(a) A casino
				licensee may, in its discretion, offer to every player at a blackjack table the
				option to make either two or three separate wagers on the outcome of the
				players hand against either two or three separate hands of the dealer which
				shall be formed with the dealer's original face up card, provided that the
				casino licensee complies with the notice requirements set forth in
				13:69F-8.3 prior to withdrawing
				the offer of this option. This option may not be used at any blackjack table
				which offers the progressive blackjack wager authorized by
				13:69F-2.19, the blackjack bonus
				wager authorized by
				13:69F-2.20, the streak wager
				authorized by
				13:69F-2.22, the match-the-dealer
				wager authorized by
				13:69F-2.23, the 20 point bonus
				wager authorized by
				13:69F-2.24, the optional bonus
				wager authorized by
				13:69F-2.25, or the in-between
				wager authorized by 13:69F-2.26.
(b) Prior to the first card being dealt for
				the first of the three rounds of play, each player shall be required to make
				two or three wagers against the dealer as required by
				13:69F-2.3(a) and
				(d) by placing the wagers in the designated
				betting areas on the layout. A casino licensee may, in its discretion, require
				every player to place a wager against all three of the dealer's hands. The
				minimum number of wagers required and the minimum and maximum limits for each
				wager shall be posted at the table in accordance with
				13:69F-8.3.
(c) After all wagers have been placed, the
				dealer shall deal the cards in accordance with
				13:69F-2.6(e). As
				each player's point total is announced, the player shall indicate whether he
				wishes to double down, split pairs, stand or draw as provided for by this
				subchapter, except that a decision to double down or split pairs shall require
				an additional wager for each wager placed by the player in accordance with (b)
				above.
(d) Any player may elect to
				make an insurance wager pursuant to
				13:69F-2.9 on any or all of his or
				her wagers made in accordance with (b) above. Such wager or wagers shall be
				decided individually based on the second card dealt to each of the dealer's
				hands.
(e) After the decisions of
				all players have been implemented and all additional cards have been dealt, the
				dealer shall deal a second card to his or her original face up card in
				accordance with
				13:69F-2.6(h) 
				and any additional cards required by
				13:69F-2.12(b).
(f) Once all wagers on the dealer's first
				hand have been decided, the dealer shall collect all losing wagers and pay off
				all winning wagers based on wagers placed in the first spot of each player's
				betting area, except that all of a player's wagers shall be collected along
				with his or her cards when that player's hand exceeds a hard total of 21. The
				dealer shall collect all of his or her cards and place them face down in the
				discard rack in accordance with one of the following:
1. If the hand of each player at the table
				has exceeded a hard total of 21, the dealer shall draw no additional cards
				pursuant to
				13:69F-2.12 and the dealer shall
				collect all of his or her cards including his or her original face up card;
				or
2. If a wager remains on the
				second or third spot of a player's betting area, the dealer shall then collect
				all of his or her cards except his or her original face up card.
