New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 13 - LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY › Chapter 69F - RULES OF THE GAMES › Subchapter 11 - PAI GOW POKER › Section 13:69F-11.8D - Dragon's eye variation; supplemental dealing procedure

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Upon
				shaking the pai gow shaker, but prior to dealing the cards in accordance with
				this subchapter, the dealer shall remove the lid covering the pai gow shaker
				and examine the number showing on the dragon's eye die. The dealer shall
				announce the number on the dragon's eye die, and whether one or more of the
				supplemental wagers in the dragon's eye variation have won. The dealer shall
				then place a marker or button (dragon's eye button) visually distinguishable
				from that being used for designating the bank at the player position
				represented by the number on the dragon's eye die.
(b) Following the placement of the dragon's
				eye button, the dealer shall from his or her right to left collect all losing
				supplemental wagers in the dragon's eye variation and pay all such winning
				wagers in accordance with the odds set forth at
				13:69F-11.19. The pai gow shaker
				shall remain uncovered until all winning wagers have been paid.
(c) If the dice shake results in all three
				dice having the same numeric value (triple), then the player who received the
				dragon's eye button in accordance with (a) above shall be the shaker of the
				dice for the next round of play, upon which the outcome of any dice bonus
				wagers are determined, provided that the player has placed a dice bonus wager.
				If the player has not placed a dice bonus wager, the dealer shall be
				responsible for the shaking of the dice for the next round of play. Following
				each triple rolled, the dealer shall place a second button adjacent to the
				dragon's eye button that corresponds to the number of triples rolled (1, 2, or
				3).
(d) Except for any pending dice
				bonus wagers, after all the supplemental wagers in the dragon's eye variation
				have been settled and the shaker of the dice for the ensuing round of play has
				been determined, the dealer shall then distribute the pai gow poker cards first
				to the player having the dragon's eye button at his or her location and proceed
				to deal the game in accordance with the dealing procedures provided in this
				subchapter. In lieu of the procedures for determining the starting position for
				dealing the cards as set forth in this subsection, a casino licensee may elect
				to determine the starting position for dealing the cards in accordance with the
				procedures set forth in
				13:69F-11.10.
(e) The dealer shall shake the dice five
				times and, if the player identified in (a) above has a pending dice bonus
				wager, pass the shaker to the player. The player shall shake the dice in the
				shaker and pass the shaker back to the dealer who shall remove the lid. If
				there is no player at that player position or if there is a player at that
				player position who has not placed a dice bonus wager, the dealer shall retain
				the dice.
(f) Any player who gains
				the opportunity to shake the dice may choose to have the dealer shake the dice
				for that player.
