(a) A certificate holder may offer players the option to place a 21+3 Dynamic progressive wager, a progressive wager variation of the Three Card Poker side wager authorized under § 633a.6(e)(9) (relating to wagers) with the possibility of randomly increased payouts based upon the results of a random number generator. Unless otherwise specified under this section, the 21+3 Dynamic progressive wager shall follow the rules and procedures of the Three Card Poker wager under § 633a.6(e)(9).

(b) The 21+3 Dynamic progressive wager may be played on a Blackjack table that utilizes four or more decks of cards comprised of 52 cards per deck, as outlined in the paytable selected under subsections (i) and (j).

(c) In addition to the layout requirements under § 633a.2 (relating to Blackjack table; card reader device; physical characteristics; inspections), the Blackjack table must have all of the following:

(1) A progressive table game system, in accordance with § 605a.7 (relating to progressive table games), for the placement of the 21+3 Dynamic progressive wager. If the certificate holder is offering a progressive payout wager on multiple linked tables or games in the same licensed facility, the progressive table game system must comply with the requirements in § 605a.8 (relating to linked progressive table games).

(2) A board-approved random number generator that determines which, if any, of the Dynamic pays shall apply.

(d) The progressive table game system must include all of the following:

(1) A wagering device at each betting position that acknowledges or accepts the placement of the progressive wager.

(3) A device which shall indicate any Dynamic pays which are selected by the random number generator and the potential payout odds that result.

(e) If specified in its Rules Submission form required under § 601a.2 (relating to table games Rules Submissions), a certificate holder may offer to each player who placed a Blackjack wager in accordance with § 633a.6(d) the option of placing a 21+3 Dynamic progressive wager.

(f) After placing a Blackjack wager as required in § 633a.6(d) and any optional wagers, including the 21+3 Dynamic progressive wager, the dealer shall announce "no more bets" and, if the 21+3 Dynamic progressive wager is being offered, use the progressive table game system to prevent the placement of any additional progressive wagers. If any progressive wagers have been made, the dealer shall collect the wagers and, on the layout in front of the table inventory container, verify that the number of value chips wagered equals the number of progressive wagers accepted by the progressive table game system. The dealer shall then place the value chips into the table inventory container.

(g) Following the wager verification under subsection (f), the random number generator shall be initiated and will select between one and three of the winning hand combinations for Dynamic pays. The selected Dynamic pays shall be displayed so as to indicate what increased payout is being awarded for which winning hand combination.

(1) Verify that the hand is a winning hand.

(2) Verify that the appropriate light on the progressive table game system has been illuminated.

(3) Have a floorperson or above validate the progressive payout in accordance with the certificate holder's approved internal control procedures.

(4) Pay the winning 21+3 Dynamic progressive wager in accordance with the payout odds in subsection (i).

If a player has won a progressive payout that is not being paid from the table inventory container, the cards of that player must remain on the table until the necessary documentation has been completed.
