Other Sports Rules

Wagers and proposition bets are offered to patrons and settled throughout the duration of games and events. Patrons are advised to check the individual sports rules sections for information on how wagers are settled as Minimum Length of Play rules do not relate to all wagers offered to Patrons.

For events where all participants are not listed and there is not a Field option, all bets are action. If a customer wishes to request BetMGM to offer lines on a new participant, then they can do so by contacting Customer Service. Where possible BetMGM will do so within a reasonable timeframe.

Dead Heat Rule

A dead heat is when two or more selections tie for a given position. In racing events (Motor Racing or Athletics for example), it could be due to both competitors crossing the line at the exact same time and the judge is unable to separate them. In other events, such as Golf, a dead heat occurs when players have scored the exact same score and are therefore classified in a joint position such as joint second place.

In a dead heat for first place, the stake money on a winning selection is divided by the number of winners in a dead heat. The full odds are then paid to the divided stake with the remainder of the money being lost.

For example: Kurt Busch and Denny Hamlin have dead heated for first place in a NASCAR race. If you backed either of these drivers, you would be paid half of your stake (BetMGM pays out half the stake for both selections). Therefore:

$100 on Kurt Busch at +100 = Half Stake $100 = $50 at +100 = $100 returns.

Or

$100 on Denny Hamlin at +800 = Half stake $100 = $50 at +800 = $450 returns.

Multi-selection Dead Heats

If there is a dead heat between multiple competitors, the following calculation applies:

Mgm Detroit Blackjack Rules Against

The number of positions tied for, divided by the number of players tied in that position.

For example:

1 Brooks Koepka

T2 Tommy Fleetwood

T2 Tiger Woods

T4 Justin Rose

T4 Jordan Spieth

Mgm Detroit Blackjack Rules Game

T4 Rickie Fowler

T4 Dustin Johnson

T4 Rory McIlroy

In this scenario there are two (2) players in a dead heat for second place, and five (5) players in a dead heat for fourth place. If you had picked a player to finish in the Top five, then those who finished tied for second place are both winners. Your full stake would then be paid out at full odds. However, if you had picked any of the players who finished tied for fourth place then those wagers would be settled differently. There are five (5) players in a dead heat for two (2) positions (fourth and fifth) and therefore you would be paid at 2/5 (two-fifths) of the stake.

For example, if you had $100 on Dustin Johnson Top 5 Finish at +200, your bet would be settled as follows:

• $100 on Dustin Johnson = 5 players tied for 2 positions = 2/5 (two-fifths) stake

2/5 of $100 = $40 at +200 = $120 returns

Standard Macau Rules

Blackjack in Macau has changed a lot between my first visit in 2007 and my second visit in 2009. As with most games there, the rules are becoming consolidated. The rules which most casinos follow are as follows.

• Six decks
• Dealer stands on soft 17
• Player may double on any first two cards, including after splitting
• Player may split to up to four hands, except aces may only be split once
• Player may take early surrender, except against a dealer ace (worth 0.24%)
• Continuous shuffler in use. Some casinos will let a small pile (about 52 cards) build up before putting them in the shuffler.

The house edge under these rules is 0.16%.

Following are some rule variations encountered in Macau.

• Player may re-split aces: This good rule is followed at the MGM and the Wynn. It lowers the house edge by 0.08%.
• Five decks: Some casinos may use five decks, rather than six. I'm told the Hotel Lisboa uses five decks, but the Grand Lisboa uses six, for example. Using five decks, as opposed to six, lowers the house edge by 0.01%. Due to this small effect, I do not keep track of who uses five and who uses six, but assume everybody uses six.
• Player loses all bets when splitting and dealer gets a blackjack: This unfavorable rule is followed at the Galaxy casinos. The player may still double safely, and only lose his original bet if the dealer gets a blackjack.
• Player may split to only three hands: This unfavorable rule is also followed at Galaxy casinos.

The following table shows the rules and house edge at all six casino concessions in Macau. Please report any errors.

* See exception for Pharaoh's Palace below.

Note: I have an uncomfirmed report that the Wynn no longer uses a discard pile, and the Venetian does. I'm awaiting a confirmation, but until then I'm going by the last known rules at the time I was last in Macau in August 2009.

The following two tables show the basic strategies in Macau. Use the one of the left for any casinos other than the Galaxy properties, and the one on the right for Galaxy casinos.

Pharaoh's Palace Rules

I'm told the Pharaoh's Palace still deals blackjack with an old and unusual set of rules. I believe many SJM casinos used to offer these rules, but most have converted to the standard game. However, a reader tells me you can find the following set of rules at the Pharaoh's Palace. I do not know if every game follows these rules, or just certain tables.

• 5 decks.
• Dealer stands on soft 17.
• Player may double only on 11.
• Dealer does not take a hole card. If dealer has blackjack player will lose entire bet, including additional wagers for doubling and splitting.
• Double after a split allowed.
• Player may surrender on any initial two cards, except against a dealer ace.
• The player may choose to win half his bet with any five-card hand, except against a dealer ace. This option is not available after splitting.
• A player 7-7-7 or suited 6-7-8 in his initial hand will immediately pay 3 to 1. Splitting will void this rule.
• Resplitting aces is allowed.
• Continuous shuffler.

The house edge under these rules is 0.00%. Following is the basic strategy under these rules. I title the strategy 'Lisboa Blackjack,' because when I first made it, the game was still available at the Lisboa.
