Buster blackjack is a variation of blackjack which may only
be played on tables designated by the licensee for the play of Buster
blackjack. The game shall be dealt and played following the standard rules of
blackjack in this chapter, except as follows:
(1) Buster blackjack features a side bet that
allows the player to bet that the dealer will bust. Buster blackjack may be
dealt using one to eight decks of cards. Prior to the dealing of any cards, all
players shall make a mandatory blackjack wager up to the posted table limit. In
addition to the blackjack wager, the player also has the option to make a "
Buster blackjack" side bet. The side bet allows the player to win odds if the
dealer's hand busts;
(2) After all
bets have been made, the dealer deals himself or herself and each player two
cards. The dealer shall expose one of the dealer's cards as the up card. Each
player then plays out the hand according to the standard rules of
blackjack;
(3) If the dealer does
not or cannot have a blackjack and the player has a blackjack, the player is
paid and the player's cards are put away. The Buster blackjack bet remains in
action whether or not the player busts or is dealt a blackjack;
(4) After all players have made their
decisions, the dealer reveals the dealer's hole card and plays out the hand. If
the dealer busts, the dealer must pay all the Buster blackjack side bets
according to the posted buster blackjack pay table. The payoff odds vary with
the number of cards in the dealer's busted hand. The more cards in the dealer's
busted hand the higher the payoff. If the dealer does not bust, the dealer
collects all Buster blackjack bets;
(5) If there are no blackjack bets remaining
as each player has busted out or received a blackjack, the dealer must complete
the dealer's hand, if the hand is not 17 or greater, as long as there is any
buster side bet; and
(6) Lammers
may be used in one of the following ways:
(a)
The dealer shall place a lammer on top of the side bets after the players have
placed their side bets and before the dealer deals a card to any player;
or
(b) The dealer shall place a
lammer on top of the side bets after the players receive a blackjack or after
they bust;
(7) If
lammers are used the lammers must be removed by the dealer when either of the
following occurs:
(a) The dealer does not
bust and collects all of the Buster blackjack side bets; or
(b) The dealer busts and pays all of the
Buster blackjack side bets.
The dealer shall place the lammers in front of the side bet
area between each hand;
(8) Buster blackjack wagers shall be paid in
accordance with one of the following pay tables:
