Super Pan 9 is played with eight decks of cards, minus the 7s, 8s, 9s and 10s,
for a total of 288 cards.
The game is dealt to 7 or 8 players (positions) on a poker-style table.
The house dealer controls the shuffling and dealing of the cards, the orderliness
of the game and the house collection for each hand.
The Dealer Button denotes which of the 7 or 8 players is the player/banker for
that hand. Each player may bank twice, and the button rotates clockwise.
A player may decline or accept the player/banker button. All players play their
hand against the player/banker's hand only.
The dice cup, containing 3 dice, is shaken by the player/banker to determine
which seated player (position) receives the action button. The action button
denotes which hand is to be first when the play begins. The player/banker is
always counted as numbers 1, 8 or 15 for 7 handed, or 1, 9 or 17 for 8 handed games.
The house dealer will deal each player three cards, one at a time, starting at the action button.
The player/banker's cards are placed in front of the house dealer and are kept face down.
Hits will be delivered starting with the player next to the player/banker in a clockwise rotation.
The players may stand on their hand or draw one additional card.
