to reset it. Press the
Reset
hole on the back of the game with a straight-
ened object, such as a paperclip or straight pen.

card
Ô NOTES Ô
Insurance
You cannot buy insurance if no Ace appears in the dealer’s up card.
Split
• You cannot split if your point score is less than your initial bet. For example, you cannot
split if your bet is 20 points but you only have 10 points remaining. If you get a Blackjack
after splitting, you win only the amount of points you bet, not the 5-to-2 payoff for
Blackjack.
Double
You cannot double down if your point score is less than your bet.
Hit
The game deals a card each time you press DEAL/DRAW/HIT/ON until you stand, reach
21 points, or have a total of more than 21 (bust).
Counting the Deck
• Deck consists of three standard 52-card decks.
• Numbered cards count at face value. For example, a four is worth four
points, and an eight is worth eight points.
• The 10 and face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) count as 10 points each.
• You can count an Ace as either 1 or 11 points.
Betting
The game starts with 10,000 points. Whoever wins the hand collects the bet.
Bets are paid off evenly, except when:
• If you Blackjack (get a total of 21 points on the first draw), you get a 5-for-2
payoff — you win 50 points for your 20-point bet.
• If you double your bet, you can win four times the amount you bet. For
example, if you bet an additional 20 points, you would win 40 points and
receive a total of 80 points (including the 40 points you bet).
• If you split your hand, you can win double stakes (you bet an additional 20
points on the second hand and winbothhandsfor atotal of40points).
• If you surrender your hand, you only lose half of your bet.
Winning, Losing, and Pushing
You win your bet in the following cases:
• If your total is 21 points or less, and is more than the dealer’s total.
• If the dealer’s total is more than 21 points.
• If the two cards you are dealt are an Ace and a 10-count card (blackjack),
and the dealer does not have a Blackjack.
You lose your bet in the following cases:
• If your total is less than 21 points and is less than the dealer’s total.
• If your total is more than 21 points (
BUSTED appears if your total is exceeds
21 points.).
• If the dealer gets Blackjack and you do not.
• If your total is 21 points but the dealer gets Blackjack.
You push (tie) when you and the dealer have the same total hand (21 or less).
Your bet is returned to you and play continues with the next hand.
