Player Guides

You play against the dealer.The object is to draw cards totalling ‘21’, or as close as possible without going over ‘21’. Bets are placed, then the dealer draws the cards face up – one to each player and one to himself – followed by a second card to each player. Aces count 1 or 11, Court cards 10 and all other cards as their face value.

If you have ‘Blackjack’ (an ace with a picture, or ten) it beats any other combination except a dealer’s Blackjack and you win 3/2 for your bet. If the dealer also has a Blackjack it is a stand-off.

If you do not have Blackjack you decide from your hand to take more cards (draw) or stand.You may take as many cards as you wish until you think you have a score closer to 21 than the dealer will have. Once you have a score of 21 you may not draw any further cards.

The dealer must draw on 16 or under and must stand on 17 or over.The first Ace in a hand is 11 unless this causes it to exceed 21. Subsequent Aces count as 1.

• If your total is closer to 21 than the dealer’s, you win even money.
• If your total is lower than the dealer’s, you lose. If you tie with the dealer it is a ‘stand-off ’.
• If you go over 21 you lose.
• A player may play any number of boxes at one table.
• All initial bets must be placed before any cards are dealt.

With your first two cards, irrespective of their total, you may opt to double your wager or place any amount up to the value of your initial bet, but you will receive only ONE more card.

If a player’s two cards have the same value, he/she may split them, receiving one extra card face up for each hand.

Players may split up to three times, resulting in a maximum of four hands in play

Aces may only be Split once.

If after splitting, a player has an ace and 10 in one or both of the split hands, this is 21 but it is not Blackjack. (these hands lose against the Dealers Black Jack).

You may double down after splitting, but if an Ace is split, they receive only one more card on each and doubling down is not possible in this case.

When the dealer’s first card is an Ace, any player with their first two cards may wager an amount equivalent to no more than half the amount staked on his initial wager that the dealer’s second card will have a value of 10.

Any wager which wins under this rule shall be payable at odds of 2 to 1.

All insurance wagers shall be made before a third card is dealt to any box (the subsequent deal).

Punto Banco was originally a combination of the games Chemin de Fer and Baccarat. It is played with eight packs of cards shuffled by the croupier and cut by the player.
The object of the game is to wager a bet on one of the two hands dealt.The hand farthest from the shoe is the PLAYER hand and the hand nearest the shoe is the BANKER hand.The player may elect to place his bet on either hand before cards have been drawn. In addition, or as an alternative, players may place a separate bet in the designated area that both hands are equal (egalité).
The cards are drawn strictly in accordance with the tableau. Tens and court cards and any combination of cards with a joint count of ten, count as nothing. An ace is one, and all other cards have their own face value.The winning hand is that with a total nearest to nine.
The croupier draws the cards alternately.The first and third cards are the PLAYER cards, the second and fourth the BANKER cards. Any further cards required (as determined by the tableau) are then added to the appropriate hand.
