BLACKJACK RULES

The computer plays Las Vegas-style Blackjack with a standard 52-card deck.
Before you start playing the game, you should know the basic rules of
Blackjack.

OBJECT OF THE GAME

The object of Blackjack is to defeat the dealer by getting a higher total
than the dealer without going over 21 points.

CARD VALUES

The card values are easy to remember.  Each card is counted at its face
value.  For example, a 4 is worth 4 points, and an 8 is worth 8 points.
The 10 and face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) count as 10 points each, and
are often called the 10-count cards.

You have the option of counting an Ace as 1 point or 11 points, depending
on which is better for your hand.

BETTING

You place your bet before the dealer deals the cards.  If the dealer wins
the hand, he collects the bet.  If you win the hand you collect the bet.

Bets are paid off evenly. For example, a 10-point bet wins 10 points. There
are only two exceptions:

  If you get a Blackjack (first two cards dealt total 21 points), you get
  a 3 to 2 payoff - you win 15 points for your 10-point bet.

  If you doubled your bet (see "Double Down" and "Split"on Faxback Doc.
  # 35033), you get a 2 to 1 payoff - you win 40 points for your 20 - point
  bet.

WINNING, LOSING, AND PUSHING

If your total does not exceed 21 points but is more than the dealer's total,
you win.  If the dealer's total exceeds 21 points, he busts (loses) and you
automatically win.

NOTE:  The dealer must draw (take a card) on any hand showing 16 points or
       less, and must stand on all hands totaling 17 to 21 points.

       If your two-card hand consists of an Ace with any 10-count card, you
       have a Blackjack.  If the dealer does not have a Blackjack, you are
       an automatic winner. If the dealer also has a Blackjack, your bet is
       returned to you and play continues with the next hand.

       If the dealer gets a Blackjack and you do not, you automatically
       lose.

       If at any time your total exceeds 21 points, you bust and auto-
       matically lose.  If this happens, you always lose your bet, even if
       the dealer also busts.

       When you and the dealer have the same total hand, the game is a draw,
       or push.  Your bet is returned to you and play continues with the
       next hand.
