Once the wager is made, the
Player is dealt two cards face up. The Dealer
is also dealt two cards. If the total value
of the Player's cards is closer to 21 than
the Dealer, the Player wins as much as was
wagered. The Player also wins if the Dealer
goes over 21 and the Player has not busted.
If the Player's total goes over 21, the Player
loses the amount wagered.

Hits any total 16 or less. |
| Dealer

| Card
Values |
| Suits
of the cards have no meaning in the game. |
| Cards
2 through 10 are the face value. |
| Jacks, Queens and Kings are all
valued at 10. |
| Aces
can count as either 1 or 11 whichever is
more advantageous. |
If the Player has a hand that consists of a

17 or drop its value to 7.
The Ace may count as 1 or 11. You may change
the value of the Ace as the hand progresses.
Player Actions/Wagers
and Button Descriptions
BET - To place a bet, the Player must click on the
chip value that they wish to wager.
DEAL - Press Deal to begin the game once a wager
has been placed. The Player gets two cards face
up and the Dealer gets two cards.
HIT - Player desires another card to be dealt. The
Player may take a hit at any time before standing.
STAND - Player desires to keep hand dealt. The game
will automatically stand when the Player has
21 or after doubling down.
SPLIT - If the Player's first two cards are of the
same value (i.e. 7, 7, or Q, K) they may be
split into 2 separate hands by placing a second
wager of equal value. The Player may have up
to 3 hands at one time.
The Player then proceeds to draw cards as usual,
with these exceptions:
If a Player splits two aces, only one additional
card is dealt for each hand. A hand totaling
21 after splitting aces is considered 21, not
Blackjack.
DOUBLE - When a Player has been dealt the first two
cards and believes that the third card will
give them a position to beat the Dealer's hand,
they can "double down." The wager
is doubled, and one additional card is dealt
to the Player. The hand is automatically stood,
and the Dealer then completes its hand comparing
it to the Players' total.
BLACKJACK - is achieved when first two cards total 21.
Blackjack beats a score of 21 consisting of
3 or more cards.
BUST - is achieved when total value of cards for
either the Dealer or the Player exceeds 21.
If the Player busts the wager is lost, if the
Dealer busts the Player automatically wins the
wager.
PUSH - is achieved when the value of the Dealer's
cards (from 17 to 21) and the Player's cards
are equal resulting
in neither winning. It also results in the return
of the Player's wager.
INSURANCE - gives you a chance to protect yourself when
you believe the Dealer might have Blackjack.
If the Dealer's first card is an ace, and the
Player believes the Dealer's hole card (face
down) value is 10, the Player may purchase insurance
against Dealer Blackjack at the price of half
their initial bet. If the Dealer does have Blackjack,
the insurance pays 2 to 1, which corresponds
to the amount of the initial bet. If the Player
has bought insurance and the Dealer does not
have Blackjack, the Player loses his insurance.
The Player's initial bet is then settled by
comparing his cards with the Dealer's. If the
Dealer and the Player both have Blackjack, the
game results in a push with the Player profiting
by the amount won by taking insurance - also
called "even money".
