DOUBLE-DOWN

Having received the first two cards, regardless of the score, the box-holder can decide to double the bet laid previously. In this case, the Dealer places the new bet on top of the old one and deals the box-holder one card only at right angles to the first two cards. The other players with bets on this box are not obliged to double their stake, but they do have to accept being dealt one card only.

SPLITTING

If the first two cards dealt to the player have the same value (e.g. two 3s, two Jacks, a King and a 10 etc.) the box holder may Split them and continue the game with two separate hands. The Dealer places the two cards next to each other and the customer lays next to their original stake a second bet of the same amount. If the third card dealt is the same again, the player can split once more. Laying down a third bet of the same amount as the original one.

If the box holder splits two picture cards, two 10s, or a picture card and a 10 and then receives an ace, they can decide whether the card is worth 1 or If they opt for 1, making a score of 11 points, they can ask for one or more cards or the stake can be doubled.

SPLITTING 2 ACES

If the player splits 2 Aces the Dealer deals one card only, at right angles, to each of them and the hand stops there. If the card dealt is a 10 or a picture card, the score is not “Black Jack” but simply “21”. If the box holder decides to split the other players must respect their decision.

INSURANCE

If the Dealer deals the bank an Ace as the first card, the players can bet on the chances of the bank scoring “Black Jack”. This choice is called “Insurance”. Players are free to bet or not to bet and their decision is in no way bound to the actions of box holders.

Players who wish to be “Insured” must place on the line marked “Insurance”, in front of their box, a stake worth at least half the value of their original bet. If the Dealer scores “Black Jack” the “Insurances” are paid at 2 to 1 (any other “Black Jacks” cannot be insured and therefore draw) whereas all the other stakes lose. If, however, the Dealer does not make “Black Jack” the insurances lose and are withdrawn by the Dealer who then completes normal bank operations passing from one box to the next.

EVENS BLACK JACK

When the Dealer’s first card is an Ace, a picture card or a 10, every player who has a “Black Jack” hand, even if they are not box holders, can ask for immediate payment and receive a sum equal to the stake they have laid.
