Dealer Bust 21 is a variation of the game of blackjack where
the player bets that the dealer will bust. Dealer Bust 21 may only be played
according to the following rules:
(1)
The Dealer Bust 21 (DB21) table layout is identical to a standard blackjack
layout with an additional but separate and distinct:
(a) Betting spot added to the upper right
hand side of the standard blackjack betting spot; and
(b) A box the size and shape of a playing
card located at the spot where the dealer places the up card when the bottom
card is exposed. This box shall be labeled up card;
(2) DB21 wagers may only be made if a regular
blackjack bet is made;
(3) DB21
wagers are made by placing chips in the DB21 betting spot located on the right
hand side of the blackjack betting spot;
(4) All DB21wagers shall be made prior to the
first card of each round being dealt. Any wager made after that is considered
no bet and returned to the person who made it;
(5) DB21 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 DB21 wager then the standard blackjack procedures apply;
(8) If a player has a DB21 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 DB21 bet. This action prevents the
dealer from paying a DB21 bet that was past-posted or inadvertently placed too
early for the next hand;
(9) If the
dealer's hand does not bust, all DB21 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 DB21 bets
beginning in a counter-clockwise order, if a player has both a blackjack bet
and a DB21 bet remaining, the blackjack bet shall be paid first and the DB21
bet shall be 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 DB21 wager, the dealer's hand
must be played out according to the house rules;
(12) DB21 wagers shall be paid in accordance
with one of the following pay tables:
