Buying Insurance
Insurance is a protection side bet for the player and
pays 2-to-1. When a dealer has an ace showing, the
word “INSURANCE” will flash. At this point, you
have the option or each player has the option to take
insurance by placing up to half of his bet in the insur-
ance square. This means you’re betting that the deal-
er has 21. (The bet gets its name from the idea that
the player is buying insurance against the dealer
having blackjack.) If a dealer has 21, you win the
insurance bet. You lose this side bet if he doesn’t.
(Tip: Professional Blackjack players consid-
er buying insurance a bad strategy.)
