Theobject is to accumulate cards that add up to as close to 21 as possible with-out going over. Face cards count as ten, number cards count as their indexnumber, and aces count as 1 or 11.In the Vegas Dream version of Blackjack, all players' cards are dealt face up,with the dealer's cards dealt one face up and one face down. A player mayelect to receive more cards (Hit) or not (Stand). There is no limit to thenumber of cards you can ask for. As in casinos, the dealer must hit on 16 andstand on 17.If the first two cards dealt to a player add up to 21 (an ace and a face cardor 10), the player has drawn a Blackjack, which pays 3 to 2. In case of a tie,all bets are a draw. If the dealer's hand is closer to 21, or if the playergoes over 21, the dealer wins.InsuranceIf the dealer's up-card is an ace, the player can, for half of his initial bet, buy insurance. If your original bet was $10.00, you can buy insurance for$5.00. If the dealer does not, in fact, have a 10 point card in the hole, andso does not have a Blackjack, you lose your insurance bet of $5.00. If thedealer has a Blackjack, he pays off your insurance bet at 2 to 1. Insurancebets are completely separate from your original wager.Double downIf the first two cards dealt the player add up to 9, 10, or 11, the player may'Double Down'. The player doubles his bet, and receives one more card facedown, to be uncovered after the dealer has finished his hand.SplitIf the player receives a pair as his first two cards, he may double his bet,split his pair, and make two Blackjack hands out of one. Some pairs are betterto split than others. Experience, experimentation, and access to a seasonedgambler will help you to determine which pairs you should split.Directions for playFirst place your bets.
