4.3 All wagers at the game of blackjack shall be made by placing chips, with the smaller denomination chips on top, within the appropriate wager area of the blackjack layout.

4.4 Orally declared wagers shall be accepted only when accompanied by chips and if the dealer has sufficient time to place the wager on the layout prior to “No more bets” being called.

4.5 All winning wagers made in accordance with rule 4.1 of this division shall be paid at odds of one to one with the exception of blackjack, which (subject to rule 8.3) shall be paid at odds of three to two. Winning insurance wagers shall be paid in accordance with rule 9.5, and winning Super Sevens wagers in accordance with rules 14.3 and 14.4, of this division.

4.6 Once the dealer has called “No more bets” and the first card of any round has been removed from the shoe, no player shall handle, alter or withdraw any wager until a decision has been rendered and implemented with respect to the wager, except as expressly permitted by these rules, and no dealer or other person shall permit any player to do so.

4.7 Once an insurance wager or other optional wager (Super Sevens wager, double down, or split pairs) has been made and confirmed by the dealer, no player shall handle, alter or withdraw such wager until a decision has been rendered and implemented with respect to the wager, except as expressly permitted by these rules, and no dealer or other person shall permit any player to do so.

(a) who has not made a wager on the first round of a shoe; or

(b) who, after placing a wager on a round, declines to place a wager on any subsequent round of play,

to wager only the minimum wager displayed at the table until the cards are reshuffled and a new shoe is commenced. A Government inspector must be notified prior to a player being limited to a table minimum wager under this rule.

4.10 A wager shall be refused prior to the initial deal if, in the event of the player winning, it would not be possible to pay the wager exactly in chips.

4.11 If a wager is inadvertently made and accepted in contravention of rule 4.10, as much of that wager as could be paid exactly in chips, were that portion of the wager to win, shall be regarded as valid, and the remainder of the wager shall be void.
