Section 20:18:15:30.16 - Variations of the play - Bust Bonus

Bust Bonus is a variation of the game of blackjack where the player bets that the dealer will bust. Bust Bonus must be played according to the following rules:

(1) The Bust Bonus table layout is identical to a standard blackjack layout with an additional but separate and distinct betting spot added to the upper right hand side of the standard blackjack betting spot;

(2) Bust Bonus wagers may only be made if a regular blackjack bet is made;

(3) Bust Bonus wagers are made by placing chips in the Bust Bonus betting spot located on the right hand side of the blackjack betting spot;

(4) All Bust Bonus wagers shall be made prior to the dealer exposing their hole/up card. Any wager made after that is considered no bet and returned to the person making the bet. The dealer may, as a courtesy announce "any Bust Bonus bets?" or "anymore Bust Bonus bets?" prior to the dealer exposing their hole card, however it is the players responsibility to place the bet prior to the dealer exposing the hole/up card;

(5) Bust Bonus wagers win if the dealer's blackjack hand busts;

(6) Payouts are determined by the dealer's original up card, all up cards are placed in the box labeled up card, after the dealer exposes the bottom card;

(7) Once all wagers are made the dealer shall deal the cards according to standard blackjack procedures. When all the cards have been dealt the dealer shall follow standard blackjack procedures that give each player the option to hit, stand, split, or double down. If a player does not have a Bust Bonus wager then the standard blackjack procedures apply;

(8) If a player has a Bust Bonus wager and busts the player's blackjack hand, the dealer will take the losing blackjack bet and pick up the cards. However, instead of putting the cards in the discard holder the dealer shall tuck the cards under the Bust Bonus bet. This action prevents the dealer from paying a Bust Bonus bet that was past-posted or inadvertently placed too early for the next hand;

(9) If the dealer's hand does not bust, all Bust Bonus wagers lose and the dealer shall remove the wagers from the layout prior to resolving the remaining blackjack hands;

(10) If the dealer's hand busts the dealer shall resolve all the remaining blackjack bets and Bust Bonus bets beginning in a counter-clockwise order, if a player has both a blackjack bet and a Bust Bonus bet remaining, the blackjack bet is paid first and the Bust Bonus bet is paid second;

(11) If all of the player's blackjack hands have busted leaving only the dealer with live cards remaining and there is at least one Bust Bonus wager, the dealer's hand is played out according to the house rules;

(12) Bust Bonus wagers shall be paid in accordance with one of the following pay tables:

Dealer Up Card	Bust, Off-Suit	Bust, Suited
Ace	3	50
2	1	25
3	1	15
4	1	10
5	1	5
6	1	3
7	2	15
8	2	10
9	2	20
10	2	20
Bust with three 8s	25	75

(All payouts are "to 1.")
