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
|

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;
(21) The STREAK lammer shall have distinct
sizing and markings which include, at a minimum:
(a) An edgespot measuring three-quarters of
an inch across by one-quarter of an inch deep, to be mirrored on the backside
of the lammer and run through the edge of the lammer;
(b) Made of a color known as PMS#804U;
and
(c) The STREAK logo and Casino
logo no less than one-eighth of an inch tall;
(22) Each casino shall post a sign approved
by the commission listing the payout odds for STREAK wagers if the payout odds
are not imprinted on the table layout; and
(23) Minimum-maximum wager amounts must be
posted on all tabletop signage.
