$5,000 Added Blackjack Tournaments - Hustler Casino

Match play coupons are no longer given. There are no slot
machines at this casino. 

Registration starts at 5 p.m., and 1st rounds begin at 6.
Anytime during the 1st 20 minutes you can buy an additional
$1,000 in chips for $50. 

Fifty-Five dollar re-buys are allowed for 1st round 
sessions
2 and 3. 

A Second Chance Round for an additional $55 is played after
the 1st rounds. No re-buys are allowed during or after the
Second Chance round. 

The difference between the purchase of $1000 additional
chips for $50 and the $55 re-buys is that with the $55
re-buys you sign up to play in the next round, not the
current round that you started in. The $50 re-buy allows 
you
to remain in your current round. 

Whenever possible all rules are the same as in live games 
of
the "New" 21st Century Blackjack. Players bank this game
with tournament chips. The cards for the player acting as
the banker are dealt to the dealer. 

There are minimum bet and bank amounts which double at set
intervals. All in bets are allowed. A casino dealer deals
from an eight deck shoe and makes payments and collects
winnings for the bank. The bank starts at seat one and
rotates clockwise each hand. Seat one always receives the
first card unless acting as banker. You can not refuse
when it is your turn to bank. Players with chip counts less
than minimum bet and bank requirements must go all in. The
amount banked limits the total amount that can be won or
lost each hand. 

The dealer's hole card is used to determine where the 
Action
starts. The starting position of the Action is the start of
where winning bets are paid and losing bets are collected
for the bank.

The two top chip leaders from each table for each round
advance directly to the final round. You only have to beat
the players at your table. 

Usually 18 or 20 players start the final round, but only 8
persons finish in the money.

This tournament is held on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays. The
casino has published a schedule through Dec. 20, 2007.

1st place receives 40% of the prize pool. Additional 1st
rounds are added if enough sign ups. The prize pool
increases as more sign ups are sold. The casino adds $5000

collected.
