Super nine is a fast-paced game that resembles baccarat. In the game, a dealing shoe is used to hold decks of cards that do not contain 7s, 8s, 9s, and 10s. The house dealer deals three cards to each player, including the banker. Each player then has the opportunity to draw one additional card. The object of the game is for your cards to total as close to nine as possible. The goal is for your hand to beat the banker’s hand.  Bank hand wins pushes on “0” and “1”.

In super nine, all picture cards have a value of zero. The value of the hand is the value of the “ones” column in the total of the hand. For example, a player receives 6, 4, 3 in the first three cards. This hand totals13, but the hand has a value of three. The player draws a 5. The hand totals 18, but the value of the hand is now eight.

Rules for Pan Nine

• 1. All action proceeds in a clockwise direction starting from the action button.
• 2. You may not show your hand to, or discuss your hand, with any other player at any time during play.
• 3. The total count of the dice points after opening the dice cup determines which player is dealt to first and has first action. The banker’s position is always 1, 9, and 17, no matter how many players are seated. Examples: If the dice points total 8, the player to the banker’s right will receive the first card and has first action.

On the draw, the first player to the banker’s left is offered the option of one additional card. The option continues until the banker has the option of drawing the last card.

• 4. You may look at only one hand, regardless of the number of hands on which you have wagered.
• 5. A misdeal will be declared if:

a. It has been determined before the deal is complete that cards have gone to the wrong spot.

b. The banker has the wrong number of cards.

c. During the deal the shoe runs out of cards. (If the shoe runs out of cards during the draw, a portion of the discards will be shuffled and used to finish the draw.)

• 6. All exposed cards on the deal play. On the draw, an exposed card will be replaced after the banker has acted on his or her hand and before the players’ hands are read. (An exposed card is defined as one that lands face up on the table.)
• 7. A boxed card in the shoe is a non-existent card and is immediately replaced by the next card in the shoe.
• 8. If the house dealer deals a card off the table, the card is a dead card and the player receives the next card.
• 9. Statements regarding the value of your hand are not binding. The cards read for themselves.
• 10. Each player who wishes a fourth card must request a card in turn. You may do so in one way:

By placing your cards in the appropriate box in front of you in the manner detailed in the game description section.

• 11. When the banker’s three-card hand totals 4 or less, the house dealer automatically draws a card for the banker.
• 12. When the banker’s three-card hand totals 7, 8, or 9, the hand automatically stands (plays as is).
• 13. When you request assistance on the play of a hand, the house dealer plays the hand according to Hawaiian Gardens Casino guidelines: (“Logical Way”)

a. Draw on 5 or less, and
b. Stand on 6 or more.

After the banker’s hand has been opened and set, all of the ”logical” way hands will be opened and checked. Management will reset any hand that has been played incorrectly by a house dealer.

• 14. Once the banker’s hand is open, no one else may act on his or her hand. If the banker’s hand is inadvertently exposed prior to the completion of the draw, the remaining hands will be played the logical way.
• 15. After the announcement “All hands set” has been made, you may not touch or alter your wager. Penalty: Possible forfeiture of that wager to the extent that money covers.
• 16. If you miss your opportunity to draw, the house dealer will back up the draw cards in order for you to receive the proper draw card.
• 17. In the event that a player repositions their hand from one box to the other after the draw passes that seat, the hand will be played the logical way. The exceptions are hands that are 5 or 6, these hands will play as they are.
• 18. If the banker has not drawn a card, the house dealer must determine that the banker has made a commitment to stand, announce the total, and proceed to settle the wagers.
• 19. A misdeal will not be declared after the draw has commenced, except when the banker’s hand does not have three cards.
• 20. If a card has been removed from the shoe because of dealer error, the card will be placed directly under the shoe, and will be the next card in play.
• 21. A boxed card out of the shoe never plays.
• 22. All players are responsible for protecting their own hands. If you foul your hand through your carelessness with other cards, your wager is forfeited to the extent that money covers.
• 23. If you have an incorrect number of cards, you have a fouled hand. It is your responsibility to notify the house dealer of a problem before the draw commences.

Your hand must remain in view of the dealer at all times, or you risk a fouled hand and forfeiture of your wager.
