Bonus Spin blackjack is a standard blackjack game using two, six, or eight decks of cards with an optional bonus spin wager that gives players the opportunity to spin a wheel for a chance to win various fixed dollar amounts or a top prize of an incrementing progressive, fixed dollar amount or a non-cash fixed prize of undetermined amount. The game shall be dealt and played following the standard rules of blackjack in this chapter except as follows:
(1) Before the start of each round of blackjack, each player may place the optional Bonus Spin blackjack wager of one or five dollars on the designated spot on the table layout at the same time the player's primary blackjack wager is made and before any cards are dealt.
- (a) A player has an ace in the first two cards and is paid even money (forfivedollarpaytablesonly); or
- (b) A player has a blackjack in the first two cards, not including splits and is paid the dollar amount or prize won from spinning the wheel at the end of the round;
In order to win on the Bonus Spin side bet:
- (2) After all bets have been placed, the dealer shall press "new game" then "begin game" on the interface to lock in the bets. The dealer shall collect all Bonus Spin wagers ensuring the interface accurately reflects all bets made;
- (3) The dealer then deals all players and the dealer's first two cards;
(4) After the initial two cards are dealt, the dealer shall stop and immediately register on the interface any even money winners with an ace (ifthecasinoisutilizingafivedollarpaytable) or spin winners with a blackjack;
(a) For even money winners, the dealer shall press the appropriate winning number spot one at a time which shall display "even money" on the interface;
- (i) If a player has an ace in the player's first two cards, the player shall be paid even money (ifthecasinoisutilizingafivedollarpaytable). A player shall be paid ten dollars at the beginning of the hand;
- (ii) Tap once on the appropriate winning number spot for any even money winners before payout;
- (iii) These bets are settled immediately after registering the winning number spot into the interface and before the hitting sequence;
(b) For blackjack winners, the dealer shall press the appropriate winning number spot two times which shall display "spin" on the interface;
- (i) When a player has a blackjack, the dealer shall tap the interface twice in the appropriate winning number spot to signify that the player shall spin the wheel at the end of the round. The dealer shall register this into the interface immediately after delivering all players' and the dealer's initial two cards. This signifies that the dealer shall return to the player after the blackjack round is finished. In order for the player to spin the Bonus Spin wheel, the automated button shall be offered to the players from left to right of the dealer, as shown on the interface from position 1 to 6. The player shall be paid the blackjack in normal hitting sequence, but the cards shall be left in front of the player's betting spot and not collected until the player has spun the wheel at the end of the round;
- (ii) After the round is complete, the dealer shall press "proceed to spins" on the interface. Then the dealer shall press "press to enable" and the automated button shall light up and is ready for use. The dealer shall then offer the player the automated button to press to spin the wheel. In order to ensure the button is not mistreated, the dealer shall gently extend the device to the players keeping it in the dealer's hands so that the player simply presses the button as opposed to slamming it;
- (iii) After the player presses the button, the dealer waits to see what dollar amount the spin lands on and pays out the Bonus Spin bet corresponding amount. After the payout the dealer shall press "winner paid" on the interface;
- (iv) When all bets are made for the next round, the dealer shall press "begin game" and the next round shall start by the dealer locking in and collecting all Bonus Spin side bets;
- (c) If the wrong betting spot or the incorrect payout is pressed, the dealer shall tap the spot again until it is cleared or corrected;
- (5) If there are no winners, before the next round, the dealer shall press "new game" on the interface, then "begin game" after all players have made their bets;
- (6) If no Bonus Spin side bets are made, then the game plays as regular blackjack and the dealer does not have to use the interface;
(7) To verify a top prize winner:
- (a) The dealer shall leave the winning hand on the table and call the floor supervisor;
- (b) The floor supervisor shall notify surveillance and the pit manager;
(c) Surveillance shall verify:
- (i) The hand was dealt properly;
- (ii) The Bonus Spin side bet was made;
- (iii) The winning hand is a natural blackjack; and
(iv) The virtual wheel stopped on the top prize.
