2. “Naturals” (Blackjacks) pay 6 to 5 or 3 to 2.
3. If the player/dealers up card is a bonus ace, players may take insurance by placing an additional wager up to 1/2 of their original wager. Insurance wagers pay 2 to 1.
4. Players can surrender on their first two cards only after the dealer has checked for Blackjack if their hand does not exceed 20. If a player chooses to surrender, half of their wager will be forfeited and their play for that hand will cease. (Players must indicate that they wish to surrender before the next player acts). Any player betting with seated player is bound by seated player’s decision.
