✨ Casino Table Games Rules



19 MAY 2004 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 56 1317

5.6 Subject to these rules, standing players may also participate in the game. Standing players shall:

(a) when full baccarat is played, place their wagers on those parts of the layout specifically
designated for “standing player” bets, the numbered wagering areas being for the use of
seated players;

(b) not participate in the cut of the cards or touch or handle the cards used in the game in any
manner;

(c) not be appointed Banker or Player.

5.7 When full baccarat is played, only one player (being a seated player) may wager on each of the
numbered wagering areas, which shall be for the use of seated players.

5.8 When mini baccarat or midi baccarat is played, the casino operator may:

(a) permit up to three players to wager on any one wagering area; and

(b) direct that the total of all players’ wagers on any one wagering area shall not exceed the
table maximum, or that the total of the wagers of any particular player or players on any
one wagering area shall not exceed the table maximum.

5.9 If a player, being allowed by these rules to do so, wagers on the Player’s Hand, or on the Banker’s
Hand, or on a Tie Bet, by placing a bet on more than one wagering area during a round of play:

a) the applicable minimum wager limit applies to each bet placed by the player on each of
those wagering areas; and

b) subject to rule 5.8(b), the applicable (table or personal) maximum wager limit applies to
the total of the bets placed by the player on that outcome.

5.10 Subject to rule 5.11, winning wagers made pursuant to rule 5.1 shall be paid at the following odds:

(a) wagers on the Player’s Hand at odds of 1 to 1;

(b) wagers on the Banker’s Hand at odds of 1 to 1, less a commission of 5% on the amount
won, which shall be payable to the casino operator and shall be collected from the player at
the time the winnings are paid;

(c) Tie Bets at odds of 8 to 1.

5.11 Subject to any directions issued by the Authority, and pursuant to rule 5.1, the casino operator
may elect to pay winning wagers on the Banker’s Hand at odds of 1 to 1 except where the Banker
wins with a point count of 6, in which event such wagers shall be paid at odds of 1 to 2 (e.g. $100
pays $50). Where the casino operator elects to modify the payment of winning wagers on the
Banker’s Hand pursuant to this rule, a sign indicating the modified odds must be displayed at the
table at all times while the modification is in effect, from the beginning of the round at which it
took effect.

5.12 Except where rule 5.11 applies, if it would not be possible to pay a wager on the Banker’s Hand
exactly in chips at odds of 1 to 1, less commission, were that wager to win, the wager shall not be
accepted.
