Section 629a.11. Announcement of result of round; payment and collection of wagers

(a) After each hand has received all the cards to which it is entitled under § § 629a.8, 629a.9 and 629a.10 (relating to hands of player and banker; procedure for dealing initial two cards to each hand; procedure for dealing a third card; and rules for determining whether a third card shall be dealt), the dealer shall announce the final Point Count of each hand indicating which hand has won the round. If two hands have equal Point Counts, the dealer shall announce ‘‘tie hand.’’ If the table is designated for play as an EZ Baccarat table and the Point Counts of the Banker’s Hand and the Player’s Hand result in a Dragon 7 or a Panda 8, the dealer shall announce ‘‘Dragon 7’’ or ‘‘Panda 8.’’

(b) After the result of the round is announced, the dealer shall first collect each losing wager. After the losing wagers are collected, the dealer shall, starting at the highest numbered player position at which a winning wager is located, mark or collect the vigorish owed by that player, unless the table is designated for play as an EZ Baccarat table in which vigorish is not collected. Immediately thereafter, the dealer shall pay that player’s winning wager and then, proceeding in descending order to the next highest numbered player position at which a winning wager is located, repeat this procedure until the vigorish owed by each player is either marked or collected and each winning wager is paid.

(c) At the conclusion of a round of play, the dealer shall remove all cards from the table and place the cards in the discard bucket.
