The object of the game is to beat the total of the dealer's hand without going over 21. When adding the total of your hand, Kings, Queens and Jacks count as ten points. All other cards are counted at face value.
Players place their bets in the box corresponding to their seat position.
Each player, in turn, is now offered the option to draw additional cards or stand . If a player draws cards that total more than 21 points their bet automatically loses. When all players hands have been decided the dealer will turn over the hole card and stand or draw according to the following rule. If the dealer's cards total 16 or less they must continue to draw until their cards total 17 or more. If the total of the dealer's cards exceeds 21 then all bets remaining on the table will win.
