It's not exactly the same as play it safe...I think, pls see below thanks

El objetivo es vencer Ia mano del crupier consiguiendo una mano con una puntuación superior, sin sobrepasar 21, o porque la mano del crupier se pase.
En el High Streak European Black Jack Gold Series:
El jugador solo puede apostar a una mano por partida.
El jugador puede conseguir pagos de bonus High Streak si hace una apuesta colateral High Streak.
El jugador puede apostar a seguro.
Nota:
El Black Jack se consigue cuando Ia mano contiene un as y una carta con un valor de diez.
Es Ia mano más fuerte del High Streak European Black Jack Gold Series y, cuando se consigue, el jugador se planta automáticamente.
No se puede superar, solo igualar.

take insurance
Explanation:
Insurance
If the dealer's upcard is an ace, the player is offered the option of taking "insurance" before the dealer checks the hole card.
Insurance is a side bet that the dealer has blackjack and is treated independently of the main wager.

Asegurar/seguro: jugada que consiste en apostar a que el crupier obtendrá blackjack, cuando su primera carta es un As. No se puede apostar en esta jugada por encima de la mitad de la apuesta inicial. Si el crupier obtiene blackjack paga al jugador dos veces la apuesta del seguro.
