What is the Insurance bet?

Dealer shows an ace? Time to cover your ass.

That’s what the Insurance Bet is for. It’s a side bet you make just in case the dealer hits Blackjack.

Here’s how it works:

It pays 2:1.

You’ll only see the option if the dealer’s face-up card is an Ace.

If you take it, you’re betting half your original stake.

It sits separate from your main bet—and only wins if the dealer flips a Blackjack.

Sometimes it’s worth the hedge. Sometimes it’s just noise. Your call.
