SPLIT

When your first two cards are of equal value, you may split them into two separate hands by pressing the SPLIT key. Splitting will place a bet of equal value to your original bet on the second hand. You will then play each hand separately.

OBJECT

The object of Blackjack (21) is to beat the dealer by drawing cards that add up to 21, or as close to 21 as possible, without exceeding 21. The Ace is worth 11 points unless this amount pushes a hand over 21, in which case the Ace counts as 1. Face cards are worth 10 points. All other cards count their face value. You compete only against the dealer.

HOW TO PLAY

Just like a professional deal- er, 7-in-1 Ultimate Casino will deal you two cards and deal itself one. You must then decide whether to press STAND (to

draw no more cards), or to press DEAL to take another card. Remember, if you go over 21, you automatically lose! When you’ve decided to stand, 7-in-1 Ultimate Casino finishes its hand.

If your final count is closer to 21 than the dealer’s count, while not exceeding 21, you win an amount equal to your bet, and get your betting money as well. If your count is the same as the dealer’s, it’s a tie (or push)—nobody wins, and you keep the money you’ve bet. If your hand is less than the dealer’s (and the dealer hasn’t gone over 21), you lose your bet.
