GETTING STARTED
A Blackjack is a hand consisting of an Ace and a
10-value card (10, Jack, Queen or King) totaling
twenty-one (21). The object of Blackjack is to
reach twenty-one (21) or to have a greater count
than the dealer, but less than twenty-one (21).
PLAYING THE GAME
Press On·Deal·Hit button to begin your game.
You will be dealt two (2) cards, both face-up.
The dealer is dealt one (1) card face-up and one
(1) card facedown. An automatic bet of fifty (50)
points will be made.
INSURANCE
If the dealer’s first card is an Ace, you have the
option to “buy insurance”. This means that you
will lose twenty-five (25) points, instead of losing
the entire fifty (50) points if the dealer has a
blackjack. If the dealer has a blackjack, this bet
will pay 2 to 1. You can only buy Insurance
when the dealer’s first card is an Ace. If you
have the opportunity to buy Insurance, the word
“Insurance” will flash on the screen. To buy
Insurance, press the INSURANCE button. If the
dealer has a Blackjack and your hand is not a
Blackjack, your original bet and insurance bet
are returned to your score. If you have a
Blackjack as well (push), you win double the
amount of your insurance bet and your original
bet will also be returned to your score. If the
dealer does not have a Blackjack, you will lose
your insurance bet and the word “LOSE” will
flash on your screen and you will then continue
to play your hand.
If you do not have a Blackjack, you can ask the
dealer to “hit” you. You may draw as many
cards as you like, one at a time, but if you go
over twenty-one (21) you will “bust” and lose the
hand.
Kings, Queens, Jacks and 10’s are all worth 10
points. Aces are worth 1 or 11 points. All other
cards are worth their face value.
If the dealer’s hand is 16 or less, the dealer must
take a card. If the dealer’s hand is 17 or more,
the dealer must stand.
If you want to add another card to your hand,
press the ON·DEAL·HIT button. If you choose
to “stand”, press the STAND button and no
additional cards will be dealt.
DOUBLE DOWN
If, after receiving your first two cards, you think
you can beat the dealer with only one more card,
you can choose to “Double Down”. This means
you will double your original bet, drawing one
more card and then standing.
If you have an opportunity to double down, the
words DOUBLE DOWN will flash on the screen.
Press the Double Down button.
NOTE: You may only Double Down on ten (10)
or eleven (11).
SPLIT
If your first two cards are the same value, you
may choose to “Split” your cards so you can
play two hands at once. Your original bet will
apply to each hand. You can continue to draw
cards for each hand independently.
If you have the opportunity to Split, the word
SPLIT will flash on the screen. To Split, press the
SPLIT button.
