Blackjack

CARDS

A standard deck of 52 cards is used. The King, Queen and Jack count 10 points. The Ace can count 11 or 1 points. All other cards count their numeric value.

BET

Before the cards are dealt you can bet money between the maximum and minimum specified in the Options screen. You cannot bet more money than you have in your balance. The dealer does not bet.

PLAY

You are dealt two cards face-up while the dealer is dealt two cards with only one face-up. The object of the game is make a hand with point total higher than the dealer's without going over 21. If you want to add a card to your hand you must hit. When you're happy with your hand you stand and let the dealer play. The dealer must always hit with a total of 16 or less and stand with a total of 17 or more. A Blackjack hand consists of an Ace and a 10, Jack, Queen or King. If you are dealt two cards with the same rank they may be split into two separate hands which can be played independently. You may also double down which will double your original bet and give you one more card in your hand. If you hit or double down and your total goes over 21, you are busted and the dealer automatically wins.
