AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING
AMENDING REDDING MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 6.14, CARD
ROOMS, BY ADDING THREE ADDITIONAL CARD GAMES TO SECTION
6.14.150, AUTHORIZED GAMES.
The City Council of the City of Redding does ordain as follows:
Section 1. Redding Municipal Code Section 6.14.150, Authorized.
Games, is amended as follows:
I. THE FOLLOWING GAMES ARE ADDED TO PARAGRAPH A:
8. Hi-Hi-Lo Poker
9 . Asian Poker (Push Nine)
10 . California Baccarat.
II. THE FOLLOWING GAMES/DEFINITIONS ARE ADDED TO PARAGRAPH B:
8 . "Hi-Hi-Lo Poker" means a game played with a standard 52-card
deck and one joker. The joker is used as an ace in the one-
card Hi and two-card Hi hands, and as the Lo card missing in
the three-card Lo hand. Every participating player makes
three equal bets of any desired amount.
The dealer is the house dealer who runs the game and collects
a per-hand fee in advance of the cards being dealt. The game
starts by the dealer dealing one card to each player, face
up, in rotation. The player with the highest card (ace high)
has the option to be the player banker for up to three
consecutive hands. The players are participants in the game. (�
The dealer then shuffles all the cards and, starting from the �1
left hand of the player banker, the deck must be cut by one
of the players. Each player is dealt six cards by the
dealer, one at a time, face down, in rotation, which the
player arranges to make three hands: a one-card hand for Hi, �)
a two-card hand for Hi, and a three-card hand for Lo.
Rankings are based on basic poker rankings, thus the highest
hand for the one-card Hi hand would be an ace; the highest
hand for the two-card Hi hand would be two aces; and the
lowest hand for the three-card Lo hand would be Ace-2-3 .
The object of the game is that each player' s one-ca.rd Hi,
two-card Hi, and three-card Lo hands are compared against the
player banker' s respective one-card Hi, two-card Hi, and
three-card Lo hands to determine if the player wins the hand.
If the player wins the hand, the player banker pays the
player. If the player banker loses the hand, the player
forfeits his wager for the hand or there is a tie.
In the event of tie hands: On the one-card Hi hand, the
player banker will take the bet if both the player and the
player banker have an ace. All other ties will be considered
as a push. A tie in the two-card Hi hand or the three-card
Lo hand will be considered a win for the player, and the
player banker will pay the amount of the bet.
9 . "Asian Poker (Push Nine)" means a game played with a standard
52-card deck; no joker. All cards are played at face value,
and there are no wild cards. The ranking of the hands are:
Three of a kind, aces being high
Straight
Three face cards
Points, 9 being high.
The dealer is the house dealer who runs the game and collects
a per-hand fee in advance of the cards being dealt. To
determine who starts with the dealer button, the dealer deals
one card to each player, face up, in rotation. The player
with the highest card (ace high) gets the dealer button.
Thereafter, the winner of the previous pot receives the
dealer button.
The game is played with up to nine players; and all action
starts from the dealer button. Each player is dealt three
cards, one at a time in rotation. One player to a hand. One
bet and three raises. Each player antes, and betting begins
(example: playing a $1 ante, the betting is $1-3 ; playing a
$2 ante, the betting is $1-6) . If there is a push, or tie
(e.g. , two players having a 9) , a new hand is played. All
other players may buy in for half the pot value if they wish.
The object of the game is to obtain the best poker hand and
garner the pot.
10. "California Baccarat" means a game played with a shoe that
contains eight standard 52-card decks plus. eight jokers. The
total number of cards in a shoe is 424.
2
All cards have their face value, with the exception of the
joker that can be played as a wild card. A joker may have
any numerical value from 0 to 9. Face cards have the value
of 0 . The value of each hand is determined by adding the
numerical values of the cards of the hand.
The object of the game is to obtain a hand that the sum of
its cards is 9 or the closest under to it. Players will
receive two cards starting with the action button. The
players have the option of drawing one card. A hand that
contains a joker automatically has the value of 9 . A hand
that contains two jokers is a natural 9 and is better than
all other non-natural 91s. If the sum of cards in a hand is
more than 10, the value of that hand is the sum of the hand
minus multiples of 10 (e.g. , 10+3+8=1) . Players must
position their hands. in the proper "hit" or "stand" box in
order to receive or not receive a draw card.
Each player has the option to be the player banker for two
consecutive hands on any betting position. The player banker
must shake the dice to randomly pick a position for the start
of the action. Player bankers holding a natural 9 will
automatically win all hands to the extent that money covers,
with the exception of other natural 9 ' s held by players. All
players, including the player banker, must draw = 0 ' s, 1 ' s,
2' s, 3 ' s, and 4' s, and stand on 7 ' s, 8 ' s, and 9' s. All
players have the option to "hit" or "stand" on 5 ' s, but must
"stand" on 6 ' s. The player banker has the option of "hit" or
"stand" on 5' s and 61s.
Game Rules:
(a) Players are responsible for protecting their hands, the
correct number of cards before the draw, and their
chips. Therefore, any discussion or comment regarding
the content of any hand is not allowed.
(b) Players are responsible for correctly playing their
hands. Prior to the opening of the player banker' s
hand, any attempt to change the hand from one box to
another will cause that hand to be played by the house
floor personnel according to the House Way.
(c) In the case of an inadvertent misplay of a "House Way"
hand, the draw cards will be readjusted to their correct
playing position.
(d) In the case of an inadvertent misplay of a hand by the
player, the draw cards may not be readjusted; that
player' s hand will automatically lose to the extent that
money covers; and all other hands will play as is.
Intentional misplaying of hands will not be tolerated.
(e) A misdeal is declared when ( 1) the deal is out of
position and two or more hands are looked at; ( 2) the
deal is out of position and the player banker' s hand is
looked at; ( 3) two or more players receive an incorrect
3
number of cards and the cards are not retrievable; and
( 4) the player banker does not have the correct number
of cards.
(f) A misdeal is not declared when the payoff is commenced.
(g) Seated players may not prohibit anyone from back-line
wagering.
Settlement of all hands starts with the action button. Hands
that have higher numerical value than the player banker' s
hand will win, and the hands that have lower numerical value
than the player banker will lose. All hands that have the
same value as the player banker' s (ties) are push hands and
receive no action.
All payoffs start with the action button. All payoffs extend
to the amount that the player banker' s wager covers. Players
who do not receive action on their wagers will receive
courtesy time for their next hand.
Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days after the
date of its adoption.
Section 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of
this Ordinance and cause its publication according to law.
