How to play "Blackjack GOLD"?

The goal is to beat the dealer by having the higher, unbusted hand. Note that if you bust you lose, even if the dealer also busts (therefore Blackjack favors the dealer). If both the player and the dealer have the same point value, it is called a "push", and neither player nor dealer wins the hand.

You get 1,000 credits to start with. The minimum bet is 10ct. After initial bets are placed (use the + and - buttons to in- or decrease your bet with 10ct each) hit the DEAL button. Please be aware that your bet will not be reset to 10ct in the next round. You will play with the last bet, unless you explicitly change it again. The dealer deals the cards, either from one or two hand-held decks of cards, known as a "pitch" game, or more commonly from a shoe containing four or more decks. The dealer gives two cards to you and two to himself. One of the dealer's two cards is face-up so all the players can see it, and the other is face down. (The face-down card is known as the "hole card". In European blackjack (like in this game), the hole card is not actually dealt until the players all play their hands.) The cards are dealt face up from a shoe, or face down if it is a pitch game.

A two-card hand of 21 (an ace plus a ten-value card) is called a "blackjack" or a "natural", and is an automatic winner and gets 1,5 times the bet. Every normal win gives you 1 times the bet. The player's options for playing his or her hand are:

• Hit: Take another card.
• Stand: Take no more cards.
• Double down: Double the wager, take exactly one more card, and then stand.
• Split: Double the wager and have each card be the first card in a new hand. This option is available only when both cards have the same value.
