Rules

• Your task is to get to gather 21 points (or as close as you can but never more). 21 is called Blackjack and you will get 150% of the stake;
• cards from 2 to 9 are worth the same;
• 10, Jack, Queen and King are worth 10 points;
• Ace is worth 11 or 1 (depends on what is better for you);
• You are playing against the dealer, not other players;
• As a player you have to take another card hit, stand, double the stake (double down) and split the cards - only if there are two cards with the same value;
• dealer is collecting cards to 17, if he has more he stands;
• you are winning 1:1 if you have more points than dealer;
• if you have more than 21 points, you are loosing automatically.

Hints

• double the stake if you have 10 or 11 points;
• split nines, eights, sevens, sixs only when the dealer have one low card;
• take new card until you will have at least 12 points

• hazard is very addictive - be aware of this!
