South Dakota Administrative Rules › Title 20 - PUBLIC SAFETY › Article 20:18 - GAMING COMMISSION - DEADWOOD GAMBLING › Chapter 20:18:16 - Poker › Section 20:18:16:15.07 - The play - Twisted Pineapple poker

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
Twisted Pineapple poker must be played according to the
				  following rules:
(1) Twisted Pineapple
				poker may be played only on tables designated by the licensee for the play of
				Twisted Pineapple poker. A single deck of cards must be used. Players do not
				play against the dealer, but have the option to play against other players.
				Each player may play only one hand following each shuffle of the deck. Winning
				hands are determined and paid according to the payment schedule, which must be
				displayed as part of the table layout;
(2) Each player must make a first bet. An
				ante bet must also be made at one-half the cost of the first bet, but not to
				exceed five dollars. Example: If first bet is $5.00, then ante bet must be
				$2.50. If first bet is $20.00, then ante bet must be $5.00. Where offered, each
				player may place optional bet to play against other players. The monetary
				amount for the optional bet shall be set forth by each individual gaming
				establishment;
(3) Any dealer tip
				delivered as a wager may be placed on the first bet. If a player chooses to
				place a second bet, a dealer tip may also be made at that time. The same
				applies to the river bet. Although a dealer tip is placed on the first bet, any
				subsequent tips bets for the dealer on that round of play is not required to
				complete the player's hand;
(4)
				Immediately before the start of play and after each round of play has been
				completed, the dealer must shuffle the cards. Following the shuffle and cut,
				the dealer deals three cards to each player and two cards to the dealer, either
				face downward and one at a time in clockwise rotation among the players and the
				dealer (the dealer does not receive a card in the third rotation) or in a
				three-card group dispensed by a mechanical shuffling device. The first player
				to receive cards is the player to the left of the dealer; the dealer receives
				cards last. If a mechanical shuffling device which dispenses cards in
				three-card groups has been used, the dealer plays the top two cards of the
				group dealt to the dealer. The bottom card of the three-card group is not
				played and is placed in the discard rack without being viewed. The dealer's
				remaining two cards are used as community cards. After all cards have been
				dealt, the dealer maintains possession of the remainder of the deck;
(5) An incorrect number of cards dealt to a
				player is always a misdeal. An exposed card in a player's hand is not
				considered a misdeal. An exposed community card in front of the dealer
				constitutes a misdeal;
(6) Where
				offered, after a player has chosen to place the optional bet, dealer shall
				start from player to dealer's left and collect optional bet and replace the bet
				with a Twisted Pineapple marker to indicate that the player is eligible to play
				for that pot. All bets collected shall be placed in an area indicated on the
				table layout;
(7) After a player
				has looked at the player's three cards, the player must discard one of the
				three cards that they feel may not help their hand by placing the unwanted card
				under the ante bet;
(8) The dealer
				shall go to each player, from left to right, and collect all ante bets as well
				as all cards that are discarded and place the cards in the discard rack. After
				all players have acted, the first of the dealer's cards is turned up for all
				players to see and to use as a community card;
(9) After the first community card, the
				player may place a second bet to continue with their hand, or fold, and forfeit
				all bets to the house. All wagers forfeited must be immediately collected by
				the dealer and the player's cards must be placed in the discard rack;
(10) After all players have chosen to
				continue with their hand by placing a second bet, the second of the dealer's
				cards is turned up for all players to see and use as a community
				card;
(11) After the second
				community card, the player may place a river bet to continue with their hand,
				or fold, and forfeit all bets to the house. All wagers forfeited must be
				immediately collected by the dealer, and the player's cards must be placed in
				the discard rack;
(12) Once all
				players have chosen to continue with their hand by placing a river bet, the
				dealer shall take a card from the top of the deck and place it in the discard
				rack as the burn card. Each player shall receive one card each, face downward.
				The first player to receive a card is the player to the left of the dealer.
				After all cards have been dealt, the dealer places the remaining cards into the
				discard rack without exposing the cards;
(13) All poker hands are now complete. Dealer
				must expose each hand individually, from left to right, and pay all qualifying
				hands according to the payment schedule; and
(14) Only hands that are bet against other
				players shall be left exposed and may not be collected and discarded. Although
				a hand may not qualify to be paid by the house, it may still be the highest
				hand to win the optional pot bets. Once the highest hand is determined of those
				betting the optional pot, the dealer may proceed to push the pot to the winner
				and discard all hands and start a new game.
The provisions of §
										20:18:16:21 do not apply to
