One additional card must be dealt to the hand on which the player elects to double down. If a dealer obtains blackjack after a player doubles down, the dealer must collect the amount of the original wager of the player and may not collect the additional amount wagered in doubling down.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 16 SDR 57, effective October 1, 1989.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-7">42-7B-7.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-1">42-7B-1</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-2">42-7B-2</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-3">42-7B-3</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-4">42-7B-4</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-7">42-7B-7</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-14">42-7B-14</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-15">42-7B-15.</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
