South Dakota Administrative Rules › Title 20 - PUBLIC SAFETY › Article 20:18 - GAMING COMMISSION - DEADWOOD GAMBLING › Chapter 20:18:15 - Blackjack › Section 20:18:15:30.16 - Variations of the play - Bust Bonus

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
Bust Bonus is a variation of the game of blackjack where the
				  player bets that the dealer will bust. Bust Bonus must be played according to
				  the following rules:
(1) The Bust
				Bonus table layout is identical to a standard blackjack layout with an
				additional but separate and distinct betting spot added to the upper right hand
				side of the standard blackjack betting spot;
(2) Bust Bonus wagers may only be made if a
				regular blackjack bet is made;
(3)
				Bust Bonus wagers are made by placing chips in the Bust Bonus betting spot
				located on the right hand side of the blackjack betting spot;
(4) All Bust Bonus wagers shall be made prior
				to the dealer exposing their hole/up card. Any wager made after that is
				considered no bet and returned to the person making the bet. The dealer may, as
				a courtesy announce "any Bust Bonus bets?" or "anymore Bust Bonus bets?" prior
				to the dealer exposing their hole card, however it is the players
				responsibility to place the bet prior to the dealer exposing the hole/up
				card;
(5) Bust Bonus wagers win if
				the dealer's blackjack hand busts;
(6) Payouts are determined by the dealer's
				original up card, all up cards are placed in the box labeled up card, after the
				dealer exposes the bottom card;
(7)
				Once all wagers are made the dealer shall deal the cards according to standard
				blackjack procedures. When all the cards have been dealt the dealer shall
				follow standard blackjack procedures that give each player the option to hit,
				stand, split, or double down. If a player does not have a Bust Bonus wager then
				the standard blackjack procedures apply;
(8) If a player has a Bust Bonus wager and
				busts the player's blackjack hand, the dealer will take the losing blackjack
				bet and pick up the cards. However, instead of putting the cards in the discard
				holder the dealer shall tuck the cards under the Bust Bonus bet. This action
				prevents the dealer from paying a Bust Bonus bet that was past-posted or
				inadvertently placed too early for the next hand;
(9) If the dealer's hand does not bust, all
				Bust Bonus wagers lose and the dealer shall remove the wagers from the layout
				prior to resolving the remaining blackjack hands;
(10) If the dealer's hand busts the dealer
				shall resolve all the remaining blackjack bets and Bust Bonus bets beginning in
				a counter-clockwise order, if a player has both a blackjack bet and a Bust
				Bonus bet remaining, the blackjack bet is paid first and the Bust Bonus bet is
				paid second;
(11) If all of the
				player's blackjack hands have busted leaving only the dealer with live cards
				remaining and there is at least one Bust Bonus wager, the dealer's hand is
				played out according to the house rules;
(12) Bust Bonus wagers shall be paid in
				accordance with one of the following pay tables:
