Object of the game

Player attempts to achieve a higher total point value per hand than the dealer's without exceeding a point value of 21.

If point value exceeds 21, hand is busted and bet is automatically lost.

A push (tie) results if player’s and dealer’s point total are equal; nobody wins or loses

Point value of cards

  • (REQ: CARDVALEBJ)
  • Aces 1 or 11
  • Face cards and Tens 10
  • 2 to 9 Face value
  • A "soft" hand has an Ace counted as 11
  • All other hands are termed "hard" in point value

Natural or Blackjack

If the original two cards dealt to a player total 21, this is a Natural or Blackjack and takes precedence over any three-or-more card point total of 21.

Betting Limits

Total bets placed must be:

>=the minimum bet requirement posted on the table, <= maximum bet requirements posted on the table.

The licensee may create additional tables and configure different limits via CyberBoss.

These new tables create menu items for Player to choose table with acceptable limits.

Each bet must conform to the minimum and maximum limits set for that type of bet.
