§ 665a.9. Surrender.

 (a)  After the first two cards are dealt to the player, the player may elect to discontinue play on his hand for that round by surrendering. A player may also elect to surrender after additional cards are dealt to the player, after a hand is split as permitted under §  665a.11 (relating to splitting pairs) and after doubling down as permitted under §  665a.10 (relating to Double Down Wager). A player may not elect to surrender after deciding to stand.

 (b)  If the player elects to surrender and the first card dealt to the dealer:

   (1)  Is not an ace, king, queen or jack, the dealer shall immediately collect the cards of the player and 1/2 of the Bet Wager and Double Attack Wager, if applicable, and return the other 1/2 to the player.

   (2)  Is an ace, king, queen or jack, the dealer shall determine whether the hole card will give the dealer a Blackjack. The dealer shall insert the hole card into the card reader device in accordance with §  665a.7(g) (relating to procedure for dealing the cards; completion of each round of play). If the dealer:

     (i)   Has a Blackjack, the dealer shall collect the entire Bet Wager and the Bust It Wager, if applicable, and return the Double Attack Wager, if applicable, to the player.

     (ii)   Does not have a Blackjack, the dealer shall immediately collect the cards of the player and 1/2 of the Bet Wager and Double Attack Wager, if applicable, and return the other 1/2 to the player.

 (c)  If the player has made a Bust It Wager and then elects to surrender, the Bust It Wager must remain on the layout until settled in accordance with §  665a.7(m).

 (d)  If the player has made an Insurance Wager and then elects to surrender, each wager will be settled separately in accordance with subsection (b) and §  665a.8 (relating to Insurance Wager).
