Objective of the Game

 * To get the sum of your cards to equal nine or as close to nine as possible

= Card Value =

Aces are worth one Tens and face cards are worth zero Other cards are worth their face value Units of ten and more are disregarded Eleven = 1 Twelve = 2 Thirteen = 3 Fourteen = 4 Fifteen = 5 Sixteen = 6 Seventeen = 7 Eighteen = 8 Nineteen = 9

Naturals : Any card combination equalling nine or eight are called __naturals__. They automatically win, nine beating eight.

=** How To Play **= Everybody places a bet on either the player, the dealer, or tie. Dealer deals two cards

If either a player or dealer has an eight or a nine, the round is over

The Player's hand draws a third card when the Player's total is 5 or less. If the player doesn’t draw a third card, the bank stands on 6 or more and draws on 5 or less. If the player takes a third card, the bank draws a third card according to the Bank's-third-card rule

How to decide if the dealer draws a third card or not If the Banker's total is 2 or below, then the Banker draws a card, no matter what the Player's third card was. If the Banker's total is 3, the Banker draws a third card unless the Player's third card was an 8. If the Banker's total is 4, the Banker draws a third card unless the Player's third card was a 0, 1, 8 or 9. If the Banker's total is 5, the Banker draws a third card if the Player's third card was 4, 5, 6 or 7. If the Banker's total is 6, the Banker draws a third card, if the Player's third card was 6 or 7. If the Banker's total is 7, the Banker stands.
