Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to either make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s amount is equal to your original wager, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantly to the bank. After the wager is the conclusion. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, with a sum on par with the initial bet. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The dealer pays out cash equal to your bet and set expectations on your call wager.
