THE PLAY – RAISE THE ROOF.
RAISE THE ROOF IS A PATENT-PENDING BLACKJACK VARIATION GAME, THE RIGHTS TO WHICH ARE OWNED BY
SCORE GAMING, LLC OF HENDERSON, NEVADA AND WHICH MAY BE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED. RAISE THE
ROOF SHALL BE DEALT AND PLAYED FOLLOWING THE STANDARD RULES OF BLACKJACK, EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS:
(1)
RAISE THE ROOF SHALL BE PLAYED ON TABLES UTILIZING A RAISE THE ROOF BLACKJACK STYLED TABLE
LAYOUT.
(2)
RAISE THE ROOF SHALL BE PLAYED USING SIX DECKS OF STANDARD 52 PLAYING CARDS AND IS DEALT
FROM A DEALING SHOE OR CONTINUOUS SHUFFLER OR TWO DECKS OF STANDARD 52 PLAYING CARDS
AND IS DEALT FROM A DEALING SHOE OR BY HAND. THE DEALER MAY HIT OR STAND ON SOFT 17 PER
POSTED HOUSE RULES ON A SIX DECK GAME, AND MAY ONLY HIT ON SOFT 17 ON A DOUBLE DECK GAME.
(3)
AT THE SAME TIME A PLAYER MAKES HIS/HER STANDARD BLACKJACK WAGER, THE PLAYER HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE OPTIONAL ANTE WAGER. ALL BETS WILL BE IN AN AMOUNT BETWEEN THE
TABLE MINIMUM AND THE TABLE MAXIMUM, AS POSTED AT THE TABLE, UP TO THE $100 MAXIMUM WAGER
LIMIT DETERMINED BY THE HOUSE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS.
(4)
AT THE DISCRETION OF THE LICENSEE, PLAYERS MAY PLACE A TIP WAGER FOR THE DEALER ON ANY OF
THEIR BETS BY PLACING THE DEALER TIP WAGER IN FRONT OF THEIR BET. TIP WAGERS ON THE RAISE
THE ROOF WAGER MAY BE PLACED ONLY IF THE PLAYER HAS PLACED AN ANTE WAGER. IF SUCH TIP
WAGERS ARE ACCEPTED, WINNING TIP WAGERS MUST BE PAID AT THE SAME ODDS AS THE PLAYER’S
WINNING WAGER. THE LICENSEE MAY REQUIRE TIP WAGERS TO BE IN AN EVEN DOLLAR AMOUNT, AND MAY
LIMIT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SUCH TIP WAGERS.
(5)
ONCE ALL WAGERS ARE PLACED, EACH PLAYER RECEIVES TWO CARDS FACE UP IN A SIX DECK GAME OR
TWO CARDS FACE DOWN IN A DOUBLE DECK GAME, WHILE THE DEALER RECEIVES TWO CARDS, ONE FACE
UP AND ONE FACE DOWN.
(6)
THE DEALER THEN CHECKS FOR BLACKJACK AND OFFERS INSURANCE WHEN AN ACE IS SHOWING PER THE
STANDARD RULES OF BLACKJACK.
(7)
IF THE DEALER HAS A BLACKJACK, THE ANTE WAGERS AUTOMATICALLY LOSE.
(8)
IF THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE A BLACKJACK, ANY PLAYER WHO MADE THE ANTE WAGER IS GIVEN THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE RAISE THE ROOF WAGER BY PLACING THE WAGER IN THE DESIGNATED RAISE
THE ROOF WAGER SPOT. THIS WAGER CAN BE ANY AMOUNT FROM 1 TO 5X THE PLAYER’S ANTE WAGER.
(9)
AFTER ALL WAGERS HAVE BEEN PLACED AND ALL ANTE AND RAISE THE ROOF WAGER DECISIONS ARE
MADE BY ELIGIBLE PLAYERS, THE DEAL AND PLAY OF THE GAME SHALL CONTINUE FOLLOWING THE
STANDARD RULES OF BLACKJACK WITH ONE EXCEPTION:
(A)
IF THERE ARE ANY ACTIVE ANTE OR RAISE THE ROOF WAGERS, THE DEALER’S HAND WILL BE
PLAYED OUT PER STANDARD BLACKJACK RULES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE
ANY ACTIVE PLAYER BLACKJACK WAGERS REMAINING.
(10)
PLAYERS WILL WIN ON THEIR ANTE AND/OR RAISE THE ROOF WAGERS ONLY IF THE DEALER’S HAND
BUSTS AND WILL BE PAID ACCORDING TO THE POSTED PAY TABLE.
(11)
AT THE DISCRETION OF THE LICENSEE, PLAYERS MAY TIP THE DEALER BY PLACING A WAGER ON THE
RAISE THE ROOF GAME. TO DO THIS, THE PLAYER MUST PLACE AN ANTE WAGER FOR THE DEALER
BEFORE ANY CARDS ARE DEALT. IF DESIRED, THE PLAYER MAY PLACE A RAISE THE ROOF WAGER FOR
THE DEALER ONLY IF HE/SHE HAS PLACED AN ANTE WAGER.
