The goal of this straightforward game is to draw a
two or three card hand with a value closer to 9 than the banker's hand.
The Value of the Cards
- Numbered
cards have their face value.
- 10, Jack,
Queen and King count as 0.
- Ace counts
as 1.
- If the
value of your cards is more than ten, you subtract 10. So a 8-9 hand
totals 7 (after subtracting 17).
You draw two cards, as does the banker. If either you or the banker totals
8 or 9, both of you automatically stand. If your total is 6 or 7, you stand.
If you stand, the banker hits on a total of 5 or less.
Meanwhile, if your total is 5 or less, you automatically hit and receive
a third card from the banker. If you receive a third card, the banker draws
a third card, according to these rules:
- When the
banker's hand totals 0,1,2: banker always draws a third card.
- When the
banker's hand totals 3: banker draws if your third card is 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-9-0
(not 8).
- When the
banker's hand totals 4: banker draws if your third card is 2-3-4-5-6-7
- When the
banker's hand totals 5: banker draws if your third card is 4-5-6-7
- When the
banker's hand totals 6: banker draws if your third card is 6-7.
- When the
banker's hand totals 7: banker stands.
After the final cards are dealt, the side with the total closest to 9 wins.
