GAME PLAY

1. Play starts with the dealer (House) taking the players' bets.
2. After collecting bets, the House then deals two cards for each player and one card for the House.
3. In turn, each player is then asked whether they choose to stand (get no additional cards) with their original two cards or hit (receive additional cards, one at a time).
3. After all the players have finalized their hands, the House deals their second card. On a score of 16 or lower the dealer must hit. On a score of a 17 and higher, the dealer must stand.
4. Winners and losers are designated at this point. Winnings are distributed.
5. In case of a tie (a push), the player receives even money. They can then choose to apply that to their next bet or "cash out".
6. Natural Blackjacks: On a player draw of a natural blackjack, the player instantly is paid out 2.5x their initial bet. On a dealer draw of a natural blackjack, it is an automatic house win against other draws of 21, negating pushes.


GAME MECHANICS

Cards are dealt by the dealer will roll a /dice 13.
Rolls of 2 to 10 represent their respective numbered card and to them are assigned their respective value.
1 = Ace. To this card is attributed whether the value of 1 or 11, whichever keeps the hand from busting.
11 = Jack. To this card is attributed the value of 10.
12 = Queen. To this card is attributed the value of 10.
13 = King. To this card is attributed the value of 10.


GAME RULES

1. The aim of the game is to reach a score of 21 without going over (busting).
2. Once a player has chosen to "stand" they can no longer draw cards.
3. Players may "hit" as many times as they choose.
4. Natural blackjacks (scoring 21 in just 2 rolls) does not differentiate between a blackjack accumulated through multiple rolls.
5. Bets: Normal Table: Minimum of 50k and maximum of 250k. High Roller: 250k-500k.
6. A natural (dealt in the first round) pair of the same cards may be "split" for an additional opening bet.
7. A "double down" may be offered with only one additional hit allowed. If the player pushes with the house, the DD bet is lost, and the original bet is pushed.
8. Any 21 that happens after a split only counts as 21. Does not count as a Natural Blackjack.
