Sec. 6.

(a) The patron must place an ante wager to play against the dealer. After the player receives his or her cards, the player may do one (1) of the following:

(1) Fold and forfeit the ante bet.

(2) Place a play bet that is in the same amount as the ante bet. The patron must place a play bet in order to continue participation in the hand.

If a patron decides to fold his or her hand, the patron should place the cards beside the patron's bet or bets. The dealer should verify folded hands consist of three (3) cards before placing the cards in the discard rack. If the patron decides to continue to play against the dealer, the patron should place his or her cards under the patron's play bet.

(b) The dealer's hand must have a value of queen high or better to qualify to play against the patrons' hands.

(c) The following are the possible outcomes and payouts when the patron bets against the dealer:

(1) If the dealer's hand does not qualify, all ante bets are won by the patrons and are paid at odds of at least one (1) to one (1). All play bets are considered a push and are returned to the patron.

(2) If the dealer's hand qualifies and beats the patron's hand, the patron loses the ante bet and the play bet.

(3) If the dealer's hand qualifies and does not beat the patron's hand, the patron wins. The ante bet and the play bet are both paid at odds of at least one (1) to one (1).

(4) If the dealer's hand qualifies and ties with the patron's hand, both the ante bet and the play bet are considered a push and the wagers are returned to the patron.

(d) The patron's hand is not compared to the dealer's hand for purposes of the ante bonus. A patron with a qualifying ante bonus hand will be paid the bonus even if the dealer's hand beats the patron's hand. The ante bonus shall be paid at the following odds:

(1) A straight flush must be paid at odds of at least five (5) to one (1).

(2) Three (3) of a kind must be paid at odds of at least four (4) to one (1).

(3) A straight must be paid at odds of at least one (1) to one (1).
