Section 20:18:16:15.14 - The play - Mississippi Stud with optional three card bonus

Mississippi Stud must be played according to the following rules:

(1) Mississippi Stud may be played only on tables designated by the licensee for the play of Mississippi Stud. A single deck of cards must be used. The rank of hands in Mississippi Stud, from highest to lowest, is royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, pair of Jacks or better, and a pair of 6's-10's;

(2) Each player must make an initial bet, not to exceed twenty-five dollars, in the amount specified at the table by the retail licensee and must place the bet in front of the player's position in the circle marked Ante. The optional three card bonus wager must be made in the betting spot identified as such and is based on the three community cards only. The optional progressive wager must be made on the sensor in front of the player's position. All wagers are placed to play against the pay schedules listed below in subdivisions (16), (17), and (18);

(3) Any dealer tip delivered as a wager may be placed on the ante hand provided that the player has placed a personal wager on the same hand. If a player continues play with a 3^rd,, 4^th, and 5^th street wager, the dealer's tip ante may remain in play whether or not the player adds a 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th street wager for the dealer. A dealer tip may also be placed with the three card bonus wa -ger;

(4) Immediately before play begins and after each round of play has been completed, the dealer must shuffle the cards. After all players place their bets, the dealer shall press the appropriate button on the keypad. The sensors lock in the bet and light up, indicating a progressive wager. The dealer shall remove all progressive bets from the table. Following shuffle and cut, the dealer deals two cards to each player, either face downward and one at a time in rotation among the players or in a two-card group dispensed by a mechanical shuffling device. The first player to receive a card or cards is the player immediately to the left of the dealer;

(5) An incorrect number of cards dealt to a player or to the dealer is always a misdeal. An exposed card is not a misdeal. If the dealer exposes a card, the dealer turns the card over and continues dealing;

(6) Wagers are collected or paid in this order: 3^rd street, 4^th street, 5^th street, ante, and three-card bonus. The optional progressive wager must be collected prior to cards being dealt. The sensor must stay lit during the round of play if a progressive wager was made and winning hands must be paid at the completion of the round of play;

(7) If a player has placed an ante wager and does not wish to play, the player may fold and forfeit the ante bet. After all players who wish to fold have folded, the dealer collects the ante, and the cards from each player who folded. All bets must be collected in the order in which the players fold. As the dealer collects the cards, the cards are spread face down to count the cards and then placed in the discard rack. If a player has bet on the optional three-card bonus, progressive wager, or both, the player's cards must be placed face down at the three-card bonus wager or near the progressive sensor when folding;

(8) If a player who has placed an ante wager wishes to stay in the hand, the player must place an additional wager of 1x - 3x the amount of the player's ante wager in the 3^rd street wagering area in front of the player's position;

(9) After all players have acted, the dealer exposes the 3^rd street community card;

(10) If a player has placed an ante and 3^rd street wager and does not wish to play, the player may fold and forfeit the ante and 3^rd street wager. After all players who wish to fold have folded, the dealer collects the ante and 3^rd street wager, and the cards from each player who folded. All bets must be collected in the order in which the players fold. As the dealer collects the cards, the cards are spread face down to count the cards and then placed in the discard rack. If a player has bet on the optional three-card bonus, progressive wager, or both, the player's cards must be placed face down at the three-card bonus wager or near the progressive sensor when folding;

(11) If a player who has placed an ante and 3^rd street wager wishes to stay in the hand, the player must place an additional wager of 1x - 3x the amount of the player's ante wager in the 4^th street wagering area in front of the player's position;

(12) After all players have acted, the dealer exposes the 4^th street community card;

(13) If a player has placed an ante, 3^rd street, and 4^th street wager and does not wish to play, the player may fold and forfeit the ante, 3^rd street, and 4^th street wager. After all players who wish to fold have folded, the dealer collects the ante, 3^rd street, and 4^th street wager, and the cards from each player who folded. All bets must be collected in the order in which the players fold. As the dealer collects the cards, the cards are spread face down to count the cards and then placed in the discard rack. If a player has bet on the optional three-card bonus, progressive wager, or both, the player's cards must be placed face down at the three-card bonus wager or near the progressive sensor when folding;

(14) If a player who has placed an ante, 3^rd street, and 4^th street wager wishes to stay in the hand, the player must place an additional wager of one- to three-times the amount of the player's ante wager in the fifth street wagering area in front of the player's position;

(15) After all players have acted, the dealer exposes the fifth street community card and each player now has a five-card poker hand (two hole cards with three community cards), the dealer working from right to left takes either of the following actions;

(a) If the player has a qualifying hand, each wager is paid according to the paytable;

(b) If the player does not have a qualifying hand, the dealer collects the ante, third street, fourth street, and fifth street wagers, and the cards from each player;

(16) The player is paid according to the following payment schedule, which must be included as part of the table layout:

(18) If the Mississippi Stud progressive wager is offered and a player has bet on the optional progressive wager and the player's hand contains a Royal Flush the player wins, regardless of the dealer's hand. If the player's hand contains less than a Three of a Kind the player loses the progressive wager. The player is paid according to one of the following payment schedules, which must be displayed on a table placard or video progressive sign:

The original progressive wager may not be returned to the player. The envy and seed amounts adjust up or down accordingly with changes made to the wager amount:

(a) Progressive winners:

i. The percentage pays are paid from the progressive jackpot shown on the progressive meter;

ii. Other hands are paid from the tray; these payments do not come off the meter;

iii. If a player has a progressive winner, the dealer must press the appropriate button on the keypad. If the button is pressed by accident, the dealer must press the button again to turn it off;

iv. If there is a progressive winner, the dealer must contact a supervisor;

v. If more than one progressive hand payable from the progressive meter hits at the same table during the same time, house procedures are then followed for paying the prize;

vi. After keying in the progressive winner, the meter may be reduced, depending on the winning hand. Keying in a one hundred percent award will reset the meter to the seed amount, plus any reserve amount. The dealer will continue handling progressive awards in a counter-clockwise fashion; and

vii. After the dealer reconciles all action, the dealer shall press the appropriate button on the keyboard. This action resets the system to begin the next hand and must be logged into the progressive system; and

(b) An envy bonus must be paid as follows:

i. A player making the progressive side wager also qualifies to win an envy payout. If another player at the table has a royal or straight flush, each player who made the progressive side bet wins the envy payout. A player that has a royal or straight flush and has not made the progressive side bet only receives the normal prize pay and does not receive any envy pay;

ii. If a player's hand triggers an envy payout, the dealer must leave that player's hand face-up on the table until all payments are made; and

iii. The dealer shall pay an envy payout at the end of the round. If more than one player is involved in a qualifying envy payout, each player wins multiple envy payouts; and

(19) The provisions of § 20:18:16:21 do not apply to Mississippi Stud poker.
