§ 674a.7. Wagers.
(a) Wagers at Criss-Cross Poker shall be made by placing value chips, plaques or other Board-approved table game wagering instruments on the appropriate areas of the table layout. Verbal wagers accompanied by cash may not be accepted.
(b) Only players who are seated at a Criss-Cross Poker table may wager at the game. Once a player has placed a wager and received cards, that player shall remain seated until the completion of the round of play. If a player leaves the table during a round of play, any wagers made by the player may be considered abandoned and may be treated as losing wagers.
(c) All Ante Across and Ante Down wagers shall be placed prior to the dealer announcing ‘‘no more bets’’ in accordance with the dealing procedures in § 674a.8, § 674a.9 or § 674a.10 (relating to procedure for dealing the cards from a manual dealing shoe; procedure for dealing the cards from the hand; and procedure for dealing the cards from an automated dealing shoe). Except as provided in § 674a.11(b), (d) and (f) (relating to procedures for completion of each round of play), a wager may not be made after the dealer has announced ‘‘no more bets.’’
(d) To participate in a round of play, a player shall place two equal but separate Ante wagers designated as Ante Across and Ante Down.

After placing the Ante wagers required under subsection (d), a player may make an additional Five Card bonus wager by placing a value chip onto the designated betting area for that player. A Five Card bonus wager will not have a bearing on any other wagers made by the player.
