i. Upon placing a pair plus wager, a player may also compete against a posted payout ledger by placing a six-card bonus wager if such wager is offered by the casino licensee pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:69F-20.12A; or

3. A player may compete against both the dealer and the posted payout ledger by placing wagers in accordance with the requirements of (a)1 and 2 above.
