All players start with $1000 in chips. Tournaments consist
of Round l, a Semi Round, and the Final Table. Bets are made
against the Casino Dealer. This is not a player banked
tournament. A Dealer Button rotates around the table to show
who receives first cards. The Dealer Button is placed even
at vacant spots where players have busted out and have left
the table. [Keep that in mind when you are trying to compute
which player will be last to bet at the end of the round.]
An 8 deck shoe is used. The first 4 cards are burned.
Penetration is deep. 

Surrender and Insurance are not offered. 

Blackjack pays 2 to 1. Suited Aces of Hearts pays 3 to l. 

You must bet in turn. Once the next player bets you can not
change your original bet. 

Round 1 consists of 32 hands. Minimum bet is $50 for first 8
hands. Minimum bet then increases to $100 for all remaining
hands. All In bets are allowed at any time. 

Three $40 re-buys are available at any time before hand 25
regardless of your chip count. You receive $1200 in chips
for each $40 re-buy. Play temporarily stops at the end of
hand 24 to accommodate re-buys.  

At the end of Round 1, the 3 players with the most chips
from each table advance to the Semi Round. Sometimes more
than 3 players advance to the Semi Round. 

The Semi Round consists of 16 hands. The two players with
the most chips advance to the Final Table. Sometimes more
than 2 advance. 

The Final Table consists of 16 hands. 

For all rounds, if you advance, you take your chip total
