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
