BASIS AND PURPOSE FOR AMENDMENTS TO RULE 8
The purpose of amendments to Rule 8 is to establish playing rules for the blackjack variation game of Buffalo Blackjack Bonus. The statutory basis for Rule 8 is found in sections 12-47.1-201, C.R.S., 12-47.1-203, C.R.S., 12-47.1-302, C.R.S., and 12-47.1-818, C.R.S.
47.1-834.9 The Play – Buffalo Blackjack Bonus
Buffalo Blackjack Bonus is a trademarked blackjack variation game, the rights to which are owned by Galaxy Gaming, Inc., of Las Vegas, Nevada and which may be transferred or assigned. Buffalo Blackjack Bonus shall be dealt and played following the standard rules of blackjack, except as follows:

1.	Buffalo Blackjack Bonus may be played only on tables utilizing a Buffalo style table layout. The game shall be played using six standard 52 card decks and is dealt from a dealing shoe.
2.	At the same time a player makes their standard blackjack wager, the player has an opportunity to make an additional optional wager in an even dollar amount, otherwise known as the “21 Magic” bet. The minimum and maximum amounts of the optional 21 Magic wager permitted shall be posted on table signage and cannot be more than the original blackjack wager.
3.	21 Magic may be won only if the player’s value of their hand, equals 21 and the player’s hand beats the dealer’s hand. Should the player tie the dealer’s hand, the 21 Magic wager will be considered a push. If the player does not draw out to 21, the bet will be considered a loss and will be collected by the dealer.
4.	At the discretion of the retail licensee, players who have placed 21 Magic wagers and have already placed a dealer toke on the blackjack wager, may be permitted to place tip bets for the dealer on that 21 Magic bet. If such tip wagers are accepted, winning 21 Magic wagers must be paid at the same odds as the player’s winning wagers. The retail licensee may require tip wagers to be in an even dollar amount, and may limit the maximum amount of such tip wagers.  
5.	After all wagers have been placed, the deal and play of the game shall continue following the standard rules of blackjack. In the event a player chooses to split a pair into two or more hands, the player must also place an additional wager equal to the first 21 Magic wager on their second hand.
6.	Insurance may not be offered or accepted on the 21 Magic wager. A player who has placed a 21 Magic wager and who is dealt a 21 shall be qualified to win that hand according to the corresponding paytable whenever the player’s hand beats the dealer’s hand. A Player who has insured the player’s blackjack hand, or who calls for even money payment against a dealer’s ace up, shall be deemed to hold a winning hand and shall be qualified to win the 21 Magic wager, as long as the player’s hand ultimately wins. If a surrender option is offered by the retail licensee and a player elects to surrender a hand, the player’s 21 Magic wager is lost.
7.	After all players and the dealer have received their first two cards, the players act on their hands, as described in the standard blackjack rules. Should a player bust and if they placed the optional 21 Magic wager, not only is the primary bet collected, but the 21 Magic wager, as well.
8.	Once players have acted on their hands, players have the option of placing a second additional optional wager, otherwise known as “Bust Bonus”. This wager must be made in an even dollar amount and may be made only by players who still have an active hand (i.e. the player did not bust his hand). The minimum and maximum amounts of the optional Bust Bonus wagers permitted shall be posted on the table signage and cannot be more than the original blackjack wager.
9.	The dealer then acts on his hand as described in the standard blackjack rules.
10.	As wagers on the standard game of blackjack are settled, the dealer shall also settle the 21 Magic and the Bust Bonus wagers according to the pay schedule, selected at the discretion of the retail licensee. The pay schedule in use shall appear on the table layout or on signage at the table.
