In order to win on the Bonus Spin side bet: (a) A player has an ace in the first two cards and is paid even money (for five dollar pay tables only); or (b) A player has a blackjack in the first two cards, not including splits and is paid the dollar amount or prize won from spinning the wheel at the end of the round; (2) After all bets have been placed, the dealer shall press "new game" then "begin game" on the interface to lock in the bets. The dealer shall collect all Bonus Spin wagers ensuring the interface accurately reflects all bets made; (3) The dealer then deals all players and the dealer's first two cards; (4) After the initial two cards are dealt, the dealer shall stop and immediately register on the interface any even money winners with an ace (if the casino is utilizing a five dollar pay table) or spin winners with a blackjack; (a) For even money winners, the dealer shall press the appropriate winning number spot one at a time which shall display "even money" on the interface; (i) If a player has an ace in the player's first two cards, the player shall be paid even money (if the casino is utilizing a five dollar pay table).

The dealer shall register this into the interface immediately after delivering all players' and the dealer's initial two cards.

After the payout the dealer shall press "winner paid" on the interface; (iv) When all bets are made for the next round, the dealer shall press "begin game" and the next round shall start by the dealer locking in and collecting all Bonus Spin side bets; (c) If the wrong betting spot or the incorrect payout is pressed, the dealer shall tap the spot again until it is cleared or corrected; (5) If there are no winners, before the next round, the dealer shall press "new game" on the interface, then "begin game" after all players have made their bets; (6) If no Bonus Spin side bets are made, then the game plays as regular blackjack and the dealer does not have to use the interface; (7) To verify a top prize winner: (a) The dealer shall leave the winning hand on the table and call the floor supervisor; (b) The floor supervisor shall notify surveillance and the pit manager; (c) Surveillance shall verify: (i) The hand was dealt properly; (ii) The Bonus Spin side bet was made; (iii) The winning hand is a natural blackjack; and (iv) The virtual wheel stopped on the top prize.
