(3) Whenever the cards have been dropped or otherwise mishandled.
(4) Whenever instructed to do so by the table game supervisor or higher ranking casino official.
(5) At no time will the dealer shuffle at the request of a player unless authorized to do so by a table games supervisor or higher ranking casino official.
(b) The dealer is to maintain physical and visual contact with the deck at all times while the deck is out of the shoe; however, the cards shall be placed back in the dealer’s shoe for commencement of play.
(c) A card shall be burned for the following reasons:
(1) After a shuffle of the cards.
(2) A card has been exposed or dealt by mistake unless the card was exposed or dealt by mistake to the player who acts immediately prior to the dealer.

(d) All cards shall be dealt from a dealing shoe secured to and located on the extreme left-hand side of the table.
(e) All players’ cards should be delivered face up, starting on the dealer’s left and continuing clockwise around the table.
(f) After each player has received one card, the dealer shall take one card face down. A second card should be dealt to each player face up and the dealer’s final card will be dealt face up. The card should be placed underneath the first card which is now turned face up and should cover the hole card in such a way that no part of that card is visible.
(g) A player may elect to double down with any initial two cards, and bet up to the amount of his original bet on the condition that only one additional card shall be dealt to the player.
(h) The additional chips for the double-down bet should be placed next to the original wager before the double down card is dealt.
(i) The double down card will be exposed and placed across the two cards involved, in such a manner as to keep the number exposed on the player’s second card.
(j) When paying double down bets, the bet is not combined into one stack and the stack is not sized into the other stack. The dealer is not permitted to move the player’s bet with chips in the dealer’s hand.
(k) Whenever the initial two cards to a player are of the same face value, the player may elect to split the cards into two separate hands, provided that the player makes a bet equal to the original bet. The following rules apply to splitting cards:
(1) After splitting, the first hand will receive a card. This hand will be completed by either hitting again or staying before the next hand is dealt to.
(2) The second hand will receive a card. This hand will be completed by either hitting again or staying before moving on to the next hand.
(3) A player may split up to three times excluding aces which may only be split once. When aces are split, the player will only receive one card per ace.
(l) The dealer will ask if any player wishes to place an insurance bet when the dealer’s card dealt face up is an ace.
(m) Insurance is a separate bet. The player is betting that the dealer has blackjack. If the dealer does not have blackjack, then the player loses the player’s insurance bet.
(n) The player can take insurance for any amount up to one-half of the original bet.
(o) The insurance bet shall be placed on the insurance line on the table layout.
(p) The dealer will then verbally close the time for accepting insurance bets.

(r) If the player’s hand is a blackjack and the dealer’s card dealt face up is an ace, the player can announce even money and be paid the amount of the player’s bet.
(s) Players may insure a toke bet and the bet is handled by the same procedure as any other insurance bet.

(u) All blackjacks will be paid at odds of 3 to 2. The dealer shall pay the player having a blackjack during the normal course of the dealer’s take and pay procedures. If the dealer and a player have blackjack, the player’s bet will be a tie.
(v) If the dealer looks at the dealer’s hole card and fails to recognize the fact the dealer has a blackjack, the dealer’s hand will be played as a total of 21 only, and not as a blackjack. A player that doubles down or splits will receive back any additional wagers made after their initial wager.
(w) Any player’s hand that exceeds a total of 21 has broke or busted and their hand loses.
(x) If the dealer has a card dealt face up with the value of ten, the dealer will use the peeking device built into the gaming table to check to see if the dealer has a blackjack. If the dealer has an ace dealt face up, the dealer shall offer an insurance wager to all players at the table. After all players have either made or declined to make an insurance wager the dealer will use the peeking device built into the gaming table to check to see if the dealer has a blackjack.
(y) If the dealer has a blackjack all losing bets will be collected and all blackjacks will tie.
(z) If the dealer does not have blackjack the hand will continue as normal.
(aa) A card found turned upwards in the shoe shall not be used in that game and shall be placed in the discard rack.
(bb) A card drawn in error without its face being exposed shall be used as though it were the next card from the shoe.
(cc) After the initial two cards have been dealt to each player and a card is drawn in error and exposed to the players, such card shall be burned or placed in the discard rack and will not be offered to any player or to the dealer unless the card was exposed or dealt by mistake to the player who acts immediately prior to the dealer. In that case, if the card is needed by the dealer to complete the dealer’s hand, then the card shall be retained by the dealer. If the card is not needed by the dealer to complete the dealer’s hand, then the card shall be burned.
(dd) If the dealer has a point total of a hard seventeen or more and accidentally draws a card for the dealer, such card shall be burned.
(ee) If the dealer misses dealing his first or second card to the dealer, the dealer shall continue dealing the first two cards to each player, and then deal the appropriate number of cards to the dealer.
(ff) If there are insufficient cards remaining to complete a round of play, all of the cards in the discard rack shall be shuffled and cut, the first card shall be drawn face down and burned, and the dealer shall complete the round of play.
(gg) If no cards or only one card is dealt to a player’s hand, the hand is dead and the player shall be included in the next deal.
(hh) If any card is dealt and an error occurs, at no time will any card be backed up as a result of the error.
(ii) If a dispute occurs because of a mistake during a hand, the table games supervisor or higher ranking casino official shall be authorized to declare that all or part of the hand is void and can return any disputed money.

(1) A “flush,” which means three cards of the same suit;
(2) A “straight,” which means three cards of consecutive rank, with the ranking of cards from lowest to highest being 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, king, and ace, except that an ace can also be used with a 2 and 3 to make a straight;

(2) If the dealer has a potential blackjack, the dealer will then check the dealer’s hole card;
(3) If the dealer has a blackjack, the player will not have the option of adding to their blackjack wager; and,
