6.1.1. BLACKJACK AND WHEELS OF FORTUNE

6.1.1(A) Blackjack

The object of blackjack is to achieve a better hand than the dealer’s. A player wins if he or she has a higher total than the dealer without exceeding 21 points (busting), or if the dealer’s total exceeds 21. Each card is counted at face value, except the ace, which can be valued at one (1) or 11 points at the player’s discretion, and the face cards (jack, queen and king), which count as 10 points each.

6.1.1 (B) Wheels of fortune

A wheel of fortune is a game where players wager non-negotiable chips on the spin of a wheel in order to win a prize. Players set their wagers, then the wheel is spun. The wheel must complete at least three (3) full revolutions and come to a complete stop before prizes may be awarded. The prizes are based on the total value of the chips wagered and the rules for winning on that particular wheel of fortune.

Licensees may use only wheels of fortune approved by the Registrar. The Registrar has approved the following wheels of fortune for use in the conduct of a special occasion gaming licence:

  • Crown and Anchor wheel
  • Over and Under 7 wheel
