Section 13:69F-4.9 - Procedure for dealing of additional cards

(a) After the initial four cards have been dealt, the Dominant Player shall look at the two cards dealt to the "Player's Hand" without disclosing them to the Banker. If the point count of the "Player's Hand" is:

1. A 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, the Dominant Player shall request one additional card by announcing "Card";

2. A 5, the Dominant Player shall exercise the option of requesting one additional card by announcing "Card" or not requesting one additional card by announcing "Stay";

3. A 6 or 7, the Dominant Player shall not draw an additional card and shall announce "Stay"; or

4. An 8 or 9, the Dominant Player shall announce "Natural" and all cards in both hands shall be turned immediately face upwards with no additional cards being dealt to either hand.

(b) If the Dominant Player has announced "Card" in accordance with (a) above, an additional card shall not be dealt to the "Player's Hand" until the Banker first looks at the two cards dealt to the "Banker's Hand." If the point count of the "Banker's Hand" is 8 or 9, the Banker shall announce "Natural" and all cards in both hands shall be turned immediately face upwards with no additional cards being dealt to either hand. If the point count of the "Banker's Hand" is less than 8, the Banker shall announce "Under Eight" and shall deal a third card face upwards to the "Player's Hand" in accordance with the request of the Dominant Player.

(c) After the "Player's Hand" stays or receives a third card in accordance with (a) and (b) above, the Banker shall turn the cards in the "Banker's Hand" face upwards on the table and shall deal or not deal a third card to the "Banker's Hand" in accordance with the requirements of Table 3 of this subsection.

(d) The first vertical column in Table 3 labeled "Point Count of Banker's Hand" shall refer to the point count of the "Banker's Hand" after the first two cards have been dealt to it.

(e) The first horizontal column at the top of Table 3 labeled "Third Card Drawn by Player's Hand" shall refer to the value of the third card drawn by the "Player's Hand" as distinguished from the point count of the "Player's Hand."

(f) As used in Table 3, the letter "D" shall mean that the "Banker's Hand" must draw a third card, the letter "S" shall mean that the "Banker's Hand" shall stay (that is, not draw a third card) and the abbreviation "Op." shall mean that the Banker may draw a third card or stay within his discretion.

(g) The method of using Table 3 shall be to find the point count of the "Banker's Hand" in the first vertical column and trace that horizontally across the table until it intersects the third card drawn by the "Player's Hand." The box at which such intersection takes place will show whether the "Banker's Hand" shall draw a third card or stay. For example, if the point count of the "Banker's Hand" after two cards is 3 and the value of the third card drawn by the "Player's Hand" is 9, Table 3 shows that the Banker has the option of drawing a third card or staying.

(h) Any announcement required to be made by the Dominant Player or Banker by this section shall be immediately repeated by the dealer at the table to assure the clarity and understanding of such statements.
