Gameplay

Cards are given point values as follows: Ace = 1, 2-9 = face value, 10, J, Q and K = 0.

The score of the hand is the right digit of the total of the cards. 

For example, if the two cards were an 8 and 7, then the total would be 15 and the score would be a 5. The scores will always range from 0 to 9. The suit is not considered.

By comparing Player hand’s point to Banker hand’s point, larger one is the winner. 

For example: P(A,3,5) = 9 points win B(J,2,A) = 3 points. The hand closest to 9 wins.

If you bet on the Player and the Player wins, you are paid 1 for 1 winning on your bet.

If you bet on the Banker and the Banker wins, you are paid 1 for 1 minus 5% commission.

If you bet on Tie and result is Player or Banker win, you lose your bet.

If both the Player’s hand and the Banker’s hand have equal totals, the game result is a Tie.

If you bet on Player or Banker and the result is a Tie, all bet will be returned.

If you bet on Tie and result is Tie, your payoff is 8 to 1.

If either the Player or the Banker has a total of 8 or 9 on the first two cards no further cards are drawn. The resulting hand is called a natural and the hand is over. If both hands have the same value, it’s a Tie. Pair indicates whether Player or Banker’s first two cards are the same.

Third Card Rules

If the Player’s total is less than or equal to 5 the Player’s hand draws a third card.

If the Player does not draw a third card, then the Banker’s hand stands on 6 or more and takes a third card on a total of 5 or less.
