BLACK JACK RETURN TO EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTIONS

In Blackjack, also known as Twenty-One, a player plays his or her hand only against the dealer's hand and the object of the game is to get your hand to total 21 without going over.

Cards 2 through 10 are worth their face value, Jacks, Queens and Kings are known as face cards and are worth 10. Aces may be valued as 1 or 11.

If neither the player nor the dealer has 21 then the hand closest to 21 without going over, or busting, wins

If your hand matches the dealer's hand, your hand will be a push and you'll get your money back.

A natural 21 is known as Blackjack and is obtained by getting any face card in combination with an Ace. The Blackjack beats any other 21 and pays 3/2.

BLACK JACK OPTIONS

Hit
You're asking the dealer to give you another card. You may hit as many times as you like without going over 21.

Stand
You're satisfied with your cards and you want to stay with what you've got.

Double Down
You want to double your bet for a one-card hit. After you've received this card, you may not hit again.

Split
This allows you to divide a pair of like cards into two different hands. Depending upon which table you're on, you may re-split should you receive another like card. Also, on some tables you may double down after receiving a second card to your split hands. Generally, split Aces automatically receive only a second card and no further options will be presented.

Surrender
You want to forfeit your hand because you feel that the dealer will beat you (e.g. you've got 15 and the dealer is showing an Ace or a 10). By surrendering, you only lose half your bet. You must surrender when holding two cards. After a hit, this option will not be available.

Payouts
Any winning hand pays 1 to 1
Blackjack pays 3 to 2
