Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
STREAK blackjack must be dealt and played following the
				  standard rules of blackjack as listed in this chapter, except as
				  follows:
(1) STREAK is a patented
				variation of blackjack where the player may place one or more optional wagers
				that the player will win two, three, four, or five consecutive blackjack hands.
				STREAK may only be played on tables equipped with the STREAK signage, STREAK
				table layout, and STREAK lammer for each player position;
(2) Prior to the start of each round of
				blackjack, in addition to the standard blackjack wager, each player is afforded
				the opportunity to place one or more STREAK wagers by placing a wager on one or
				more of the designated STREAK spots, numbered two through five located at each
				player position;
(3) If a player
				has placed a STREAK wager and wins the blackjack hand, the dealer must place a
				lammer on top of the STREAK spot labeled "2" indicating that the player is
				going for a second consecutive win;
(4) If a player wins the next consecutive
				blackjack hand and has a STREAK wager on number "2", the dealer must first pay
				the blackjack wager, then pay the STREAK wager and then advance the lammer to
				the "3" STREAK wager spot, indicating that the player is going for a third
				consecutive win;
(5) With each
				consecutive winning blackjack hand, the dealer shall first pay the blackjack
				wager, then the STREAK wager and then advance the lammer to the next highest
				STREAK wager spot until the player either loses a hand or wins the last of the
				pending STREAK wagers, thereby completing the STREAK pendency. At such point
				each player's lammer is returned to the tray at the end of the player's STREAK
				wager spots;
(6) If a player loses
				a blackjack hand all pending STREAK wagers are lost;
(7) The "2", "3", "4", and "5" STREAK wagers
				have independent outcomes. A STREAK payoff is made only when the lammer is on
				top of a STREAK wager and the player has a winning blackjack hand which
				indicates that the player has won that specific STREAK bet;
(8) A blackjack hand resulting in a push will
				not win or lose a STREAK wager;
(9)
				A player having split blackjack hands must win the majority of the hands to
				advance a STREAK wager. If a player loses more split hands than the player
				wins, the STREAK wager is lost. If a player equally wins and loses the same
				number of split hands, the STREAK wager is neither advanced nor lost;
(10) Once a STREAK wager is placed, no other
				STREAK wagers may be placed until the player wins or loses all pending STREAK
				wagers;
(11) A player may not sit
				out any hand with a STREAK wager pending. If a player fails to complete any
				hand in the pendency when STREAK wagers are placed, all STREAK bets are
				forfeited to the house;
(12) A
				player may choose to take an even money option with any STREAK wagers pending
				if the player has blackjack. When players choose this option, the dealer shall
				first pay the blackjack wager. The dealer then stacks the player's cards and
				turns the cards sideways, indicating that a decision must be made for STREAK
				before completion of insurance procedures. The dealer then takes insurance bets
				before determining the outcome of STREAK wagers. If both the dealer and player
				have blackjack, it is a push for STREAK wagers. If the dealer does not have
				blackjack, the STREAK lammer is advanced. A player's card is burned after the
				STREAK outcome has been determined;
(13) STREAK wagers are not affected by any
				insurance bet;
(14) A player
				exercising the surrender option shall lose any STREAK wager;
(15) The dealer is responsible for rotating
				the STREAK lammer and aligning the edgespot with the matching mark on the
				layout each time a lammer is advanced;
(16) Each STREAK lammer must be accounted for
				and kept in the rack when not utilized;
(17) A player may place STREAK wagers for the
				dealer, provided the player has at least one STREAK wager pending. Tip wagers
				are paid at the same rate as the player's STREAK wager. STREAK tip wagers must
				be paid immediately after payment of the player's STREAK wager;
(18) A separate minimum-maximum wager amount
				may be used for STREAK wagers;
(19)
				STREAK wagers must be paid in accordance with the following pay table:
Two Consecutive Winning Hands
3 to 1
Three Consecutive Winning Hands
8 to 1
Four Consecutive Winning Hands
18 to 1
Five Consecutive Winning Hands
38 to 1
(20)
				Each casino offering STREAK blackjack shall have designated areas for the
				placement of STREAK wagers which contain, at a minimum:
(a) Four separate designated wagering areas
				for each player position at the table numbered 2 through 5; and
(b) A mark next to each designated wagering
				area to which the edgespot of the lammer can be matched;
