Section 13:69F-36.5 - Attack wagers; payout odds

(a) If the point value of the player's hand exceeds 21, the player shall lose his or her first and, if placed, second and third attack wagers.

(b) If the point value of the player's hand is 21 (including blackjack) or if the player has a hand with six or more cards with a point value less than 21, the player shall win his or her first and, if placed, second and third attack wagers.

(c) If the point value of the player's hand is 20 or less with fewer than six cards and exceeds the point value of the dealer's hand or the dealer's hand exceeds 22, the player wins.

(d) If the point value of the player's hand is 20 or less with fewer than six cards and is equal to the point value of the dealer's or the point value of the dealer's hand is 22, the player's first and, if placed, second and third attack wagers shall be a push.

(e) All wagers at triple 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 in accordance with the rules of the Division.

(f) Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, no wager shall be made, increased or withdrawn after the first card of the respective round has been dealt.

(g) If the point value of a player's hand exceeds 21, the dealer shall immediately collect the player's attack wagers. After each round of play is complete, the dealer shall collect all remaining losing first, second, and third attack wagers and pay all winning first, second, and third attack wagers at odds of 1 to 1.

(h) 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.

(i) 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.

(j) After the cards have been shuffled, 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.
