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.
If you choose to “Split”, you will continue to play your first hand
normally (Split Hand 1 will show at the bottom of the screen) and you
can Double Down your Split hand if after one (1) hit, either hand
totals 10 or 11.
Once you choose to Stand, play will end on Split Hand 1 and move
to Split Hand 2. Once you Stand, play will end and the entire hand
will be completed.
SURRENDER
When you think your hand is definitely going to lose, you can choose
to Surrender. This cuts your losses by folding your hand and
forfeiting half of your original bet. You cannot Surrender after you
have hit.
If you have the opportunity to Surrender, the word “SURRENDER”
will flash on the screen. To Surrender, press the SURRENDER
button.

GETTING STARTED
A Blackjack is a hand consisting of anAce 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).
