Point Values
Cards 2 through 10 = face value
Face Cards = 10 points
Aces = 1 point or 11 points, whichever makes a better hand
Example: 6 + Ace = 7 points or 17 points
Doubling
- You can only Double once in Blackjack.
Splitting
- You can split the first two cards dealt if they are of equal point value. When you split, you must place an additional bet that is equal to the ante . You will now have two hands. You can continue to hit for each hand, unless the split was made for a pair of Aces, in which case you can only hit once for each hand.
