Section 13:69F-2.7 - Payment of blackjack; even-money payout option for certain insurance wagers

(a) If the first face up card dealt to the dealer is a two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine and a player has blackjack, the dealer shall announce and pay the blackjack at odds of 3 to 2 and, unless the player has also made a blackjack bonus wager pursuant to 13:69F-2.20, shall remove the player's cards before any player receives a third card.

(b) If the first face up card dealt to the dealer is an ace, king, queen, jack, or 10 and a player has a blackjack, the dealer shall announce the blackjack but shall make no payment nor remove any cards until all other cards are dealt to the players and the dealer receives his or her second card. If, in such circumstances, the dealer's second card does not give him or her blackjack, the player having blackjack shall be paid at odds of 3 to 2. If, however, the dealer's second card gives him or her blackjack, the wager of the player having blackjack shall be void and constitute a stand off.

(c) If the first face up card dealt to the dealer is an ace and a player has blackjack, a casino licensee may, notwithstanding (b) above and before any additional cards are dealt, offer the player the option to be paid at odds of 1 to 1 on the blackjack wager instead of making an insurance wager pursuant to 13:69F-2.9. If the casino licensee chooses to offer the even-money payout option authorized by this subsection, notice shall be provided by the casino licensee in accordance with 13:69F-8.3.
