dealer’s first card face up and place it on top of the dealer’s second card.
(d) Whenever the first card dealt to the dealer is an ace, each player shall have the right to make an insurance bet which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall win 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. An insurance bet may be made by placing on the insurance line of the table game layout an amount up to one-half the amount bet on the player’s original blackjack wager.
(e) If the dealer’s face up card is an ace, king, queen, jack or 10, then using the peeking device at the table, the dealer will then check the dealer’s second card to determine if it constitutes a blackjack. If the dealer has a blackjack, the dealer will turn the dealer’s first card face up, collect all original blackjack wagers and Push 22 wagers, and pay all insurance wagers at odds of two to one, at which time that round of play is over.
(f) If the dealer does not have a blackjack, the dealer will collect all losing insurance wagers. Beginning with the player to the dealer’s left, the dealer shall then have each player indicate whether the player wishes to stand by maintaining their current hand, hit by requesting an additional card or double down by wagering any amount up to double their most recent blackjack wager. This process shall be repeated until the player stands or the cumulative point value of the player’s hand exceeds 21. If the player’s first card is an ace, the player shall only receive one additional card. If the player’s hand constitutes a blackjack, no double down is allowed. No splitting of pairs is permitted.
(g) If the player’s hand constitutes a blackjack, the player shall immediately be paid at odds of three to two.
(h) As each player indicates the player’s decision(s), the dealer shall deal face upwards additional cards, if any, necessary to effectuate such decision.
(i) If the cumulative point value of a player’s hand exceeds 21, the player’s blackjack wager shall be collected, the dealer shall remove that player’s cards from the table game layout and that player shall not participate further in that round of play, except a Push 22 wager made by that player shall remain in play and will be settled at the appropriate time.
(j) After the decision(s) of each player has been implemented and all additional cards have been dealt, the dealer shall turn the dealer’s second card face up. If needed, the dealer shall then draw additional cards to the dealer’s hand face up until the dealer has:
(1) A hard total of 17, 18, 19, 20, or 21, whichever comes first; or
(2) A soft total of 18, 19, 20, or 21, whichever comes first.
(k) All remaining wagers shall then be settled as follows:
(1) If the cumulative point value of the dealer’s hand is less than the player’s hand or if the cumulative point value of the dealer’s hand exceeds 21, the player’s blackjack wager shall be paid at the odds of one to one;
(2) If the cumulative point value of the of the player’s hand is less than the dealer’s hand and the dealer’s hand has a cumulative point value of 21 or less, the player’s hand shall lose, and the dealer shall collect the player’s blackjack wager;
(3) If the cumulative point values of the dealer’s and player’s hands are equal, the hands will be a push and the player’s blackjack wager will be returned to the player; and
(4) If the cumulative point value of the dealer’s hand is anything other than 22, each Push 22 wager shall lose, and the wagers shall be collected by the dealer. If the cumulative point value of the dealer’s hand is exactly 22, the dealer shall pay each Push 22 wager at odds of eleven to one.
