Big Five Blackjack Gold Rules
Late Surrender
When playing Big Five Blackjack Gold you are allowed a "Late Surrender" option
- this is to surrender half your original bet in order to avoid playing out
the rest of a potentially losing hand. A late surrender is however not allowed
when the Dealer is showing an Ace.
Splitting Rules
If you Split a pair of Aces (or any pair of cards containing an Ace) and
then draw a card with the value of 10, you do not have Blackjack, only 21.
Split up to 3 times to make 4 hands
Aces can only be split once.
If you Split a pair of Aces, each Ace may only receive one additional card,
and then the hand must Stand
Double Down Rules
You can Double Down on any first two cards. The Double Down bet amount is
equal to your original bet.
You may Double Down after a Split
You may not Double Down if you have a Blackjack
Insurance Rules
Insurance is not applicable to any second hands after a Split or a Double Down.
Insurance pays you out at 2:1. If the Dealer ends up not having a Blackjack,
you lose the value of the Insurance bet.
