The fundamentals of Black Jack.
The game is played with 6 packs of 52 cards. You win when the value of your cards is closer to 21 than those of the croupier.

Card values
210: The value of the card is the same as the number at the top of it. For example, the 9-card is worth 9 points. Picture cards: King, Queen and Jack count as 10 points. Ace: Can be counted optionally as 11 or 1.

Ace + picture card or Ace + 10: Black Jack This is the highest combination Queen + 5 + 3 = 18

Jack + 6 + 1 = 17

Ace + 8 = 9 or 19

Important terms
Understanding the game being played. Black Jack
This is the highest combination of cards and beats all other combinations. The Black Jack consists of an ace and picture card or an ace and 10 as the rst two cards.

Important terms
Understanding the game being played. Doubling
You can double your wager after you have received your rst two cards. You will receive only one additional card from the croupier. If you are not a box owner, you may only double when he/she doubles his/her stake. Doubling is also possible after splitting.

Box
This is the name of the playing area. Seven boxes are arranged in a semi-circle on the Black Jack table.

Box owner
This is what the players sitting at the gaming table are called. Players standing have to accept the decisions of the box owners.

Insurance
If the croupiers rst card is an ace, you can insure yourself against a possible Black Jack for the croupier by placing the appropriate stake on the insurance eld Should the croupier draw a Black Jack, the insurance is paid out at the rate of 2:1, if not, it is withdrawn.

Black Jack Gaming table

Triple Seven
This consists of three sevens and is paid out immediately independent of the cards in the croupiers hand. The payment is made at the ratio of 3:2; that means that you receive 1.5 times your wager. For example, if you had bet 10 euros you would be paid out winnings of 15 euros. After the winnings have been paid, the game is nished for the respective box.

Splitting
You can split if your rst two cards have the same value or the same number; for example, a Jack and a Queen or two sixes. You then play with a split hand, that means you continue playing with two separate stakes. Repeated splitting is possible. It is necessary to place an additional bet at the same amount as the rst, for each split hand. You now receive any number of cards for the rest of the game. One exception: If you have two split aces, you only receive one additional card. In this case, an ace and a picture card or an ace and 10 do not count as Black Jack because this combinationwas not reached with the rst two cards.

Black Jack
The Classic Card Game. Introduction
Black Jack, also known as 21 or 17+4, is pure suspense. The aim of the game is to come closer to 21 than the croupier.

Bust
In Bust you bet that the croupiers cards will exceed a value of 21. Introduction
At many Black Jack tables you have an additional chance to win by playing the extra game Bust.

The game
Sit down at one of the seven boxes of the Black Jack table. After all the players have placed their bets, the croupier gives each box owner two cards and himself one. The box owners, beginning on the croupiers left, now take their turn. Each can request additional cards until he/she believes to be close enough to 21. But, be careful, the wager of any player who exceeds 21 will be withdrawn by the croupier. After all box owners have reached their decisions, the croupier draws a second card for himself. If his cards have a value of 16 or less, he has to draw an additional card. He is not allowed to draw any more cards above the value of 17. If the croupier exceeds 21, all other players remaining in the game have automatically won. If he has less than 21, only those players, whose cards are closer to 21 than the croupiers, win. If the player and croupier have the same number of points, this is seen as a stand off, this means undecided and the player keeps his/her stake. You win the amount of your wager (1:1) if the number of points of your cards does not exceed 21 and has a higher value than those of the croupier. If you win with a Black Jack, your winnings are paid out at the ratio of 3:2; that means that your receive 1.5 times the amount of your wager. For example, if your bet was 10 euros, you receive 15 euros as your winnings.

The game
In Bust you bet that the croupiers cards will exceed a value of 21. If the croupier has more than 21, you win at the ratio of 5:2. For example, if you bet 10 euros, 25 euros will be paid out as your winnings. If 21 is not exceeded, the stakes placed on the extra game Bust go to the bank. Wagers must be placed before the cards are drawn. The smallest possible stake is the same as the table minimum. The maximum is the total amount the player has placed on all boxes. For example, at tables with a 5 euro minimum, wagers may be placed in steps of 5.

Card combination, Bust:

10 + 2 + 10 = 22
