How to play

Bet on the Player, the Banker, or a Tie. Two cards are dealt to each side. Card values: A = 1, 2–9 = face value, 10/J/Q/K = 0. Only the last digit of each total counts (15 = 5, 18 = 8).

If either hand totals 8 or 9 on the first two cards, that is a natural and both stand. Otherwise the Player draws a third card on totals of 0–5 and stands on 6–7. The Banker's third-card rule depends on its total and the Player's third card. Closest to 9 wins.

Player and Banker bets pay 1 : 1 (Banker keeps a 5% commission). Tie pays 8 : 1. Tie returns Player and Banker stakes when it lands.
