How to Play
You can play with either the Banker or the Player, and can also bet on a tie. The goal of the game is to get as close to 9 as you can and beat the Dealer’s hand at the same time!
Card Values and Rules of the Game
Face Cards and Tens are worth zero, with aces worth 1. Any other cards are worth their stated values. When the value of your cards goes over 9, then the value is adjusted by taking 10 from the total. Example: a queen and 4 would be 0 + 4=4
Wagering
You have to place a bet before the cards are dealt. Minimum and maximum betting limits depend on the setting of your account. You can find our your account settings by going to the cashier-member services-preferences-bet level. When you’re ready to place a wager, just choose the chip value that you want to wager in the bottom right-hand side of the screen. Then you just click Player, Banker, or Tie.
Start Playing
Step 1 - Select betting position
You can bet on Player, Banker or Tie- the first step is to select which one you want to bet on.
Step 2 - Cards dealt
When all bets have been place, cards are dealt face up. The player gets 2 cards first, then the Dealer gets 2 cards.
Step 3 – Hand Scoring
Next is the scoring of each hand. The score of each hand is the right number of the total of the cards. Example: Two cards were a 4 and 6 – that means the total is 10, and the score is 0. Scores range from 0 to 9, making it impossible to bust.
Step 4 – HIT and STAND
If the Dealer of the Player has a Natural (a score of 8 or 9), then the hands are compared and the round comes to an end.
If neither the Dealer of the Player has a Natural, then the game continues with the Player’s hand first and then the Dealer’s.
Depending on the rules below, the Player may or may not be dealt a third card:
1. A player must STAND with a total of 6 or 7 – no more cards
2. With a 5 or less, the player must HIT.
If the player STANDS or HITS, the dealer then plays differently:
The Banker may or may not be dealt a third card if the Player STANDS, depending on the following:
1. Banker must STAND with a total of 6 or 7
2. Banker must HIT with 5 or less.
The Banker may or may not be dealt a third card if the Player HITS, depending on the following table:
