[Saturday, May 25, 2024]

 The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (''board'' or ''PGCB''), under the general authority in 4 Pa.C.S. § 1202(b)(30) (relating to general and specific powers), the specific authority in 4 Pa.C.S. § 13A02(1) and (2) (relating to regulatory authority) and section 204 of the act of July 31, 1968 (P.L. 769, No. 240) (45 P.S. § 1204), referred to as the Commonwealth Documents Law (CDL), adopts this final-omitted rulemaking to read as set forth in Annex A and Annex B. The board's regulations in Annex A and Annex B will be added to Part VII (relating to Gaming Control Board) as part of Subpart K (relating to table games).

Purpose

 This final-omitted rulemaking adopts and moves existing temporary regulations related to table games rules and procedures into final-form regulations.

Explanation

 The regulations which comprise this final-omitted rulemaking package represent the rules and procedures for table games, variations on table games and side wagers to table games. To date, these games, variations and side wagers have been adopted as temporary regulations under the authority granted to the PGCB. As part of the PGCB review process, which precedes PGCB promulgating temporary table game regulations, the rules and procedures of the games, variations or side wagers, or both, were reviewed, including a mathematical analysis. In each case it was determined that the game, variation or side wager, or both, met the acceptable parameters to be offered to patrons in this Commonwealth.

 Annex A outlines those sections of temporary table games regulations that are being deleted and reserved. Annex B reflects those sections of temporary table games regulations that are being moved into final-form regulation status. The regulations comprising Annex B match the language of the temporary regulations being deleted in Annex A, except for minimal edits relating to cross references or to incorporate consistent language and phrasing.

 Section 204 of the CDL establishes three circumstances in which an agency is permitted to promulgate final-omitted regulations: 1. Comments from the public are not appropriate, necessary or beneficial; 2. All persons subject to the regulation are named or given personal notice; and 3. Notice is impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest.

 The regulations of this final-omitted regulation package meet the contemplated criteria for final-omitted regulations under the CDL.

 1. Comments from the public are not necessary, appropriate or beneficial.

 The regulations in this package represent the rules and procedures of table games, variations or side wagers, or both, which are the intellectual property of PGCB licensees, rendering public comments and edits derived therefrom, unnecessary. The present temporary regulation language adopted by the PGCB, and now being moved into final-form regulation language, represents authorization of games, variations or side wagers, or both, covered by intellectual property rights of PGCB licensees. PGCB licensees are not willing to relinquish their intellectual property protections in these games/wagers as a direct result of public commentary. It is anticipated that alterations in regulatory language which would alter the rules/procedures outside the scope of present intellectual property protections would result in PGCB licensees removing the relevant gaming products from this Commonwealth's market. As the regulations are specific to a particular licensee's intellectual property, any edit to the terms of the game amounts to a revocation of an authorized gaming product. A reduction to the number of options available to both the regulated community and gaming patrons will result in a contraction in gaming revenues to operators, and gaming taxes received throughout this Commonwealth.

 2. Persons subject to the regulations have received notice.

 Except for the present edits relating to cross referencing or incorporation of consistent phrasing, the regulations comprising this final-omitted rulemaking package are presently in force and effect as temporary regulations. To become temporary regulations, the process begins with PGCB licensees making a table games submission, which in part seeks temporary table game regulations be promulgated and in part seeks the PGCB to grant approval for the game/wager to be authorized for play in this Commonwealth. The PGCB's issuance of authorization for a game or wager provides that the game/wager is subject to the relevant regulatory provisions—be those provisions temporary regulations or final-form regulations. Those entities with the greatest interest in the contents of the present final-omitted regulations received notice of the relevant regulations as part of the PGCB notification that their requested game/wager has been approved for play in this Commonwealth. Having given notice to the relevant parties, the PGCB has not received comments on the regulatory language, and therefore is moving the temporary regulations forward through the final-omitted rulemaking process.

 3. Notice is impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest.

 Specifically, the editing being made represents a corrective measure for which notice and comment is unnecessary, and generally impracticable. Some sections of regulations have been discovered to contain typos. The edits correct these errors and ensure proper cross references.

Fiscal Impact

 Commonwealth. The board does not expect that this final-omitted rulemaking will have a fiscal impact on the board or other Commonwealth agencies. Updates to Rules Submission forms and internal control procedures will be reviewed by existing board staff.

 Political subdivisions. This final-omitted rulemaking will have no fiscal impact on political subdivisions of this Commonwealth.

 Private sector. This final-omitted rulemaking codifies temporarily approved table games, variations and side wagers into final-form, and thereby provides certificate holders with additional table game options. If a certificate holder decides to offer, or continue to offer, any of the table games, side wagers and/or variations codified under these final-form regulations, the certificate holder will be required to train their dealers on the rules of play and purchase new equipment—specifically table layouts corresponding to the game and wagers offered. Costs incurred to train employees or purchase/lease equipment should be offset by the proceeds of gaming.

 General public. This final-omitted rulemaking will have no fiscal impact on the general public.

Paperwork Requirements

 If a certificate holder seeks to offer any of the table games, side wagers or variations contained in these regulations, the certificate holder will be required to submit a Rules Submission form reflecting the choices in how the game will be offered and with the selected side wagers and variations identified. These forms are available on the board's public web site and submitted to board staff electronically.

Effective Date

 This final-omitted rulemaking will become effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

Regulatory Review

 Under section 5.1(c) of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P.S. § 745.5a(c)), on February 15, 2024, the Board submitted a copy of the final-omitted rulemaking and a copy of the Regulatory Analysis Form to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC), to the chairperson of the Community, Economic and Recreational Development Committee of the Senate and the chairperson of the Gaming Oversight Committee of the House of Representatives. On the same date, the regulations were submitted to the Office of Attorney General for review and approval under the Commonwealth Attorneys Act (71 P.S. §§ 732-101—732-506).

 Under section 5.1(j.2) of the Regulatory Review Act, on March 20, 2024, the final-omitted rulemaking was deemed approved by the House and Senate Committees. Under section 5.1(e) of the Regulatory Review Act, IRRC met on March 21, 2024, and approved the final-omitted rulemaking.

Findings

 The board finds that:

 (1) Public notice of intention to adopt these amendments and opportunity for public comment may be omitted under section 204 of the CDL and the regulations thereunder, 1 Pa. Code § 7.4 (relating to omission of notice of proposed rulemaking).

 (1) Comply with the requirements in § 623a.2 (relating to Craps and Mini-Craps tables; physical characteristics).

 (2) If the certificate holder offers Hot Roller Craps:

 (i) No more than 16 areas designated for the placement of a Hot Roller wager. The Hot Roller wager areas must be located around the perimeter of the layout, corresponding to player positions at the table, and sequentially numbered in a clockwise direction with the area numbered 1 being located immediately to the left of the boxperson.

 (ii) A designated area of the layout for the relocation and identification of all Hot Roller wagers placed by players. The designated area must be located in front of the boxperson and contain numbered areas which correspond to the location of the numbered areas described in subparagraph (i).

 (iii) A designated area of the layout for the placement of marker buttons with the following:

 (A) A number 4 showing a 1 and 3 dice and a 2 and 2 dice.

A Hot Roller wager shall win if at least two different number combinations are thrown by the shooter before a 7 is thrown and shall lose if the shooter throws a 7 on the come out roll or if fewer than two different number combinations are thrown by the shooter before a 7 is thrown. For example, if a shooter throws the two ways to make a 4 (marker buttons have been placed on the 1 and 3 and the 2 and 2), the two ways to make a 5 (marker buttons have been placed on the 2 and 3 and the 4 and 1) and both ways to make a 9 (marker buttons have been placed on the 3 and 6 and the 4 and 5) and then throws a 7, all players who placed a Hot Roller wager shall be paid out for any three number combination.

 (h) A winning Hot Roller wager shall be paid at the payout odds contained in one of the following paytables selected by the certificate holder in its Rules Submission filed in accordance with § 601a.2 (relating to table games Rules Submissions):

 (c) A player may place a Lucky Shooter wager by electronically placing a value chip on the designated area of the table layout prior to the shooter throwing the dice on the come out roll to establish a point.

 (d) If on the come out roll the shooter throws:

 (1) A 2, 3 or 12, the Lucky Shooter wager shall be lost and collected.

 (4) One suited match—One of the player's cards matches the suit and rank of the dealer's upcard.

 (5) Two non-suited matches—Both of the player's cards match the rank of the dealer's upcard.

 (6) One non-suited match—One of the player's cards matches the rank of the dealer's upcard.

 (b) The Match the Dealer progressive wager may be played on a Blackjack table that utilizes 6 decks or 8 decks of cards.

 (c) The layout for a Blackjack table shall be submitted to the Bureau of Gaming Operations and approved in accordance with § 601a.10(a) (relating to approval of table game layouts, signage and equipment) and if the certificate holder offers the Match the Dealer progressive wager, in addition to the requirements in § 633a.2 (relating to Blackjack table; card reader device; physical characteristics; inspections) the layout shall contain a separate area designated for the placement of the Match the Dealer progressive wager for each player.

 (d) If the certificate holder is offering the Match the Dealer progressive wager, the Blackjack table must have a progressive table game system, in accordance with § 605a.7 (relating to progressive table games), for the placement of the Match the Dealer progressive wager. If the certificate holder is offering a progressive payout wager on multiple linked tables or games in the same licensed facility, the progressive table game system must comply with the requirements in § 605a.8 (relating to linked progressive table games). The progressive table game system must include:

 (1) A wagering device at each betting position that acknowledges or accepts the placement of the progressive wager.

 (2) A device that controls or monitors the placement of progressive wagers at the gaming table, including a mechanism, such as a lock-out button, that prevents the recognition of any progressive wager that a player attempts to place after the dealer has announced ''no more bets.''

 (e) If specified in its Rules Submission required under § 601a.2 (relating to table games Rules Submissions), a certificate holder may offer to each player who placed a Blackjack wager in accordance with § 633a.6(d) (relating to wagers), the option of placing a Match the Dealer progressive wager of $1 or $5.

If any progressive wagers have been made, the dealer shall collect the wagers and, on the layout in front of the table inventory container, verify that the number of value chips wagered equals the number of progressive wagers accepted by the progressive table game system. The dealer shall then place the value chips into the table inventory container.

 (g) The dealer shall then deal the cards in accordance with § 633a.7(a)—(g) (relating to procedure for dealing the cards; completion of each round of play). Immediately after the second card is dealt to each player and the dealer, but prior to any additional cards being dealt, the dealer shall settle the Match the Dealer progressive wager as follows:

 (1) If the player does not have a card that matches the dealer's upcard, the Match the Dealer progressive wager shall lose and the dealer shall continue the hand in accordance with § 633a.7(i)—(t).

 (i) The certificate holder shall pay out a winning Match the Dealer wager, for the winning combination formed, at the odds in one of the following payout tables selected by the certificate holder in its Rules Submission filed in accordance with § 601a.2:
