Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) After the first two cards are dealt to a player and the player's point total is announced, the player may elect to discontinue play on his or her hand for that round by surrendering one-half the amount of his or her wager(s). A player may also elect to surrender after additional cards are drawn, after a hand is split and after doubling down. A player may not elect to surrender after he or she decides to stand.

1. If the first card dealt to the dealer is a two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine, the dealer shall immediately collect one-half the amount of the player's wager(s) and return one-half to the player.

2. If the first card dealt to the dealer is an ace, king, queen, or jack, the dealer shall place the player's wager(s) on top of the player's cards. When the dealer's second card is revealed, the hand shall be settled by immediately collecting the entire wager if the dealer has blackjack, or by collecting one-half the amount of the player's wager(s) and returning one-half to the player if the dealer does not have blackjack.

3. If a card reader device is employed on the game, the casino licensee shall have the option to, when a player elects to surrender, collect one-half the amount of the player's wager(s) and return one-half to the player immediately regardless of the dealer's up card, provided that the dealer has already determined that he or she does not have a blackjack.

(b) If the player has made an insurance wager and then elects to surrender, each wager shall be settled separately, and one wager shall have no bearing on the other.
