ARSD 20:18:16:15.18. The play--Fortune Pai Gow poker
Cite as S.D. Admin. R. 20:18:16:15.18
Fortune Pai Gow poker must be dealt and played following the standard rules of Pai Gow poker as set forth in § 20:18:16:15.16, except as follows:
(1) Fortune Pai Gow poker is an optional bonus bet;
(2) The bet considers the best hand possible among the player's seven cards;
(3) Each player may bet any amount within the table limits; however, a Fortune bonus bet of at least five dollars qualifies the player for envy bonus payout. An envy bonus is won when another player at the table has a hand that is at least four of a kind or higher;
(4) To begin each round, each player must make a standard Pai Gow wager and, at the player's option, a Fortune bonus bet. If a player wagers at least five dollars on the Fortune bonus bet, the dealer must place an "envy" button next to it;
(5) The dealer then follows house procedures for Pai Gow poker;
(6) While reconciling the standard Pai Gow poker wagers, the dealer shall also reconcile the Fortune bonus bets:
(a) If the player's hand qualifies for a payout, the dealer must pay the player according to the posted paytable. The dealer shall leave the "envy" button, if applicable, next to the player's original wager and payout. No dealer may pick up any "envy" button until all wagers are reconciled; and
(b) If the player's hand does not qualify for any payout, the dealer must take the player's Fortune bonus bet. The dealer shall leave the "envy" button, if applicable, next to the player's original wager and payout. No dealer may pick up any "envy" button until all wagers are reconciled;
(7) The dealer pays any envy bonuses at the end of the round. If at least one player has a four of a kind or higher, each player with an "envy" button wins per the paytable. In the event more than one player has at least four of a kind, then each player with an "envy" button wins multiple payouts.
No player may win any envy bonuses for the player's hand or for the dealer's hand; and
