Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) After the
				dealing procedures required by
				13:69F-16.7, 16.8 or 16.9 have
				been completed but before the dealer exposes the hole cards, each player shall,
				after examining his or her cards, either place a bet wager in the designated
				betting area or fold and forfeit the ante wager. If a player folds, the entire
				ante wager shall be collected by the dealer and placed in the table inventory
				container. A folded hand shall then be immediately collected by the dealer and
				placed in the discard rack.
(b)
				Each player who makes a bet wager shall be responsible for his or her own hand
				and no other person other than the dealer may touch the cards of that player.
				Each player shall be required to keep the five cards in full view of the dealer
				at all times. Once each player has examined his or her cards and placed the
				five cards face down on the appropriate area of the layout, the player shall
				not touch the cards again.
(c) No
				player may exchange or communicate information regarding his or her hand prior
				to the dealer revealing the hole cards. Any violation shall result in a
				forfeiture of all wagers on that round by the players communicating.
(d) After all players have either placed a
				bet wager or folded, the dealer shall turn over and reveal the dealer's hole
				cards and set the highest ranking poker hand.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in (g)
				below, after the hole cards are revealed, the dealer shall, starting with the
				player farthest to his or her right, turn over the player's cards and if the
				dealer has a qualifying hand:
1. All losing
				wagers shall immediately be collected by the dealer and placed in the table
				inventory container. All losing hands shall then be immediately collected by
				the dealer and placed in the discard rack. Ante and bet wagers made by a player
				shall lose if the qualifying hand of the dealer has a hand rank which is higher
				than the hand of that player.
2. If
				the hand of the player ties with that of the dealer's qualifying hand, the hand
				of the player shall be a push. The dealer shall not collect or pay the wagers,
				but shall immediately collect the cards of that player after all losing wagers
				and hands have been collected.
3.
				After all losing wagers and pushes have been settled, all winning wagers shall
				be paid. All winning hands shall remain face up on the layout until all winning
				ante, bet wagers and, if applicable, progressive payout wagers are paid.
				Winning wagers shall be paid in accordance with the payout odds listed in
				13:69F-16.12. The dealer shall pay
				all winning wagers beginning with the player farthest to the right of the
				dealer and continuing counterclockwise around the table. Any wager made by a
				player shall win if the hand of the player has a hand rank higher than that of
				the dealer's qualifying hand. After paying all winning ante and bet wagers, the
				dealer shall immediately collect the cards of all winning players and place
				them in the discard rack, together with the remaining cards in the deck used
				for that round of play; provided, however, if a player has won a progressive
				payout which is not being paid from the table inventory container, the cards of
				that player shall remain on the table until the necessary documentation has
				been completed pursuant to the rules of the Division.
