CHOOSING YOUR OPTIONS

STAND

When STAND flashes, press STAND if you are satisfied with your hand.  Play
passes to the next player.

HIT

When HIT flashes, press HIT to request an additional card.  The computer
deals one card each time you press HIT until you stand, reach 21 points,
or bust.  The computer automatically updates and displays the points in 
your hand.

DOUBLE

When DOUBLE flashes after you are dealt your first two cards, press DOUBLE
to double your original bet.  The computer deals you one more card and
play moves to the next player.

Note:  You cannot double your bet if your running total is less than twice
       your bet.

If your first two cards are a pair, SPLIT flashes on the display.  Press
SPLIT to split the cards and play two hands.  Your bet automatically
doubles.  H1 (hand 1) or H2 (hand 2) flashes to indicate which hand you are
playing.

INSURANCE

When the dealer's exposed card is an Ace, INSURANCE flashes on the display.
You can take insurance (protect your bet) against the dealer having
Blackjack.  The insurance bet is half of your original bet.

To accept insurance, press INSURANCE.  To decline insurance, press DEAL.
The insurance bet is subtracted from your running total.

Notes:

You cannot insure your bet if your running total is less than one and a
half times your bet.

If you want to accept insurance and double or split, you must choose
INSURANCE before any other options.

If the dealer has a Blackjack, you win the insurance bet, getting a 2 to 1
payoff on it.  If you also have a Blackjack, you also win the 3 to 2
payoff on your original bet.  If you do not have a Blackjack, you lose your
original bet.

If the dealer does not have a Blackjack, you lose the insurance bet, but
you could still win your original bet if you have a winning hand.

SURRENDER

After seeing the dealer's exposed card, you can choose to surrender by
pressing SURRENDER.  Your forfeit half of your bet.  Once you press
SURRENDER, you do not receive any cards, and play passes to the next player.
