Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
Bonus 6 must be played according to the following
				  rules:
(1) Bonus 6 may be played only
				on tables designated by the licensee for the play of Bonus 6 poker. A single
				deck of fifty-two cards shall be used. Each player may play one hand following
				each shuffle of the deck. Players do not play against the dealer or against any
				other player, but win if their hands qualify for payment according to the
				payment schedule which shall be displayed on table signage or as a part of the
				table layout. Players may not discuss or expose their hands during
				play;
(2) Before receiving any
				cards, each player must place a wager in the designated "ante" wagering area in
				front of the player's position. The amount of each ante shall be within the
				table limit range to be determined by the retail licensee, and shall be posted
				at the table. If the retail licensee does not require a minimum wager, no table
				signage is required;
(3) At the
				direction of the retail licensee, a player who wishes to tip the dealer by
				making a bet for the dealer shall place the tip next to the player's ante
				wager. At the discretion of the retail licensee, a player may be permitted, but
				is not required, to place an additional tip bet for the dealer each time the
				player makes an additional wager. A tip bet is not required to be in any
				minimum amount, except that the second and third tip bets, if any, shall be in
				amounts equal to the amount of the tip bet on the ante. Dealer tip bets placed
				on winning hands shall be paid at the same odds as players' bets on winning
				hands. No insurance fee or bonus card fee is required or accepted on behalf of
				the dealer as part of the tip;
(4)
				At the same time that the ante wager is placed, each player may pay an optional
				insurance fee by placing one-half the amount of the ante wager in the
				designated "insurance" area in front of the player's position. Payment of the
				insurance fee shall give the player the right to exercise the option to receive
				a bonus sixth card later in the game;
(5) Immediately prior to play, the dealer
				shall shuffle and cut the cards, and shall burn the top card. The dealer shall
				deal two cards to each player, face down, one card at a time in clockwise
				rotation around the table, beginning with the player to the left of the dealer.
				When the final player has received the player's second card, a single card
				shall be dealt to the dealer's position, face down, and serve as a community
				card for all players which the dealer shall then turn face up;
(6) An incorrect number of cards dealt to any
				player constitutes a misdeal with respect to that player only, voiding the
				player's wager(s) and insurance fee. An exposed card does not constitute a
				misdeal. The dealer shall turn the card over and continue to deal. If a
				player's card falls from the table, that player's hand is dead and the player's
				wager(s) and insurance fee is void;
(7) After each player has received and viewed
				the player's first two cards, the player may fold or may play the hand. To
				continue play, the player must place an additional bet equal to the player's
				ante bet. To fold, the player shall discard the player's cards in front of the
				player's position. The dealer collects the cards, the ante wagers, the tip bets
				(if any), and the insurance fees (if any) from the players who have
				folded;
(8) When each wager has
				been placed, the dealer shall then deal a third card to each player. After each
				player has received and viewed the player's third card, the player may fold or
				may play the hand. To continue play, the player must place an additional bet
				equal to the ante bet. To fold, the player shall discard the player's cards in
				front of the player's position. The dealer collects the cards, the wagers, the
				tip bets, and the insurance fees (if any), from the players who have
				folded;
(9) When each wager has
				been placed, the dealer shall then deal a fourth card to each player. After
				each player has received and viewed the player's fourth card, the player shall
				take one of these actions:
(a) A player
				holding a winning hand (a hand qualifying for payment according to the payment
				schedule) shall tuck the player's cards under the final wager. The dealer shall
				collect the insurance fee, if any. A player holding a winning hand may not
				attempt to improve the hand by receiving a sixth card, but must play the
				five-card hand;
(b) A player who
				does not have a winning hand and who did not pay the insurance fee shall
				discard the player's hand in front of the player's position. The dealer shall
				collect the cards, the wagers, and the tip bets (if any) from the players who
				have folded.
(c) A player who does
				not have a winning hand, and who paid the insurance fee but does not wish to
				receive a sixth card, shall discard the player's hand in front of the player's
				position. The dealer shall collect the cards, the wagers, the tip bets, and the
				insurance fees from the players who have folded; or
(d) A player who does not have a winning
				hand, but who paid the insurance fee and wishes to receive a sixth card, shall
				pay a bonus card fee equal to the amount of the ante. The dealer shall instruct
				each player to expose the player's hand, beginning with the player to the
				dealer's left. The dealer shall verify that the hand is not a winning hand, and
				deal a fifth card, face down, to the player. The dealer shall then collect the
				insurance and Bonus 6 fees from the player, and continue in like manner with
				each remaining player at the table. If the dealer determines that a player
				holds a winning five-card hand, including the community card, a fifth card may
				not be dealt to the player, and the dealer shall tuck the player's hand under
				the ante wager. The dealer shall collect the insurance fee from the player and
				shall push the Bonus 6 fee back to the player; and
