[51 Pa.B. 5607]
[Saturday, September 4, 2021]

 The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Board), under the general authority in 4 Pa.C.S. § 1202(b)(30) (relating to general and specific powers) and the specific authority in 4 Pa.C.S. §§ 13A02(1) and (2) and 13A03 (relating to regulatory authority; and temporary table game regulations), adopts the temporary regulations in Chapters 617b, 623b, 627b, 629b, 631b, 633b, 635b, 639b, 641b, 643b, 645b, 647b, 649b, 653b, 655b, 657b, 659b, 670b, 685b, 687b and 688b to read as set forth in Annex A. The Board's temporary regulations will be added to Part VII (relating to Gaming Control Board) as part of Subpart K (relating to table games).

Purpose of this Temporary Rulemaking

 This temporary rulemaking adds a number of new side wagers and variations to existing games available for play in this Commonwealth. The majority of these side wagers and variations had previously been adopted by the Board as Statements of Policy, making the side wagers and variations available for play at casinos. Included is a new form of bonus available to player's on certain progressive side wagers.

Explanation

 The side wagers and variations included in this temporary rulemaking package are numerous. The majority of the side wagers and variations in this temporary regulation package have been previously reviewed and adopted by the Board as Statements of Policy, and several have been made available for play by licensed facilities in this Commonwealth. The goal of this rulemaking is to take these existing Statements of Policy and enact them as temporary regulations, and then ultimately incorporate the side wagers and variations into the Board's existing body of regulations through the formal regulatory process.

 In addition to promulgating previously adopted and approved side wagers and variations as temporary regulations, the Board is adding the Must-Hit-By Mystery Bonus to 15 currently existing games that feature progressive wagers. This Must-Hit-By Mystery Bonus uses a random number generator (RNG) built into the progressive wagering system to set a random Must-Hit-By amount, an amount unknown to patrons. A small percentage of each progressive wager placed by a player goes into the Must-Hit-By Mystery Bonus pot, and when a player's contribution brings the pot over the randomly set amount, the player who made the contribution wins the Mystery Bonus amount.

 For example, if the licensed facility picks Paytable A with a $5 progressive wager amount, 1% of each player's wager would be a contribution to the Must-Hit-By Mystery Bonus pot. If the RNG sets the Must-Hit-By amount at $225, when a player's contribution causes the pot to exceed that amount, that player would win the $225 Must-Hit-By Mystery Bonus.

 This Must-Hit-By Mystery Bonus has been included in Chapters 631b, 633b, 639b, 641b, 643b, 645b, 647b, 649b, 653b, 655b, 657b, 659b, 670b, 687b and 688b.

 Chapter 617b (relating to Roulette side wagers and variations—temporary regulations) includes the B2B Roulette wager and the Blazing 7's wager. The B2B Roulette wager wins if after the player places the wager, the Roulette ball lands in the same space as the previous spin. The Blazing 7's wager wins if the Roulette ball lands in the 7, 17 or 27 space on the Roulette wheel. A bonus round spin is triggered, and the amount of the win is based upon the result of the spin in the bonus round.

 Chapter 623b (relating to Craps and Mini-Craps side wagers and variations—temporary regulations) includes Hot Roller Craps, Lucky Shooter Craps and a variation for Bonus Craps. The Hot Roller craps wager wins if the roller of the dice completes certain number combinations during a round prior to rolling a seven. The Lucky Shooter wager may be placed on a fully automated electronic gaming table and wins if a player rolls at least 2 or 3 other point numbers after a point is set on a come out roll, or if a 7 or 11 is rolled on the come out roll. The Bonus Craps variation allows a new paytable for casinos to offer, as well as changes the verbiage of an existing side wager.

This version of Midibaccarat includes several side wagers. The Royal 9 Progressive wager wins if the dealer's hand, player's hand or both hands have a point total of 9. The alternative card reveal procedure allows the player who placed the highest wager on the player's hand to be dealt the two cards for the player's hand and reveal them by placing them face up on the table.

 Chapter 631b (relating to Baccarat side wagers and variations—temporary regulations) contains the Perfect Pairs wager, the Heavenly 9 Progressive Baccarat wager, 5 Treasures Baccarat wagers, Lucky Nines, Commission free Baccarat and the Must-Hit-By Mystery Bonus.

The Heavenly 9 Progressive Baccarat wager wins if the dealer's hand and player's hand tie with three cards each, or when the player's hand or dealer's hand have a three-card point total of 9. 5 Treasures Baccarat features five separate side wagers: Fortune 7 (wins if the banker's hand has a three-card point total of 7), Golden 8 (wins if the player's hand has a three-card point total of 8), Heavenly 9 (wins if the banker's hand, player's hand or both has a three-card total of 9), Blazing 7's (wins if the banker's or player's hand have a point total of 7) and Cover All (wins if one of the any other four side wagers wins).
