Blackjack Game Rules

The goal is for your cards to come closer to 21 in value than the dealer's cards, without going over. You are dealt two cards to start and can receive as many additional cards as you want. Earning 21 with an ace and any ten or face card is called a Blackjack and pays 3:2. A hand valued greater than 21 is bust and automatically loses.

• Cards are dealt from a shoe containing 8 decks
• A winning hand pays 1:1. A Blackjack or Natural (getting 21 with only two cards) pays 3:2.
• Insurance pays 2:1.
• The Dealer will stand on all 17s, both hard and soft.
• A player's Blackjack beats everything a dealer has (including a dealer's 21), except for a dealer's Blackjack. In that case, the hand is a push (tie) and your bet is returned.
• If your cards total 21 you will not be allowed to hit (draw more cards).
• If your cards total more than 21, you bust and all bets are lost.
• If you tie the dealer, the hand is a push and your bet is returned.
• You can split up to three times.

Card Values

• Number cards 2 through 10 are worth their face value.
• Jack, Queen and King are worth 10.
• Ace can be worth 1 or 11. The value is automatically chosen based on which makes the best hand.

A hand value is said to be "soft" if it contains an Ace that can be counted as 11 without having the value of the hand exceed 21. It's always possible to draw one card to a soft hand without busting.

HOW TO PLAY

To begin playing, choose your credit value by clicking on a chip in the control panel. When a credit value is selected, the chip is raised up to indicate it is active. The system will keep that value selected until you choose a different credit value.

Betting

Make your bet by clicking on the area labeled "bet." If you click a second time, a second chip will appear, and so on. To remove a bet, hold the SHIFT key and click on the chip on the table.

Playing

Once your bet is placed, you begin the game by clicking the "DEAL" button. Two cards will be dealt to you, face-up, and two to the dealer. The dealer's cards will be dealt one face-up and one face-down.

Dealer's Up-card is 10-valued card

If the dealer's up-card is a 10-valued card, the game will pause while the dealer checks his other card for a blackjack. If he doesn't have blackjack, the game continues. If he does have blackjack the hand ends here and unless you also have a blackjack, your bet is lost. In the case of you and the dealer both having blackjack, the hand is a push (tie) and your bet will be returned.

Dealer's Up-card is an Ace

If the dealer's up-card is an Ace, and you don't have blackjack in any of your hands, you will be offered the change to buy insurance, which pays 2:1. Insurance is basically a bet that the dealer does in fact have a Blackjack. You can put down half your original bet on insurance. If the dealer does have a Blackjack, you'll lose your original bet, but receive 2:1 on your insurance bet, and come out even. If the dealer doesn't have a Blackjack, you lose your insurance bet and continue with the hand.

Insurance Offer

In the case where you do have a Blackjack and the dealer's up-card is an Ace, you will be offered "even money." Accepting this means you'll instantly be paid out 1:1 for your bet (even money) and the hand will end. Doing this forfeits the normal Blackjack pay out of 2:3. However, if the dealer truly does have a Blackjack, choosing even money puts you ahead, since the hand would otherwise be a push.

Even Money Offer

Double-Down

After the first two cards are dealt, you have the option to double down. If you decide to double down, your bet will be doubled and you will be given only one additional card to your hand and then your hand will be scored. To double down, click the "DOUBLE DOWN" button in the control panel.

Splitting

If you are dealt a pair of matching cards, ignoring the suit, you can split the cards and create two separate hands. Any ten-valued cards (i.e., 10, Jack, Queen and King) can be split. For example, if you had a Queen of Clubs and King of Spades, you could split that pair to create two new hands. To split a pair, click the "SPLIT" button in the control panel.

When you split pairs, a bet equal to the original bet is placed next to the split card, and a second card is dealt for each hand. On your split hands you still have the option to double down. If you are dealt another pair in your split hand, you can split a second time. In fact, you can split up to three times total."

If you split a pair of Aces, you will only be dealt one additional card to each hand and can't draw any more. If you draw a ten to a split Ace, it's paid as a 21 (1:1) and not as a Blackjack (3:2).

Results

If you win, the appropriate number of chips will be added to your bet and then the chips will slide to the lower portion of the table and be added to your bank. The message area will display the results of the bet.

If you lose, your chips will be moved toward the dealer's chips.

All game outcomes remain on the table in full view for your examination until you click the "NEW GAME" button.

Texas Hold 'Em Poker Game Rules

Texas Hold 'Em Poker is a multiplayer game where each player receives two hole cards, face down, plus five community cards that are shared among all players. The community cards are dealt in rounds with the opportunity to bet or raise. The player who can make the best 5-card poker hand from the seven available cards wins the pot. This version of Texas Hold 'Em features computer players.

• One 52-card deck is used, and re-shuffled between each hand.
• In the case of a tie, the players split the pot evenly.
• During the first two rounds of betting, the low stake is used; during the last two rounds of betting, the high stake is used.
• The amount of the stakes increases every time the dealer button has made a full orbit of the table.
• The Small and Big Blinds are posted automatically. The big blind is equal to the low stake, and the small blind is half of that amount.

Winning Hands

Winning Hands	Hand Description
Royal Flush	Ace - King - Queen - Jack - 10, all of the same suit
Straight Flush	Five cards in sequence, all of the same suit
Four of a Kind	Four cards of the same rank
Full House	Three of a kind and a pair
Flush	Five cards of the same suit

Pair	Two cards of the same rank.
High Card	If a hand doesn't contain any of the above combinations, it is valued by the highest card in it.

HOW TO PLAY

Each Texas Hold 'Em Poker game has a buy-in amount. You bring this amount of credits to the table with you, and can continue playing as long as you have credits. The game will continue until there is only one player left who has won all the credits.

There is no ante. Instead, there is a small and big blind that must be made. These are made by the two players to the left of the dealer. The player to the immediate left of the dealer must post the small blind, and the player to the left of the small blind bettor must post the big blind. The player who is dealer rotates clockwise around the table after each hand so everyone at some point must post a blind.

Betting

Once the blinds are posted, two cards are dealt face down to each player. These are called the Hole cards. The first of four rounds of betting now occurs. Starting with the player to left of the big blind bettor, the player has three choices: He can call the big blind, he can fold, or he can raise. Play moves clockwise around the table.

After the initial round of betting, the first three community cards, called The Flop, are dealt face up in the center of the table. There will be five community cards total dealt, and they are shared by all players. After the flop, a second round of betting occurs, this time beginning with the first active player to the left of the dealer. He can fold, check — which puts no money down — or raise. If the player decides to raise, then each successive player must decide to either fold, call or add their own raise.

The fourth community card, called the Turn, is dealt face up to the center of the table. This is followed by the third round of betting, again starting with the first active player to the dealer's left and moving clockwise around the table.

The fifth and final community card, called the River, is dealt. This is followed by the fourth and final rounding of betting.

The Showdown

Once the betting is complete, it is time for the showdown. The first active player to the left of the dealer must flip over his two hole cards. The best 5-card poker hand possible is made using the community cards and his hole cards. Moving clockwise around the table, each active player then has the choice to flip over his hole cards to make a claim on the pot, or decide to "muck it" and not show their cards, forfeiting a claim on the pot.

The player with the highest poker hand wins the pot. In the case where the players use only the five community cards to form the strongest hand, the game is a tie and all such players evenly split the pot.

Results

If you win, the chips from the pot will be added to your bank. The message area will display the results of the bet.
