N.J. Admin. Code § 13:69F-10.6A

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 19, October 7, 2024

Section 13:69F-10.6A - Dragon's eye variation; supplemental dealing procedure

(a) Upon shaking the pai gow shaker, but prior to dealing the tiles in accordance with this subchapter, the dealer shall remove the lid covering the pai gow shaker and examine the number showing on the dragon's eye die. The dealer shall announce the number on the dragon's eye die, and whether one or more of the supplemental wagers in the dragon's eye variation have won. The dealer shall then place a marker or button (dragon's eye button) visually distinguishable from that being used for designating the bank at the player position represented by the number on the dragon's eye die.

(b) Following the placement of the dragon's eye button, the dealer shall from his or her right to left collect all losing supplemental wagers in the dragon's eye variation and pay all such winning wagers in accordance with the odds set forth at 13:69F-10.11. The pai gow shaker shall remain uncovered until all winning wagers have been paid.

(c) If the dice shake results in all three dice having the same numeric value (triple), then the player who received the dragon's eye button in accordance with (a) above shall be the shaker of the dice for the next round of play, upon which the outcome of dice bonus wagers are determined, provided that the player has placed a dice bonus wager. If the player has not placed a dice bonus wager, the dealer shall be responsible for the shaking of the dice for the next round of play. Following each triple rolled, the dealer shall place a second button adjacent to the dice wager spot to left of the dealer's inventory container that corresponds to the number of triples rolled (1, 2, or 3).

(d) Except for any pending dice bonus wagers, after all the supplemental wagers in the dragon's eye variation have been settled and the shaker of the dice for the ensuing round of play has been determined, the dealer shall then distribute the pai gow tiles first to the player having the dragon's eye button at his or her location and proceed to deal the game in accordance with the dealing procedures provided in this subchapter. In lieu of the procedures for determining the starting position for dealing the tiles set forth in this subsection, a casino licensee may elect to determine the starting position for dealing the tiles in accordance with the procedures set forth in 13:69F-10.6.

(e) The dealer shall shake the dice five times and, if the player identified in (a) above has a pending dice bonus wager, pass the shaker to the player. The player shall shake the dice in the shaker and pass the shaker back to the dealer who shall remove the lid. If there is no player at that player position or if there is a player at that player position who has not placed a dice bonus wager, the dealer shall retain the dice.

(f) Any player who gains the opportunity to shake the dice may choose to have the dealer shake the dice for that player.
