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. \nPreliminary Rounds will begin at 2:30pm and continue until 6:30pm.

When the hand is finished\, the Dealer will remove one minimum bet chip from the player’s stack and place the chip in the Dealer’s rack. After (5) hands if the player has not returned\, they will be disqualified by default\, and their chips will be picked up.\nMisdealt hands that cannot be backed up will void all hands\, all losing bets will be returned and all winning bets will be recovered. Bets may be adjusted by the players in betting order\, and a replacement hand will be completed.\nOnce the Dealer has exposed their hand\, the Dealer will pay winning hands and collect from losing hands in accordance with standard Blackjack procedures.\nAt the end of the semi-finals and final round\, all of the players’ chips will be counted and the player(s) with the most chips will be declared the table winner(s).\nIf more than one player is to advance\, the players who have the most chips will be the ones to advance.\nTies – If two or more players are tied\, each remaining participant will receive $10\,000 in tournament chips and a five (5) hand playoff will be used to determine the advancing player or winner.

SUMMARY:Hard Rock Biloxi $500 (Typically more)\, Weekly Blackjack Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Hard Rock Biloxi has been very supportive of the Blackjack Tournament player community –  Thank you for your support of Hard Rock Biloxi and many thanks to Hard Rock management and staff for their ongoing support of Open Blackjack Tournaments! \n(Accuracy of contents not guaranteed) \nSpecial note: The popular weekly tournament event was resumed on February 4\, 2025.  The last weekly event of this series will be held on August 26\, 2025. \n4:00 PM buy-in time  and 4:30 start time for the first round play.  \nGuaranteed prize pool of $500-With total of buy-ins as the final prize pool. Note: So far these weekly events have been well attended and growing therefore they have paid $1\,000 to $1\,400+ for 1st and $500 to $700+ for 2nd place. \nWeekly Blackjack Tournaments  \nHard Rock Casino Biloxi will host a Blackjack tournament weekly starting February 4\, 2025. \nThese tournaments will be weekly every Tuesday. \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 preliminary round at 6:30pm). \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. \n50% to 1st place \n25% to 2nd place \n5% 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 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. \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. \nPreliminary Rounds will begin at 2:30pm and continue until 6:30pm. 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. \nThe format for all play during the tournament is as follows: \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 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). \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 be 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 absent 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 all 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 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. \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. \nThere will be no smoking\, eating\, or drinking at the table during tournament play. \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. \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. \nNo written\, mechanical\, or electronic aids are allowed during tournament play. \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. \nIt is the player’s responsibility to communicate his/her desired action with the dealer. \nDealers may pay bets in any denomination they deem appropriate. \nNo toke bets are allowed for the dealers with tournament chips during play. \nAll protests must be handled at the table before players leave the table. \nA player is eliminated from play for violation of any of the tournament rules\, cheating\, or disorderly conduct. No fee will be returned. \nPlayers may voluntarily withdraw from the tournament. \nAny player disputes will be handled by the tournament supervisor and his/her decision will be final. \nBlackjack pays 2-1\, insurance will not be offered. \nDealer will hit on soft 17; all other Hard Rock Biloxi Blackjack rules will apply. \nVendors or immediate family of a vendor who provide promotional items for tournaments\, promotions or drawings are prohibited from participation in that activity. \nHard Rock employees and their immediate family members are eligible for membership in the Hard Rock Biloxi’s Encore Players Club and are eligible to receive complimentary based on play but are not permitted to participate in drawings\, promotions\, tournaments\, or giveaways without prior written notification to MGC. \nParties determined to be ineligible will forfeit any prize monies awarded; the forfeited funds will be split evenly among the remaining winners\, excluding the grand prizewinner. \nThe Mississippi Gaming Commission reserves the right to investigate any and all complaints and disputes regarding tournaments\, promotions\, and drawings.

SUMMARY:Hard Rock Biloxi $500 (Typically more)\, Weekly Blackjack Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Hard Rock Biloxi has been very supportive of the Blackjack Tournament player community –  Thank you for your support of Hard Rock Biloxi and many thanks to Hard Rock management and staff for their ongoing support of Open Blackjack Tournaments! \n(Accuracy of contents not guaranteed) \nSpecial note: The popular weekly tournament event was resumed on February 4\, 2025.  The last weekly event of this series will be held on August 26\, 2025. \n4:00 PM buy-in time  and 4:30 start time for the first round play.  \nGuaranteed prize pool of $500-With total of buy-ins as the final prize pool. Note: So far these weekly events have been well attended and growing therefore they have paid $1\,000 to $1\,400+ for 1st and $500 to $700+ for 2nd place. \nWeekly Blackjack Tournaments  \nHard Rock Casino Biloxi will host a Blackjack tournament weekly starting February 4\, 2025. \nThese tournaments will be weekly every Tuesday. \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 preliminary round at 6:30pm). \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. \n50% to 1st place \n25% to 2nd place \n5% 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 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. \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. \nPreliminary Rounds will begin at 2:30pm and continue until 6:30pm. 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. \nThe format for all play during the tournament is as follows: \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 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). \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 be 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 absent 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 all 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 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. \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. \nThere will be no smoking\, eating\, or drinking at the table during tournament play. \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. \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. \nNo written\, mechanical\, or electronic aids are allowed during tournament play. \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. \nIt is the player’s responsibility to communicate his/her desired action with the dealer. \nDealers may pay bets in any denomination they deem appropriate. \nNo toke bets are allowed for the dealers with tournament chips during play. \nAll protests must be handled at the table before players leave the table. \nA player is eliminated from play for violation of any of the tournament rules\, cheating\, or disorderly conduct. No fee will be returned. \nPlayers may voluntarily withdraw from the tournament. \nAny player disputes will be handled by the tournament supervisor and his/her decision will be final. \nBlackjack pays 2-1\, insurance will not be offered. \nDealer will hit on soft 17; all other Hard Rock Biloxi Blackjack rules will apply. \nVendors or immediate family of a vendor who provide promotional items for tournaments\, promotions or drawings are prohibited from participation in that activity. \nHard Rock employees and their immediate family members are eligible for membership in the Hard Rock Biloxi’s Encore Players Club and are eligible to receive complimentary based on play but are not permitted to participate in drawings\, promotions\, tournaments\, or giveaways without prior written notification to MGC. \nParties determined to be ineligible will forfeit any prize monies awarded; the forfeited funds will be split evenly among the remaining winners\, excluding the grand prizewinner. \nThe Mississippi Gaming Commission reserves the right to investigate any and all complaints and disputes regarding tournaments\, promotions\, and drawings.
