				poker may be played only on tables equipped with the necessary electronic
				equipment and signage, and are designated by the licensee for the play of
				Caribbean stud poker. A single deck of cards shall be used. player's do not
				play against other player's. Each player may play only one hand following each
				shuffle of the deck;

				player must make an ante wager by placing the wager in the designated ante
				wagering area in front of the player's position;
(3) Each player may place an additional,
				optional wager by placing a wager in the designated coin sensor in front of the
				player's ante;
(4) The optional
				wager allows the player to participate in play for a progressive jackpot. A
				player wins a progressive jackpot award if the player has made the optional
				wager and holds a hand having a value of flush or better. Multiple Caribbean
				stud poker games may be linked together with a common progressive jackpot;
(5) Once all player's place their
				bets, the dealer will press the appropriate button on the keypad. The sensors
				will then light up, indicating a progressive wager. The dealer then follows
				house procedures for dealing the regular game;
(6) The terms jackpot, jackpot award, and
				progressive jackpot as used in this section shall apply to Caribbean stud poker
				only;
(7) A licensee may not
				discontinue offering a Caribbean stud poker jackpot until the highest
				progressive jackpot award has been won by a qualified player or player's. If a
				licensee wishes to discontinue offering a progressive jackpot award, the
				licensee may petition the executive secretary for permission to either reduce
				the qualifications or criteria for winning the award, allowing the award to be
				paid more quickly, or to transfer the award liability to the jackpot offered by
				a different game. If a retail licensee intends to close its business while
				having a progressive jackpot award liability, the licensee may petition the
				executive secretary for permission to transfer the award liability, together
				with the award fund, to another retail licensee offering a comparable jackpot
				award;

				delivered as a wager shall be placed on the ante only, and may not exceed the
				value of the player's ante. The dealer may not accept a tip wager on the bet
				area;

				commencement of play and after each round of play has been completed, the
				dealer shall shuffle the cards. Following shuffle and cut, the dealer deals
				five cards to each player and to the dealer, either face downward and one at a
				time in clockwise rotation among the player's and the dealer, or in a five-card
				group dispensed by a mechanical shuffling device. The first player to receive a
				card, or cards, is the player to the left of the dealer; the dealer receives
				cards last. The fifth card dealt to the dealer, which shall be the bottom card
				of the group of cards dispensed by the shuffling device, shall be dealt or
				turned face up. After all cards have been dealt, the dealer shall place the
				remaining cards into the discard rack without exposing the cards;
(10) An incorrect number of cards dealt to
				any player constitutes a dead hand for that player only. The player receiving
				the misdealt cards retains the player's ante and any bet. An incorrect number
				of cards dealt to the dealer constitutes a misdeal to the table and the
				player's may play their hands for the purposes of the progressive jackpot only.
				If there are no progressive jackpot hands, all hands at the table are dead and
				the player's retain their antes and bets;
(11) The player now picks up the player's
				cards and must decide either to fold (surrender ante) or to bet (bet equals two
				times ante). If the player:
(a) Folds, the
				ante wager is lost. In any player order, the dealer collects first the ante and
				then the cards from each player who has folded. As the cards are collected, the
				dealer shall spread the cards, count the cards, and then place the cards in the
				discard rack; or
(b) Plays the
				hand, the player must make an additional wager, equal to exactly twice the
				amount of the ante, by placing the wager in the bet area, behind the ante, in
				front of the player's position;
