(a) A casino
				licensee may, in its discretion, offer players at a blackjack table the option
				to make an additional wager that, when "ranking" the initial two cards dealt to
				the player, one card will have a rank higher than and one card will have a rank
				lower than the first face up card dealt to the dealer (the rank of the dealer's
				card is "in-between").
(b)
				Notwithstanding the value assigned to each card in
				13:69F-2.2(b),
				the rank of each card for purposes of determining a winning in-between wager,
				in order of lowest to highest rank, shall be: two, three, four, five, six,
				seven, eight, nine, 10, jack, queen, king, and ace.
(c) An in-between wager shall have no bearing
				on any other wager made by a player at the game of blackjack.
(d) Prior to the first card being dealt for
				each round of play, each player who has placed a blackjack wager in compliance
				with 13:69F-2.3(a) 
				may make an in-between wager by placing gaming chips, plaques or, if
				applicable, a match play coupon on the appropriate area of the blackjack
				layout, except that a verbal wager accompanied by cash may be accepted provided
				that it is confirmed by the dealer and casino supervisor at the table prior to
				the first card being dealt to any player and such cash is expeditiously
				converted into gaming chips or plaques. The minimum and maximum in between
				wagers permitted by a casino licensee shall be posted in accordance with
				13:69F-8.3.
(e) The dealer shall then announce "No more
				bets" and deal the initial two cards to all players and the dealer in
				accordance with
				13:69F-2.6(e), (j), or
				(k). Prior to any additional cards being
				dealt to any player at the table and before any card reader device is utilized,
				the dealer shall, starting with the player farthest to his or her right and
				continuing counterclockwise around the table, settle in succession all
				in-between wagers by collecting all losing wagers and paying all winning wagers
				in accordance with (f) below.
