How To Play
-----------
"BlackJack", sometimes called "21", is a card game between you and the
dealer. Two cards are dealt to you "face up" and two cards are dealt to
the dealer, one of which is "face up". The second card is "face down", so
you do not know the dealer's point total. To win you must get a hand that
has a total of more points than the dealer's hand, but does not total more
than 21 points.
Card Points
--------- ---------
Ace, or 1 1 or 11
2 thru 10 2 thru 10
J, Q & K 10
If the dealer's two cards are an Ace and a "face card" (10, J, Q or K), he
has a "Blackjack" and wins regardless of what you have, and you lose your
bet. If you are dealt a "Blackjack", which is an Ace and a "face card" (10,
J, Q or K) you automatically beat the dealer and win double the amount of
your bet.
If you are dealt 2 cards that total 11 points, you may "double down",
whereby the amount of your bet is doubled, and you are dealt one, and only
one, more card.
If dealt two similar point cards (Two 1's, two 6's, or a J and a K) you
may "split" them and use them as the 1st card of two hands to play against
the dealer. The amount of your original bet will automagically be wagered
on both hands.
If the dealer is not dealt a "Blackjack", you are prompted to "Hit or Stand".
Select "Hit" and the dealer will give you another card. This prompt will be
repeated until you select "Stand", or your point total is over 21. If you
go "over 21" the hand is over (You lose your bet.) If your point total is
21 or less, the dealer's face down card will be turned face up. Regardless
of how many points your hand has, the dealer will draw cards until his hand
totals 17 or more points. At this point the bet is paid or collected, and
betting on the next hand may begin, provided you still have something to
bet, have enough time left, etc.
Scoring
-------
Scoring is very simple. The more you win, the higher your score. Scores are
reset once a month.
