Introduction
The objective of Blackjack is
for a player to come as close
to 21 without going over, while
still having a higher number
than the dealer. Prior to receiving
any cards, the player must place
a wager. 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 he wagered. The player wins
if the dealer goes over 21.

Game
Play
The following terminology is
used in the play of the game:
Bet - the Player may make
any wager desired within the
posted table limits.
Deal - the Player gets two
cards face up and the Dealer
gets two cards.
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 resulting
in a loss of 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.
Hit – Player desires
another card to be dealt.
Stand – Player desires
to keep hand dealt
Split – Player desires
hand to be split two cards
into separate hands.
Double – Player desires
to double bet and receive
another card.
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 (except in the game
of “Caribbean 21”where
the Ace has a value of 1 only).
If the player has a hand
that consists of a 6 and an
Ace, he may either consider
it at 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.

Descriptions
Deal
Clicking on the deal button
after placing a bet starts a
new game.
Hit
Clicking on the hit button
will deal the player an additional
card.
Stand
Clicking on the stand button
will keep the player’s
hand at its current value.
Split
If the player’s first
two cards are of the same
value (i.e. 7, 7, or Q, K)
he may split them into 2 separate
hands, placing a second wager
of equal value. The player
then proceeds to draw cards
as usual, with these exceptions:
If a player splits two aces,
he receives only one additional
card for each hand. A hand
totaling 21 after splitting
aces is considered 21, not
Blackjack.
Double
When a player has been dealt
two cards and believes that
a third card will give him
a position to beat the dealer’s
hand, he can “double.”
His wager is doubled, and
he is allowed to hit and receive
just one additional card.
Insurance
Insurance gives the player
a chance to protect himself
when he believes the dealer
might have Blackjack. If the
dealer’s first card
is an ace, he is considered
to have a fair chance of getting
Blackjack. If 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.
Late Insurance
Late Insurance allows the
player to delay the placement
of an insurance bet until
the end of the player’s
turn.
Surrender
Surrender gives the player
a chance to protect himself
when he believes that he will
lose the current hand. Once
a player hits surrender, the
player will receive 50% of
his current bet and 50% will
go to the house.
