SUMMARY:Hard Rock Biloxi $500 (or more)\, Weekly Blackjack Tournament
DESCRIPTION:January 2 – January 30 \nHard Rock Biloxi has been very supportive of the Blackjack Tournament player community – Appreciation shown to them by our casino floor play is essential to keeping the events coming.  Thank you for your support of Hard Rock and many thanks to Hard Rock management and staff for their ongoing support Open Blackjack Tournaments! \n(Accuracy of contents not guaranteed) \nExtended to January 2\, 9\, 16\, 23 & 30 \nRegistration 2:00 PM – Play Starts 2:30 PM. Last buy in at 7:00 PM. Guaranteed prize pool of $500-With total of buy-ins as the final prize pool. \nNote:  So far these weekly events have been well attended and therefore they have paid over $1000 for 1st and over $500 for 2nd place. \n\nHard Rock Casino Biloxi will host a weekly Blackjack tournament.\nThese tournaments will be weekly throughout the rest of the year on the above dates.\nThe tournament will consist of preliminary sessions\, re-buy sessions\, possible quarter final\, semi-final\, a wild card table\, and final table.\nPlayers will gain entry into the tournament via a $20.00 entrance fee. 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 7:00pm).\nHard Rock Casino Biloxi guarantees a prize pool of at least $500 however\, the entire amount from preliminary buy-ins and re-buys 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 at the rate of: 50% to 1st place\, 25% to 2nd place & 5% to the remaining 5 positions (3rd – 7th).\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 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.\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 7:00pm. Re-buy tables will be kept separate from Preliminary tables and will be available as soon as players start buying in with Re-buys. If a Quarter Final is needed\, we will have positions available at 7:30pm\nand 8:00pm. Depending on weather 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(12) Twelve hands will be dealt in each Session.\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 spot. 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 (Le.\,1 -12).\nAll players must wager a minimum of $100 each hand. There is no maximum bet.\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\nbe allowed. A player may place a wager before it is their turn\, but the wager may not be changed after it is set.\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.\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\nabsent may request a player position in a later round pending availability.\nAt the end of the 10th hand all players chips will be counted and their total announced so that\nall players at the table can hear and see each player’s total at that point.\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.\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.\nIf multiple players have the same chip count and there is only one spot for advancement there will be a (3) three hand playoff. If there is still a tie the players will cut one card from a single face down deck and the highest card drawn will advance\, ace being high.\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\nadvanced 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.
