RULE 21 RULES FOR BLACKJACK-POKER COMBINATION GAMES
47.1-2105  The Play -- Blackjack Switch.
Blackjack Switch is the blackjack and poker variation game, the rights to which on July 1, 2010 were owned by Shuffle Master Gaming of Las Vegas, Nevada, and which may be transferred or assigned. Blackjack Switch shall be dealt and played following all standard rules of blackjack, except as follows: 
(1)	Blackjack Switch may be played only on tables displaying the Blackjack Switch table layout. Six (6) or eight (8) decks of cards will be used. In Blackjack Switch each player plays two hands of Blackjack. The rank of hands for the Blackjack Switch optional side wager “Super Match”, from highest to lowest, are: four of a kind, two pair, three of a kind, and pair.
(2)	Each player will make initial bets in the amount specified at the table by the retail licensee, and will place equal bets on both betting spots, with an optional “Super Match” or “Buster Blackjack” bet in the wagering areas in front of the player’s position. The Super Match bet is placed to play for hand value only. The Buster Blackjack bet is placed to play against the number of cards in the dealers bust hand and the initial wagers are placed to play against the dealer. 
(3)	Any dealer tip delivered as a wager may be placed on either the betting spot(s) or “Super Match” /”Buster Blackjack” hands or both, provided that the player has placed a personal wager on the same hands. If a player continues play with any subsequent wager(s), the dealer’s tip on the betting spot(s) “Super Match” or “Buster Blackjack” may remain in play whether or not the player adds a subsequent and corresponding wager(s) for the dealer. 
(4)	An incorrect number of cards dealt to a player constitutes a misdeal to that player only. The player receiving the misdealt cards retains the player’s wager and Super Match or Buster Blackjack wager. An incorrect number of cards dealt to the dealer constitutes a misdeal for the hand, and all players retain their wager and Super Match or Buster Blackjack wagers. 
(5)	Wagers are collected or paid in this order: Super Match/Buster Blackjack and wager.
(6)	The following hands are always paid a bonus on the Super Match as it does not play against the dealer; but is based on the player’s initial four cards: four of a kind, two pair, three of a kind, and pair.
(7)	Immediately prior to the commencement of play the dealer shall shuffle the cards. Following shuffle and cut, the dealer deals out two hands of blackjack to every player and one to himself. 
(8)	After all players and the dealer have received their cards, the dealer shall offer all standard play options as well as the switch option for each of the bet positions, beginning with the player to the dealer's left. 
(a) 	If the dealer has been dealt an ace face up, the dealer will call for insurance and each player may place an insurance wager on any one or two of the player's wagers. 
(b) 	The players have the choice to switch the second card of each hand. If the player does not switch their cards they play as normal. If the player does switch their cards a switched blackjack is considered a 21, not a blackjack. Blackjack pays 1 to 1 and would push if the dealer has Blackjack. 
(c)	If a player wishes to split cards of the same value, the player must place an additional wager equal to each initial wager made on those cards betting spot. The player has the option to split both hands.
(d) 	A player may double down on any one or two of the player's wagers. 
(e)	If a player has a blackjack, and the dealer does not have a blackjack, the player is paid at odds of 1 to 1. If both the player and the dealer have blackjacks, the hand is a push. If the player has a switched blackjack (considered 21) they lose against a dealer blackjack and pushes against a dealer 21 or 22. 
(f) 	If a player chooses to draw to the hand, for each bet position the player uses the same first two cards dealt and combines them with separate “hit” cards. The draw continues until the player chooses to stop or until the value of the hand exceeds twenty-one. Each bet position is treated as a separate hand and with respect to each wager, a player may elect to draw, or stand. 
(g) 	If a player draws to over twenty-one at a bet position, that one wager and cards are immediately collected by the dealer, leaving the player's other wagers on the table until such time as the dealer has taken action on all other wagers and hands in play at the table, including the dealer's hand, and can evaluate winners and losers. 
(h) 	When the dealer and a player have completed action on a player's hand, the dealer shall then move to the next player in rotation, offering each player all appropriate choices, until all action on all bet positions has been taken. 
(9)	When the dealer has acted on all players' hands, the dealer shall play out the dealer's hand in the same manner as in standard blackjack and shall determine winning and losing hands, paying the winning wagers and collecting the losing wagers.
(10)	The retail licensee may offer the game using the following pay schedules. The pay schedules in use, or payouts derived from the pay schedules, must be displayed on the table layout or on signage at the table:
