Objective:
Beat the dealer's hand without going over a score of 21. (Also known as Blackjack).
How to play:
say 'Deal' to start the game. You will be dealt two cards.
The dealer will be dealt two cards, but only one will be dealt face-up.
If you think your hand will beat the dealer's, say "Stand'. The dealer's face-down card will then be revealed. The dealer can, at this point, keep dealing cards to himself until he beats your hand, hits '17', or goes 'Bust' (scores over 21).
If you want more cards to increase your score, say 'Hit'. The dealer will deal you another card. Continue this process until you are satisfied with the score (at which point you click 'Stand'), score 21, or go 'Bust'.
Other game play:
DOUBLE: After you are dealt your two cards, you may double your bet by saying on 'Double'. However, you will only be allowed one additional card. (Only recommended if the first two cards you are dealt total 10 or 11).
INSURANCE: If the dealer is dealt an Ace and therefore has a good chance of scoring '21', you have the option of taking out insurance against your bet. Just say 'yes' or 'no' when the message appears.
SURRENDER: This is like to 'folding'. By folding, you only lose half of your bet.
Note that the dealer must stand at 17, but you do not.
