One of the most popular card games in the world is "Blackjack" or "21". The object of the game is to have the total point value of the cards dealt to you to exceed the point value of the dealers hand without going over 21. If you draw cards that total more than 21 your hand is "busted" and you automatically lose.

A score of 21 achieved in two cards is a "Natural" or "Blackjack" and receives a payment of 3 to 2. If the dealer gets "Blackjack" also, then it is a push or draw. You retain your bet but do not receive a payment. This also applies in all ties.

All cards have their face value.

Picture cards count as 10.

The Ace is either 1 or 11, the choice is up to the player.

To play you must place a wager in the marked box.

You will then receive two cards. At this point you can either:-

a) "Stand"

b) Continue to draw.

Splitting

Pairs of cards can be split. Another bet equal to that of the original bet has to be wagered. If you score "Blackjack" on a split this only counts as 21. Split aces only receive one more card each.

Doubling

If your first two cards total 9, 10 or 11 you may double your original bet and draw one more card.

You are free to make your choice of bet. However, you cannot change your bets after spinning of the roulette wheel.

Inside Bets

Your inside bets should total to the minimum table amount of the roulette table. Zero lies within the inside bet square. There are different choices and combinations of such inside bets.

Street bet allows you to bet on a particular row of three numbers. This offers payoff of 11 to 1. Line bet helps you place two street bets. Hence, you bet on six numbers and therefore, your payoff is 5 to 1. Corner bet is to bet on any of the four adjacent squares. This provides a payoff of 8 to 1.

Outside Bets

As zero lies within the inside bet square, it does not figure in the outside betting area. Outside bets should total the minimum betting amounts. Outside bets comprise different situations. Dozens bet engulfs three squares from combinations of 1 to 12, 13 to 24, and 25 to 36. Payoff is 2 to 1.

High and Low bet cover two squares of the bottom half of numbers with a 1 to 1 payout. Numbers could be between 1 to 18 and 19 to 35. Odd and even bets offer payoff of 1 to 1 and you have to predict even or odd numbers as the outcome of a spin. Similarly, color bets are for black or red outcomes with1 to one payoff.

The players have to then review their own hand and have the option to “fold” or play (“call the dealer”). Players who fold lose their Ante wagers. Players deciding to play must place a wager equal to twice the amount of their Ante wager in the space marked “Bet.” After all the players have made their decisions, the dealer reveals his or her four cards. If the dealer’s hand does not contain ace-King or higher card value, the dealer pays all Ante wagers even money and returns all Bet wagers to the players. If the dealer’s hand contains an ace-King or higher card count, it is compared individually with each player’s hand starting with the player on the dealer’s extreme right and proceeding around the table. If the dealer’s hand is higher than the player’s hand, the player’s Ante and Bet wagers are collected by the dealer, along with the player’s cards. If the player’s hand is higher than the dealer’s hand the player’s Ante wager is paid at even money and the player’s Bet wager is paid according to the odds schedule.
