New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 13 - LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY › Chapter 69F - RULES OF THE GAMES › Subchapter 36 - TRIPLE ATTACK BLACKJACK › Section 13:69F-36.7 - Procedure for dealing the cards

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) All cards
				used at triple attack blackjack shall be dealt from a dealing shoe specifically
				designed for such purpose and located on the table to the left of the
				dealer.
(b) The dealer shall remove
				cards from the shoe with his or her left hand, turn them face upwards, and then
				place them on the appropriate area of the layout with his or her right hand,
				except that the dealer has the option to deal hit cards to the first two
				betting positions with his or her left hand.
(c) After the full set of cards is placed in
				the shoe, the dealer shall remove the first card therefrom face downwards and
				place it in the discard rack, which shall be located on the table immediately
				to the right of the dealer. Each new dealer who comes to the table shall also
				burn one card as described in this subsection before the new dealer deals any
				cards to the players. The burn card shall be disclosed if requested by a
				player.
(d) To commence each round
				of play, all players shall make a first attack wager in the area marked "First
				Attack," and shall be afforded the opportunity to place a suited royals wager
				in the area marked "Suited Royals" and a triple match wager in the area marked
				"Triple Match." After all players have placed a first attack wager and optional
				bonus wagers, the dealer shall deal a card face up to each player.
(e) The dealer shall then offer all players
				the opportunity to place an additional wager or second attack wager in the area
				marked "Second Attack" in an amount equal to the player's first attack wager.
				After the dealer has offered all players the opportunity to place a second
				attack wager and each player has placed or declined to place such wager, the
				dealer shall deal a card to himself or herself face up.
(f) The dealer shall then offer all players
				the opportunity to place a third wager or third attack wager in the area marked
				"Third Attack" in an amount equal to the player's first attack wager. A player
				may place a third attack wager regardless of whether the player placed a second
				attack wager. After the dealer has offered all players the opportunity to place
				a third attack wager and each player has place or decline to place such wager,
				the dealer shall deal a second card face up to each player and a second card
				face down to the dealer.
(g) After
				two cards have been dealt to each player and the dealer, the dealer shall with
				each player, beginning from his or her left announce the point total of each
				player and, if a player has placed either a suited royal wager or a triple
				match wager, determine and announce whether such wager(s) qualify for a payout
				in accordance with
				13:69F-36.6. The dealer shall pay
				all winning bonus wagers and collect all losing bonus wagers. As each player's
				point total is announced, such player shall indicate whether he or she wishes
				to stand, draw, double down, or splitting pairs, as provided for by this
				subchapter.
(h) As each player
				indicates his or her decisions, the dealer shall deal face upwards whatever
				additional cards are necessary to effectuate such decisions consistent with
				this subchapter and shall announce the new point total of such player after
				each additional card is dealt. If a player has been dealt blackjack or 21 in
				three or more cards, the dealer shall pay the attack wagers for that hand when
				the point total is announced.
(i)
				After the decisions of each player have been implemented and all additional
				cards have been dealt, any additional cards authorized to be dealt to the hand
				of the dealer by
				13:69F-36.11 shall be dealt face
				upwards at this time, after which the dealer shall announce his or her point
				total. In lieu of the requirements of this subsection, one of the procedures
				set forth in (k) below may be implemented.
(j) 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 they can be readily arranged to indicate each player's
				hand in case of question or dispute. The dealer shall pick up the cards
				beginning with those of the player to his or her far right and moving
				counterclockwise around the table. After all the players' cards have been
				collected, the dealer shall pick up his or her cards against the bottom of the
				players' cards and place them in the discard rack.
(k) In lieu of the procedure set forth in (c)
				and (i) above, a casino licensee may permit the dealer to deal his or her hole
				card face downward after a second card and before additional cards are dealt to
				the players; provided, however, that the dealer shall not look at the face of
				the hole card until after all other cards requested by the players pursuant to
				those regulations are dealt to them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a casino
				licensee elects to utilize a card reader device and the dealer's first card
				dealt face up is an ace, king, queen or jack of any suit, the dealer shall
				determine whether the hole card will give the dealer a blackjack prior to
				dealing any additional cards to the players at the table. The dealer shall
				insert the hole card into the card reader device by moving the card face down
				on the layout without exposing it to anyone, including the dealer, at the
				table. If the dealer has a blackjack, no additional cards shall be dealt and
				each player's wager(s) shall be settled in accordance with
				13:69F-36.5 and 36.6, as
				applicable. Any casino licensee using this alternate dealing procedure shall
				provide notice thereof.
(
l
) Whenever the cutting
				card is reached in the deal of the cards, the dealer shall continue dealing the
				cards until that round of play is completed, after which the dealer shall:
1. Collect the cards as provided in (j)
				above;
2. Remove the cards
				remaining in the shoe and place them in the discard rack to ensure that no
				cards are missing; and
3. Shuffle
				the cards.
