Blackjack is a common card game, played by dedicated gamblers and bored
high school Seniors alike.
The goal is to acquire cards one at a time so that their sum is as close to
21 as possible without going over.
Aces are worth 11, unless you go over 21. Then they suddenly are worth 1,
in an attempt to save the hand.
If your first two cards are an Ace and a Ten, or an Ace and a Face Card
(Jack, Queen, King) you have a Blackjack... An automatic winner. Blackjack
hands pay off at 3:1. (A bet of 100 pays back 300 on a Blackjack!)
If you are able to get five cards and still have a hand of 21 or less
points, you have a FIVE CARD CHARLIE. A Five Card Charlie also pays
off at 3:1. Be careful! A Dealer's Five Card Charlie beats your hand,
even if you have 21! (Unless you have a Blackjack... nothing beats a
Blackjack).
If you get two cards that are the same, for instance two Fives, you have
the option to SPLIT them. For that round, you will actually be playing
two hands, each with a file in them. CAREFUL! This also costs you twice
the bet if you lose!
If the dealer has an Ace showing, you may buy insurance for the amount of
half of your current bet. If the dealer has a Blackjack and you bought
insurance, half of your bet is returned to you and the hand is over. If
you buy insurance and the dealer does not have a Blackjack, you are out
the insurance points, but continue the hand to try to win back your bet.
When registered, you will be able to Challenge Other Players in Blackjack.
To challenge another player, you play 5 hands of Blackjack alone for
Score. The number of points in each hand determines that hand's score.

When a person enters Blackjack they're notified that they have a Challenge
waiting for them. If they accept, they will play 5 hands and whoever's
total score is higher for those five hands gets the points wagered.
