Set mode switch to GAME.
Then turn the power "ON".
The
display will flash 0 (zero) until a BET is entered. Once a BET
has
been
placed, the unit automatically begins to deal
Two
cards displayed on the right for the player, while one up and one
down displayed on the left for the Dealer. Cards will be displayed as
follows:
CARD VALUE
DISPLAY VALUE
2 thru 9
Digits 2—9 respectively
All face cards and 10's
F
Aces
A
Aces may be counted either as 1 or 11.
Each Hand is dealt randomly from a 52-card deck. After power
is turned on, or the 38th card has been dealt, shuffling will
occur automatically upon entering BET. When this occurs, the
display will blink ten zeros.
When playing a Hand, you may {depending on the circumstances)
take or decline INSURANCE, SPLIT pairs, DOUBLE, take a HIT or
STAND. If you are dealt 21 (BLACKJACK) a win is recorded, and
you are paid one and one half of the bet. Once the Hand has
been completed, you can review your current Stake balance by
pressing | TOT | . The object of the game of course is to beat
the Dealer by achieving card values less than or equal .to 21 as
circumstances
warrant.
When
you
go Bust
(exceed 21), the
Dealer automatically shows his second card and wins. When you
STAND, the Dealer automatically shows the second card and will
continually take HITS until he exceeds 16 or BUSTS. To begin
the next Hand, you enter the BET and the cards will be dealt.

NOTE: If you need detailed rules of how Blackjack is played, we
recommend you check a book out of your local public
library which covers card games (or Blackjack specifically).
[BET] — BET KEY:
The BET for each Hand is entered by simply entering
the amount and then pressing [BET | key. Card dealing
now begins.
NOTE: (1) If an amount is not entered, the absolute integer
value of the displayed number will be treated
as a BET, after you Press the |BET j key.
(2) The BET for each Hand should be less than 10
digits.
[Hit 1 — HIT KEY:
Press this key when you want a HIT (you want another
card). You may ask for as many cards as you want until
you choose to STAND or you Bust.
| STD j — STAND KEY:
Press this key to end your Hand, show your card value
and initiate Dealer action. Then the Dealer will draw cards
until his card value exceeds 16. At the end of each Hand,
the Dealer card value is displayed, and then the amount
you won or lost will be displayed. If you win the Hand
an amount equal to the BET is automatically added to the
value of your Stake. If you lose the Hand, the BET is
deducted from the Stake. A push results in no change in
Stake (it's a tie).
