How to play

1. Select your stake by clicking on the chips at the bottom of the screen. Click on the table betting area (highlighted circle) relevant to your bet to place your Stake. Selecting the 'banker' area will back the banker, selecting the 'player' area will back the player and selecting a tie will predict a tied result. A currency value will be displayed alongside the chip. Click the Clear button if you wish to change your stake at this stage. Double will double the stake. Select Deal.

2. A 2 card minimum is dealt to the player and the banker hands, placed face up:

3. The value of the hands will appear underneath the cards. The value of a hand is the right digit of the total of the cards. For example, a hand consisting of a Jack, a 5 and a 6, has the face total of 11, so this hand has a value total of 1. At this stage, the total for each hand will always be in range 0-9.

4. If the first 2 cards of either hand total 8 or 9, the hand is declared a "natural" and both hands stand. If only one hand has a natural, it automatically wins. If both hands are naturals and of the same value, the hands tie, else the hand with a total of nine wins over the hand with the total of 8. No further cards will be drawn, without exception.

5. Without any interaction a third card may then be dealt to the player or the banker or both, this third card is subject to a number of rules, as follows.

6. If both hands are not standing then the players total is considered. If the players total is five or less then the player's hand will receive an additional card.

7. If the player's hand stood and did not receive an additional card (i.e. if it was a total of 6 or of 7) then the banker's hand will only receive an additional card if its value is five or less.

8. If the player's hand recieved a third card then the bankers hand will only receive a third card under the following conditions:
