Filed as: South Dakota Commission on Gaming amendment of Administrative Rules
South Dakota casinos can now offer the 21+3 bonus wager as an optional side bet on standard blackjack games using one to eight decks instead of being limited to only two or six decks. The rule eliminates previous restrictions on how the game operates and replaces a single paytable structure with multiple game variants—including Classic, Xtreme, Progressive, Multi-Level Progressive, and Dynamic Progressive options—each with different payout schedules that casinos can choose to offer. Players make an optional 21+3 wager alongside their regular blackjack bet, and payouts are determined by whether their three-card hand (their two cards plus the dealer's up card) matches specified poker hand rankings on the chosen paytable. The new structure gives licensed gaming establishments greater flexibility in how they offer this bonus wager to customers.
