INTRODUCTION
This game is a simple version of Casino BlackJack (one player versus the
dealer). There are many books which contain descriptions of the basic rules
of play for BlackJack, so I won't cover them here. Most of the rules are the
same, but there are some differences:
At the beginning of the game you have $500.
The game uses 1 pack of cards at a time.
When the current pack is finished the cards are reshuffled (the computer
beeps) and play continues.
You must "buy" the first two cards.
You can "sit" on anything (it doesn't need to total 16)!
Your bet on the first card becomes the maximum bet for the hand.
The computer needs 16 or over to sit; and then must sit.
The dealer must get a higher total to win the hand.
If the totals are equal, your bets are "carried" into the next hand.
If a bet has been carried from the previous hand, the "carry" amount is
displayed on the left of the players header (but is NOT deducted from the
players total - on the right).
BlackJack's pay double your bet.
Pontoon (10 and Ace) pays 1.5 times your bet.
5 cards under 21 and 6,7,8 do not pay special rates.
Not (yet) implemented
=====================
- more than one player (against the dealer).
- splitting (of pairs) to be two separate hands.
