HIT
Requests another card. You can request a hit as many
times as you like, but if your total goes over twenty-one,
you will Bust and lose the hand.
STAND
Requests that you receive no more cards. The hand
as it currently stands will be judged against the
dealers.
SPLIT
If you have two cards of the same denomination, a
Split button will appear. You can split your cards
into two hands and play each hand separately. Your
original bet will be duplicated for the new hand,
and each hand will be played out as usual. A pointing
finger will appear over each hand indicating which
hand is active. The split option can only be used
once per hand -- you cannot split part of a split
hand.
DOUBLE
If you select this option, two things will happen:
you will get exactly one more card, your turn will
end, and your bet will be doubled. After each player
has pressed either the Deal or Pass button, the Player
and Banker are dealt two cards. All tens and picture
cards are worth zero, aces are worth 1, and all other
cards are worth their face value. If the value of
cards exceeds 9, then the value is adjusted by subtracting
10 from the total.
INSURANCE
Whenever the dealer's up-card is an ace, the player
has an option of taking insurance. The player may
opt to take insurance by clicking on the "Insurance
" button. If you do not wish to take insurance, you
may simply click on one of the other buttons (hit,
double down, stand, etc.) to proceed with the rest
of the hand. If the player believes that the dealer's
down-card is a 10 ranking card, then the player is
permitted to place a side bet of half the original
wager as insurance. If the dealer does have a 10 ranking
card, the player is immediately paid 2-to-1 on the
insurance bet, but the original wager is lost unless
the player too has a blackjack and pushes with the
dealer. Here the player is simply betting that the
dealer's unseen card is a 10 valued card.
