Blackjack Surrender rules follow the same general outline as regular blackjack, but there are a few differences. The cards are always returned and reshuffled after each round. You are unable to split a hand that has already been split. If you split two aces, you are then only dealt one card. It is up to you the player to choose if you would like to double after splitting.



When playing Blackjack Surrender, if the dealer is showing an ace or a ten then they will check for a blackjack. Once the dealer checks for a blackjack hand you can still surrender on the first two cards if you do not like your chances of a win. However, if you do choose to surrender at this point, you need to be aware that this will then end the game round and you will only receive half of your bet back.



With Blackjack Surrender, you are able to split your cards into two separate hands if your first two cards have the same value. This also entitles you to double your bet by placing a second bet on your other hand, and also allows you to draw additional cards for your extra hand. However, if you split two aces, you may only draw one more card for each hand. Receiving an ace and a ten-value card in the first two cards gives you a blackjack hand, and you win the game straight away.



With Blackjack Surrender, you are able to double your bet if you think you are going to beat the dealer's hand after your third card. However, you can only raise your bet after your second card is dealt. If after your second card is dealt, you decide you do wish to double, you are then dealt one more card and your bet becomes twice the amount of the original.



In the first stages of Blackjack Surrender, you are able to insure your bet against the dealer having a blackjack if he has an ace in the first two cards of his original hand. Remember that the dealer only shows one of his cards, and the other is always left face down until the end of the round. An insurance bet is equal to half your initial bet, and is placed on a separate part of the table.



In Blackjack Surrender, insurance is not always on your side. If the dealer has no blackjack, then you lose your insurance. However, this way you get back twice the amount of your original bet and the insurance amount back as well. This happens only if the dealer is in fact holding a blackjack. It is sometimes possible for a player to draw 7 cards and not go bust when they have a split hand. When this happens, the player's hand automatically wins the round unless of course the dealer draws a blackjack.
