OBJECTIVE

Build a hand worth as close to 21 as you can, and beat the dealer, without ever going over 21.

CARD VALUES

  • Number cards 2 to 10 are worth their number. Jack, Queen and King are each worth 10.
  • An Ace counts as 11, or as 1 when 11 would tip you over 21, whichever helps your hand.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Place your bet and press Deal. You and the dealer each get two cards; one dealer card stays face down.
  • Hit to take another card. Stand to stop and keep your total. Double to double your bet and take exactly one more card.
  • Go over 21 and you bust, losing at once. Otherwise the dealer reveals and must keep drawing until reaching at least 17.
  • Whoever is closest to 21 without busting wins the hand.
