Section 13:69F-4.7 - Wagers made against banker(a) After the Banker has placed a wager in support of the "Banker's Hand," the remaining participants at the table shall be given the opportunity of wagering against all or a part of the wager made by the Banker; provided, however, that such wagers shall not exceed, either individually or in the aggregate, the amount wagered by the Banker.(b) Any participant who equaled and lost the immediately preceding wager of the Banker shall have the first option of making a wager against the Banker in an amount equal to the amount being wagered by the Banker. Said participant shall exercise this option by announcing "banco suivi" or "suivi" and by placing the requisite wager on the appropriate area of the layout. A "stand off" shall not be counted for the purpose of determining the immediately preceding wager under this subsection.(c) If no qualified participant announces "banco suivi" or "suivi," the next preference shall be given to any participant placing a wager against the Banker equal in amount to that wagered by the Banker. This option shall be exercised by a participant announcing "banco seul" or "banco" and by placing the requisite wager on the appropriate area of the layout. Whenever more than one participant announces "banco seul" or "banco," preference shall be given to the participant making such announcement who is seated nearest to the Banker in a counterclockwise direction around the table.(d) If the options granted by (b) and (c) above are not exercised, each participant, beginning with one seated to the immediate right of the Banker and moving counterclockwise around the table, shall have the right to make a wager against a part of the wager made by the Banker. Such wagers shall be accepted until the amount of the partial wagers, taken in the aggregate, equals the amount of the wager made by the Banker or until, the dealer announces "No more bets."(e) No wager at baccarat-chemin de fer shall be made, increased or withdrawn after the dealer has announced "No more bets" except that the Banker shall withdraw any part of his or her initial wager that was not covered by the wagers of the other participants.(f) Any wager placed by the participants in cash shall be exchanged immediately by the dealer for gaming chips or plaques in accordance with the regulations governing the acceptance and conversion of such instruments.(g) The wager(s) placed by the participants shall:1. Win if the "Player's Hand" has a point count higher than that of the "Bankers Hand";2. Lose if the "Player's Hand" has a point count lower than that of the "Banker's Hand"; or3. Be void if the point counts of the "Banker's Hand" and the "Player's Hand" are equal. N.J. Admin. Code § 13:69F-4.7
