Point values are assigned to all cards. Aces  
count as either 1 or 11 points, while face cards  
(K,Q,J) are counted as 10. All other cards are  
counted at face value.  
INSURANCE  
If the dealer’s first card (showing) is an Ace, you  
can place an insurance bet (5 points) by press-  
ing this button. By doing this, you are betting  
that the dealer has a Blackjack.  
If you choose to receive additional cards, press  
the DEAL/HIT button. If you want to keep only  
the cards you have showing, press the STAND  
button.  
If the dealer has a Blackjack: If your hand is  
not a Blackjack, your original bet and insurance  
bet are returned to your score. If you have a  
Blackjack also (push), you win double the  
amount of your original bet and your insurance  
bet will also be returned to your score.  
The dealer must draw on any hand showing 16  
points or less, and will stand on all totals of 17  
to 21 points.  
If you can build a hand which is closer to 21  
than the dealer’s hand (without going over 21),  
you win!  
If the dealer does not have a Blackjack: You  
lose your insurance bet and the display will flash  
“L O S E” and you then continue to play your  
hand as you normally would play it.  
TRAINING MODES  
TENS/OTHERS  
SURRENDER  
This method of counting cards uses a ratio of  
Ten” cards to “Other” cards. Ten” cards are  
10’s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings. “Others” are  
considered Ace though 9. The higher the ratio  
of “Ten” cards to the “Other” cards, the more the  
player should bet. The lower the ratio of “Ten”  
cards to “Other” cards, the player should bet  
less. If there are a high number of “Ten” cards  
remaining in the deck, the chances of winning  
are better.  
Lets you give up your hand before the third card  
is dealt so that you lose only half of your bet (5  
points).  
SHUFFLE (while “Game Over” is flashing)  
This game uses a 52-card deck which the com-  
puter will shuffle on its own when the deck gets  
low enough. However, you can shuffle the deck at  
any time (between hands) by pressing this button.  
STRATEGY  
This button selects the counting system to be  
used (Tens/Others or High-Low) when in  
Blackjack Trainer mode.  
HIGH-LOW  
This method of counting assigns a point value to  
each card. Basically, the strategy is to bet more  
when the “HIGH-LOW” point total is higher.  
When the “HIGH-LOW” total is low, bet less.  
SOUND  
Turns the sound on and off.  
TRAINER/BLACKJACK  
Toggles between Blackjack Trainer and Regular  
Blackjack.  
Helpful Hints:  
1. Always Split on pairs of Aces or 8’s.  
2. Always Double down on 11.  
HINTS  
3. Always Stand on Ace + 8 and Ace + 9 combi-  
nations.  
Pressing this button will display a recommended  
bet or the best play option. This can only be  
used while in Trainer mode.  
4. Always Hit on hand totals of 9 or less.
