Blackjack
In this classic card game, you play against the dealer to see who
can get closer to 21 points without going over.
Rules of the Game
• You start a new game with 100 credits. You must bet from 1-10
credits for each hand you play.
• Press
(
+
) to start a new hand.
• The first card is dealt to the dealer. The dealer’s cards are
shown at the top of the display, and your cards are shown at
the bottom.
• Face cards count as 10 points. Number cards count as the
points shown on their face.
• An ace counts as 11 points, unless that would put you over 21
points. Otherwise, an ace is counted as 1 point. An ace that is
originally counted as 11 may later be counted as 1 if it will
bring your total under or equal to 21 points.
• An initial deal of an ace and a card with a face value of 10
points counts as exactly 21 points or Blackjack.
• Blackjack automatically wins against any other hand that
totals 21 points.
• If you score more than 21 points, you go “bust” or lose.
• If you get five cards without going bust, you win.
• If you and the dealer have the same score, the dealer wins.
• You can ask for a “hit” or another card as long as you do not
go bust.
• As long as the dealer’s total is less than 17 points, the dealer
must continue to take a hit.
