→Double Down
=====Double Down=====
A variation on the hit is called a double or double down. When you press '''D''', the displayed bet is doubled. This is indicated on the screen by a "#" sign next to the bet. The double option is only available on the first hit (additional hits are not allowed). ''Note'': The double option is not available to a player whose remaining bankroll is less than twice the original bet.
====Winning and Losing====
If you take a hit or double and the value of your hand goes over 21, you immediately ''bust'' and lose your bet. If you stand with a hand of 21 or less, you could win, lose, or tie, depending on the dealer's hand. The dealer always stands with 1 7 or more points and always takes a hit with 16 or less. The dealer pays any player with a higher hand and collects from any player with a lower hand. A tie between the dealer and any player is considered a standoff, and no money is exchanged.
====Odds====
Because the dealer plays last, the computer has a big advantage - the odds of winning are in its favor. However, if your card memory is good, you can beat the odds. Remember, the dealer must take a hit if the cards' total is 16 or less. Also keep in mind that the dealer reshuffles the cards after approximately 40 cards have been dealt.
As you play, try to remember the cards with a value of 10 or close to 10. If, towards the end of the deck, few high cards have been played, the odds are in your favor that the dealer will bust. When the odds are in your favor, take fewer hits, bet more, and you'll stand a better chance of winning.
====End of Game====
The game is over when only one player has
money left or when all players have lost all of
their bankrolls. To select a diff
erent number of
players or change the bankroll, press '''SHIFT Z''' (BACK). If you wish to select a different game, press '''SHIFT W''' (BEGIN) to return to the game selection list. To end a session with the module, press '''SHIFT Q''' (QUIT) to return to the master title screen.
