DESCRIPTION OF THE GAME • Bets are placed, the Dealer then deals the cards face up, one to each player and then one to himself followed by a second card to each player.

• The cards are dealt from left to right.

• A Blackjack (an ace with a picture or any 10-value card) beats any other combination except a Dealer’s Blackjack and is paid at 3 to 2.

• The players are then asked in turn from left to right if they require additional cards to achieve a total closer to 21 than the Dealer.

• The Dealer must draw on 16 or under and must stand on 17 or over.

• The Dealer’s first ace counts as 11 unless it busts the hand. Subsequent aces count as one.

• If the player’s total is closer to 21 than the Dealer’s the player wins even money. If the player’s total is lower, then the Dealer’s he loses.

• When the player has the same total as the Dealer it is a “standoff”.

• When a player’s total goes over 21 (busts) he loses.

• A player may double his original stake on any first two cards, except a Blackjack, allowing the player to take only one more card only.

• If a player’s first two cards have the same value, the player may split the hand. The player must then place an additional bet equal to the original stake; the two cards are split and then become two separate hands. The player shall then receive a second card on the first split bet and may continue to take more cards as per the normal Blackjack drawing rules stated above. When the first hand has been completed the player shall then receive a second card on the second split, draw cards as stated above.

• If the player’s second card, on the split hand, is to the same value as the original split hand the player may split again and continue to take further cards as per normal Blackjack drawing rules.

• On receiving a second card on a split hand the player may double the hand as per double rules above.

• If after splitting aces the player may only receive one card only on each split hand, unless the player receives another ace whereby the player may split the aces again.

• If after splitting aces the player has a `10′ value card on either or both aces this counts as 21 not Blackjack and is paid at even money.

• Even money is offered only when a player has a Blackjack, and the Dealer has an ace. Except to the boxes who has a BJ

• Insurance pays even money and the Dealer will offer insurance before any further cards are dealt.
