 (c) The layout for a Spanish 21 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 § 635a.2 (relating to Spanish 21 table; card reader device; physical characteristics; inspections) the layout shall contain a separate area 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 Spanish 21 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.

 (f) After placing a Spanish 21 wager, as required in § 635a.6(d), and any optional wagers including the Match the Dealer progressive wager, the dealer shall announce ''no more bets'' and, if the Match the Dealer progressive wager is being offered, use the progressive table game system to prevent the placement of any additional progressive wagers. 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 § 635a.7(a)—(e) (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:

 (3) Have a floorperson or above validate the progressive payout in accordance with the certificate holder's approved internal control procedures.

 (4) Pay the winning Match the Dealer progressive wager in accordance with the payout odds in subsection (i).

If a player has won a progressive payout that is not being paid from the table inventory container, the cards of that player must remain on the table until the necessary documentation has been completed.

 (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:

 (e) The wheel must contain a clapper capable of selecting a particular section of the wheel upon the conclusion of the spin.

 (f) Each Dreamcatcher table must have a drop box and a tip box attached on the same side of the gaming table as, but on opposite sides of, the dealer, as approved by the Bureau of Casino Compliance in accordance with § 601a.10(g) (relating to approval of table game layouts, signage and equipment).

 (b) The wheel shall be spun by the dealer in either direction and must complete at least three revolutions to constitute a valid spin.

 (c) A wager shall be settled in accordance with the wager's position on the layout when the clapper comes to rest in a section of the wheel.

 (d) If the clapper comes to rest between two numbers or symbols upon completion of the spin of the wheel, the spin shall be void and the dealer shall respin the wheel.

 (e) Upon completion of the spin, if the wheel comes to rest on a section of the wheel with 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 40, the dealer shall first collect all losing wagers and then pay off all winning wagers in accordance with § 689a.3 (relating to payout odds).

 (f) If upon competition of the spin the wheel comes to rest on the 2× or 7× section of the wheel, a bonus spin round is triggered the dealer shall spin the wheel again and pay winning wagers in accordance with § 689a.3(b) and (c).

 (c) If upon completion of the bonus spin the wheel comes to rest on the 2× or 7× section of the wheel, the bonus spin round continues and the multipliers shall stack until the spin occurs with the wheel coming to rest in a section of the wheel with 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 40. For example, a 2× bonus spin results in the wheel coming to rest in the 7× section. The subsequent bonus spin results in the wheel coming to rest in a section of the wheel with a 10 (10 to 1 odds). The original wager shall be paid at 140 to 1 odds.
