When a player’s first three cards are suited 7s and the dealer’s up card is any 7, that player wins a $1,000 Super Bonus when a $5 minimum bet is being played, or a $5,000 Super Bonus when a $25 bet is being played. The Super Bonus Payoff requires no special side bet.

The game is played with the dealer hitting “soft 17.” The player cannot surrender when the dealer’s hand is a blackjack or if he has taken a hit. Surrender allows the player to forfeit half of his wager and drop from the hand. Otherwise, surrender on first two cards is permitted. Early surrender (before peek) is not permitted.
