Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 19, October 7, 2024

Section 13:69F-26.5 - Wagers; payout odds

(a) An initial wager and a double attack wager shall win if:

1. The point total of the player is 21 or less and that of the dealer is in excess of 21;

2. The point total of the player exceeds that of the dealer without either exceeding 21; or

3. The player has a blackjack and the dealer has a point total of 21 in three or more cards.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in (a)3 above, a wager made in accordance with this section shall be void if the point value of the player's hand equals the point value of the dealer's hand or if both player and dealer have blackjack. However, an initial wager shall lose and a double attack wager shall be void if the dealer has a blackjack and the player does not have blackjack.

(c) All wagers at double attack blackjack shall be made by placing gaming chips or plaques and, if applicable, a match play coupon on the appropriate betting areas of the table layout. A verbal wager accompanied by cash may be accepted, provided it is confirmed by the dealer and casino supervisor, and that such cash is expeditiously converted into gaming chips or plaques.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, no wager shall be made, increased or withdrawn after the first card of the respective round has been dealt.

(e) After each round of play is complete, the dealer shall collect all losing initial and double attack wagers and pay off all winning initial and double attack wagers at odds of 1 to 1.

(f) Except as expressly permitted by this subchapter, once the first card of any hand has been removed from the shoe by the dealer, no player shall handle, remove or alter any wagers that have been made until a decision has been rendered and implemented with respect to that wager.

(g) Once an insurance wager, a wager to double down or a wager to split pairs has been made and confirmed by the dealer, no player shall handle, remove or alter such wagers until a decision has been rendered and implemented with respect to that wager, except as expressly permitted by this subchapter.

(h) After the cards have been shuffled pursuant to 13:69F-26.4, a casino licensee may, in its discretion, prohibit any person, whether seated at the gaming table or not, who does not make a wager on a given round of play from placing a wager on the next round of play and any subsequent round of play at that gaming table unless the casino licensee chooses to permit the player to begin wagering or until a reshuffle of the cards has occurred.
