Play of Hand

• The Player and the Banker are dealt either two or three cards. Third card is dealt based on the third card rules. For more information, refer to the Third Card Rules section below.
• The game compares the hand values of the Player and the Banker. For more information, refer to the Scoring section below.
• The hand with a value closest to 9 wins. Hands of equal value are a tie, and neither hand wins.

Scoring

• The value of the hand is determined by adding the values of the cards in the hand.
• The number cards 2-9 count as face value, aces count as 1, and kings, queens, jacks, and 10's count as 0.
• If the hand value is 10 or above, 10 is subtracted from it and the remaining value is considered as the hand value (for example, 13 becomes 3).

Third Card Rules

• If the Player or the Banker has a hand value of 8 or 9, it is known as "natural", and both hands stand. This rule overrides all the other rules.
• If neither the Player nor the Banker has a hand value of 8 or 9, the play proceeds as following:

Player Rules
• If the Player has a hand value of 0-5, a third card is dealt to the Player. If the Player has a hand value of 6 or 7 the hand stands.

Banker Rules
• If the Player stands, the Banker draws a third card if the hand has 0-5.
• If the Player draws a third card, the value of the card drawn by the Player and the value of the Banker's hand determines if the Banker gets a third card. For more information, refer to the table below:

Payout Schedule

• If the Player wins the hand, the bets placed on PLAYER pay double the amount of original bet value (2 for 1).
