There will be NO “free entries”. Registration will begin at 2:00pm with rounds starting at 2:30pm. Any player who does not progress through their preliminary session will be afforded the opportunity to purchase entry into the re-buy sessions. The associated fee for the re-buy session is $20.00 USD.  Each player can re-buy as many times as they would like until the end of the re-buy rounds (the last round being at ??:?? pm).\n\n\nHard Rock Casino Biloxi guarantees a prize pool of at least $500 however\, the entire amount from preliminary buy-ins and rebuys for tournament event will be awarded. Any collected fees will be added together for a total and divided amongst the finalist on the final table.\n\n\n50% to 1st place\n25% to 2nd place\n5% to the remaining 5 positions (3rd – 7th).\n\n\nA drawing will be held prior to the Semi Final Round to fill any vacant seats. This drawing will be done from the Re-Buy entries only. NO preliminary entries will be drawn for this drawing. Note: if a player is already playing in the Semi Final Round\, they will not qualify for a second seat and another player will be drawn.\n\n\nA wildcard drawing will be held prior to the final round from the pool of players who have participated in the tournament. Only the original entry ticket will be placed in the drum. NO re-buy tickets will qualify for this drawing. Players drawn from the wild-card pool will be awarded a seat on the Wild Card table.  Note:  If a player who has already advanced to the final round is drawn during the wildcard drawing\, said player’s ticket will be removed from the drawing drum and another draw will be conducted.  Tickets drawn from the wild-card drum will be announced across the floor and in the tournament area via loudspeaker.  Each ticket drawn will be valid for three minutes for a player to claim.  If no player makes claim to a drawn voucher within the allotted time\, a new ticket will be drawn from the wild-card drum.  Once a new ticket has been drawn\, previous tickets drawn will be void.\n\n\nPreliminary Rounds will begin at 2:30pm and continue until 8:30pm. Rebuy tables will be available as soon as players start buying in with Rebuys. If a Quarter Final is needed\, we will have positions available at ??:?? pm and ??:?? pm. Depending on whether we need a quarter final or not will determine the time of the Semi Final\, Wild Card Table\, and Final Table.\n\nThe format for all play during the tournament is as follows: \n\nPlayers will start each session with $10\,000.00 in non-value tournament chips.\n\n\n(12) Twelve hands will be dealt in each Session.\n\n\nPrior to the first hand on each round\, the dealer will give each player one card from the shoe.  The first player to receive the highest card (Ace being highest)\, will have their position marked with the lamer signifying the “1st Play rotates from left to right starting with the “1st spot\, which is represented by a numbered marker which will move in a left to right order after each hand played. Once the lamer has been moved to the last spot on the table\, the dealer will move the lamer to the first position and continue moving from left to right after each hand.  This button will be numbered to represent the current hand being played (i.e.\, 1 – 12).\n\n\nAll players must wager a minimum of $100 each hand. There is no maximum bet.\n\n\nEach player\, in turn\, will make a wager. Once a player’s wager is placed in the betting circle\, it may not be changed until the hand is over. A player’s entire bet must be placed in the betting area at once\, no “string betting” (placing one chip in the betting circle at a time) will be allowed. A player may place a wager before it is their turn\, but the wager may not be changed after it is set.\n\n\nAll wagers will be made in a timely manner\, if there is too long of a delay in wagering the dealer will announce to the player that they have 15 seconds to place a wager. If the player does not comply\, they will receive the minimum bet and play will continue.\n\n\nAny player not seated when the round starts will have the minimum wager removed from their chip stack and returned to the rack. After (3) three hands missed a player will be considered as forfeiting their spot and their bankroll will be collected into the rack. Players absent may request a player position in a later round pending availability.\n\n\nAt the end of the 10th hand all players chips will be counted and their total announced so that all players at the table can hear and see each player’s total at that point.\n\n\nAfter the 12th hand\, all players still in play will have their chips counted by the dealer and their total announced the highest total will advance to the next round. 1 winner per table\, per round.\n\n\nIf a player’s wager exceeds what is available to pay from the rack the Floor Supervisor will purchase the chips back from the player using a lamer(s) representing the amount of chips being exchanged.  The Floor Supervisor will place the lamer(s) in front of the player offering the exchange\, and the dealer will run down the chips and place them in the rack after the Floor Supervisor has verified the correct amount.  The lamer(s) in possession of the player must be separated from the player’s non-value gaming chips and must be in clear view at all times.  The Floor Supervisor will retain all lamer (s) not in possession of a player.\n\n\nIf multiple players have the same chip count and there is only one spot for advancement there will be a (3) three hand play off. If there is still a tie the players will cut one card from a single facedown deck and the highest card drawn will advance\, ace being high.\n\n\nIf a dealer fails to move the “1st spot” marker or fails to change the hand marker and the error is discovered after cards are dealt\, but before any hand has been acted upon\, the hand will be declared a dead hand. No wagers will be collected or paid\, and the hand marker will be advanced to the correct spot and/or changed to signify the correct hand number. A new round of wagers will begin\, and the new hand will be dealt. There will not be a shuffle prior to continuing. Once the first player’s hand has been acted upon\, the hand will be considered valid\, and play will continue. After the completion of the hand\, the marker will move to the next player position and the correct hand number will be represented.\n\n\nThere will be no smoking\, eating\, or drinking at the table during tournament play.\n\n\nPlayers must keep their hands in plain sight at all times\, while the tournament is in progress. All chips must be stacked by denomination and be in full view of casino personnel and other players.   Chips must never be removed from the surface of the table doing so will be grounds for disqualification.\n\n\nCollusion among players or help from spectators is prohibited and will result in disqualification. The official language of the tournament is English.  No conversations in any other language are permitted during tournament play.  No communication\, either verbal or visual\, will be permitted between player and spectator.  Violation of these rules will result in disqualification from the tournament.\n\n\nNo written\, mechanical\, or electronic aids are allowed during tournament play.\n\n\nCase money wagers can be made for double downs below the table minimum\, however the initial bet must be at the table minimum. Players lacking sufficient non-value tournament chips to make a minimum bet will be considered finished for the session.\n\n\nIt is the player’s responsibility to communicate his/her desired action with the dealer.\n\n\nDealers may pay bets in any denomination they deem appropriate.\n\n\nNo toke bets are allowed for the dealers with tournament chips during play.\n\n\nAll protests must be handled at the table before players leave the table.\n\n\nA player is eliminated from play for violation of any of the tournament rules\, cheating\, or disorderly conduct.

Casino Hanover Maryland Tournament\nDiscussion in ‘BJTUSA Connect!‘ started by Lakegirl32\nJust wanted to share our thoughts on the Live! Casino in Hanover Maryland 25K Monthly Blackjack Tournament that we tried a few weeks ago.\nWe were on a trip out east and made this tournament our last day of excitement. It was a different format than we are used to but honestly very fun. \nThe format is accumulative so try to get the highest score to get on the board. A digital board shows the top 10 scores and is updated continually. The top 6 high scores from whole night get into the finals. $50 buy in\, and you can only try 3 times. You can buy in all three times at once if you want or individually. Each ticket will say first try\, second try\, third try. \nThe casino games manager has it set up really well\, no long wait in lines. They have 4-6 tables set up in a separate area. You can play anytime you want\, it runs from 6 PM until 10 PM and it is rolling so as soon as one table is done they let in 5-6 more players and start again. 15 Hands and you start with $1000 in chips in preliminary rounds ($5000) if you make the final table. Min. Bet 50 and Max. 1000 until the last hand (15th hand) you can bet 2000. Final Table is Min. is $100 and Max. $5000\, and last hand can be 10\,000. \nWe were actually told the dollar amount that you want to be at to possibly move on. (Ask me I might tell you! 😊).  There were a number of players that just did not get it. They did not do anything to try to accumulate and get all chips possible. A lot of luck required and we were not the lucky ones but I would do this again for sure. \nPayout is $10\,000 Cash for top prize\, Prize for 2nd place\, 2500 promo 2500 cash and the rest of places are promo chips only. \nSome dealers made everyone follow the rules (no changing bet – things like that) but some were not enforcing it and you had to watch everyone. Blackjack 2 to 1. \nAny Strategy ideas for this? I got to $6400 one round and was on board for a short time. \nA new Live! Casino’s now under construction in Bossier City\, LA.  Announced to be opening in 2025.

Depending on whether we need a quarter final or not will determine the time of the Semi Final\, Wild Card Table\, and Final Table.\n\nThe format for all play during the tournament is as follows: \n\nPlayers will start each session with $10\,000.00 in non-value tournament chips.\n\n\n(12) Twelve hands will be dealt in each Session.\n\n\nPrior to the first hand on each round\, the dealer will give each player one card from the shoe.  The first player to receive the highest card (Ace being highest)\, will have their position marked with the lamer signifying the “1st Play rotates from left to right starting with the “1st spot\, which is represented by a numbered marker which will move in a left to right order after each hand played. Once the lamer has been moved to the last spot on the table\, the dealer will move the lamer to the first position and continue moving from left to right after each hand.  This button will be numbered to represent the current hand being played (i.e.\, 1 – 12).\n\n\nAll players must wager a minimum of $100 each hand. There is no maximum bet.\n\n\nEach player\, in turn\, will make a wager. Once a player’s wager is placed in the betting circle\, it may not be changed until the hand is over. A player’s entire bet must be placed in the betting area at once\, no “string betting” (placing one chip in the betting circle at a time) will be allowed. A player may place a wager before it is their turn\, but the wager may not be changed after it is set.\n\n\nAll wagers will be made in a timely manner\, if there is too long of a delay in wagering the dealer will announce to the player that they have 15 seconds to place a wager. If the player does not comply\, they will receive the minimum bet and play will continue.\n\n\nAny player not seated when the round starts will have the minimum wager removed from their chip stack and returned to the rack. After (3) three hands missed a player will be considered as forfeiting their spot and their bankroll will be collected into the rack. Players absent may request a player position in a later round pending availability.\n\n\nAt the end of the 10th hand all players chips will be counted and their total announced so that all players at the table can hear and see each player’s total at that point.\n\n\nAfter the 12th hand\, all players still in play will have their chips counted by the dealer and their total announced the highest total will advance to the next round. 1 winner per table\, per round.\n\n\nIf a player’s wager exceeds what is available to pay from the rack the Floor Supervisor will purchase the chips back from the player using a lamer(s) representing the amount of chips being exchanged.  The Floor Supervisor will place the lamer(s) in front of the player offering the exchange\, and the dealer will run down the chips and place them in the rack after the Floor Supervisor has verified the correct amount.  The lamer(s) in possession of the player must be separated from the player’s non-value gaming chips and must be in clear view at all times.  The Floor Supervisor will retain all lamer (s) not in possession of a player.\n\n\nIf multiple players have the same chip count and there is only one spot for advancement there will be a (3) three hand play off. If there is still a tie the players will cut one card from a single facedown deck and the highest card drawn will advance\, ace being high.\n\n\nIf a dealer fails to move the “1st spot” marker or fails to change the hand marker and the error is discovered after cards are dealt\, but before any hand has been acted upon\, the hand will be declared a dead hand. No wagers will be collected or paid\, and the hand marker will be advanced to the correct spot and/or changed to signify the correct hand number. A new round of wagers will begin\, and the new hand will be dealt. There will not be a shuffle prior to continuing. Once the first player’s hand has been acted upon\, the hand will be considered valid\, and play will continue. After the completion of the hand\, the marker will move to the next player position and the correct hand number will be represented.\n\n\nThere will be no smoking\, eating\, or drinking at the table during tournament play.\n\n\nPlayers must keep their hands in plain sight at all times\, while the tournament is in progress. All chips must be stacked by denomination and be in full view of casino personnel and other players.   Chips must never be removed from the surface of the table doing so will be grounds for disqualification.\n\n\nCollusion among players or help from spectators is prohibited and will result in disqualification. The official language of the tournament is English.  No conversations in any other language are permitted during tournament play.  No communication\, either verbal or visual\, will be permitted between player and spectator.  Violation of these rules will result in disqualification from the tournament.\n\n\nNo written\, mechanical\, or electronic aids are allowed during tournament play.\n\n\nCase money wagers can be made for double downs below the table minimum\, however the initial bet must be at the table minimum. Players lacking sufficient non-value tournament chips to make a minimum bet will be considered finished for the session.\n\n\nIt is the player’s responsibility to communicate his/her desired action with the dealer.\n\n\nDealers may pay bets in any denomination they deem appropriate.\n\n\nNo toke bets are allowed for the dealers with tournament chips during play.\n\n\nAll protests must be handled at the table before players leave the table.\n\n\nA player is eliminated from play for violation of any of the tournament rules\, cheating\, or disorderly conduct.

Casino Hanover Maryland Tournament\nDiscussion in ‘BJTUSA Connect!‘ started by Lakegirl32\nJust wanted to share our thoughts on the Live! Casino in Hanover Maryland 25K Monthly Blackjack Tournament that we tried a few weeks ago.\nWe were on a trip out east and made this tournament our last day of excitement. It was a different format than we are used to but honestly very fun. \nThe format is accumulative so try to get the highest score to get on the board. A digital board shows the top 10 scores and is updated continually. The top 6 high scores from whole night get into the finals. $50 buy in\, and you can only try 3 times. You can buy in all three times at once if you want or individually. Each ticket will say first try\, second try\, third try. \nThe casino games manager has it set up really well\, no long wait in lines. They have 4-6 tables set up in a separate area. You can play anytime you want\, it runs from 6 PM until 10 PM and it is rolling so as soon as one table is done they let in 5-6 more players and start again. 15 Hands and you start with $1000 in chips in preliminary rounds ($5000) if you make the final table. Min. Bet 50 and Max. 1000 until the last hand (15th hand) you can bet 2000. Final Table is Min. is $100 and Max. $5000\, and last hand can be 10\,000. \nWe were actually told the dollar amount that you want to be at to possibly move on. (Ask me I might tell you! 😊).  There were a number of players that just did not get it. They did not do anything to try to accumulate and get all chips possible. A lot of luck required and we were not the lucky ones but I would do this again for sure. \nPayout is $10\,000 Cash for top prize\, Prize for 2nd place\, 2500 promo 2500 cash and the rest of places are promo chips only. \nSome dealers made everyone follow the rules (no changing bet – things like that) but some were not enforcing it and you had to watch everyone. Blackjack 2 to 1. \nAny Strategy ideas for this? I got to $6400 one round and was on board for a short time. \nA new Live! Casino’s now under construction in Bossier City\, LA.  Announced to be opening in 2025.

Casino Hanover Maryland Tournament\nDiscussion in ‘BJTUSA Connect!‘ started by Lakegirl32\nJust wanted to share our thoughts on the Live! Casino in Hanover Maryland 25K Monthly Blackjack Tournament that we tried a few weeks ago.\nWe were on a trip out east and made this tournament our last day of excitement. It was a different format than we are used to but honestly very fun. \nThe format is accumulative so try to get the highest score to get on the board. A digital board shows the top 10 scores and is updated continually. The top 6 high scores from whole night get into the finals. $50 buy in\, and you can only try 3 times. You can buy in all three times at once if you want or individually. Each ticket will say first try\, second try\, third try. \nThe casino games manager has it set up really well\, no long wait in lines. They have 4-6 tables set up in a separate area. You can play anytime you want\, it runs from 6 PM until 10 PM and it is rolling so as soon as one table is done they let in 5-6 more players and start again. 15 Hands and you start with $1000 in chips in preliminary rounds ($5000) if you make the final table. Min. Bet 50 and Max. 1000 until the last hand (15th hand) you can bet 2000. Final Table is Min. is $100 and Max. $5000\, and last hand can be 10\,000. \nWe were actually told the dollar amount that you want to be at to possibly move on. (Ask me I might tell you! 😊).  There were a number of players that just did not get it. They did not do anything to try to accumulate and get all chips possible. A lot of luck required and we were not the lucky ones but I would do this again for sure. \nPayout is $10\,000 Cash for top prize\, Prize for 2nd place\, 2500 promo 2500 cash and the rest of places are promo chips only. \nSome dealers made everyone follow the rules (no changing bet – things like that) but some were not enforcing it and you had to watch everyone. Blackjack 2 to 1. \nAny Strategy ideas for this? I got to $6400 one round and was on board for a short time. \nA new Live! Casino’s now under construction in Bossier City\, LA.  Announced to be opening in 2025.
