if specified in its Rules Submission, offer to each player who has placed a
Midibaccarat wager in accordance with §

option of placing a Harmony Progressive wager, a wager based on the combination
of the player and banker hands.

If the certificate holder offers the Harmony Progressive wager, in addition to

player.

Harmony Progressive wager, the Baccarat table must have a progressive table
game system, in accordance with §

Progressive wager that a player attempts to place after the dealer has
announced "No more bets."

accordance with §
629a.8 (relating to hands of

settle the players' Harmony Progressive wagers while settling the Midibaccarat
wagers and other optional wagers placed by each player.
