The player may split up to three times the same point value cards by equalling their original bet and placing the bet beside the two-point total cards. After splitting player may have a maximum of four hands. Split aces receive only one card on each.

Insurance – is allowed when croupier’s card is an Ace. Insurance bet may be up to one-half your original bet. If the croupier makes a Blackjack, your original bet loses, and insurance is paid 2 to 1. If the croupier does not make a Blackjack the insurance bet is forfeited and the game continues.

If the croupier’s hand totals 17 or more the croupier must stand.

If the croupier’s hand is less than 17 the croupier must hit.

If the croupier’s hand totals 17 but contains an Ace (which counts as 11) the croupier must hit (called soft 17).
