How to Play

The game will of course start off with a specific betting time of 12 second, which is the amount of time you get to make a decision on what you want to place your bets on. You start of with what often is called an Ante Bet, being your initial bet. Then you will be given the opportunity to play on up to four optional side bets. These are:

• Hot Three – Bet on whether the player's two first card and the dealer's up card create a total of 19, 20, 21 or consist of 7-7-7.
• 21+3 – Bet on the player's first two cards and the dealer's up card creating a 3 card poker hand.
• Any Pair – Bet on whether the player's first two card create a pair.
• Bust It – This bet will pay out of the dealer busts, the more cards he busts with, the bigger the payout will be.

After the betting time has run out, the dealer will give two cards facing up to the player and one card facing up and the other facing down to the dealer. Then you will have to make a decision again. Depending on whether the cards have been dealt or not, there will be six possible options to consider.

• Stand – Stop getting cards and remain on the hand that is already dealt.
• Hit – Take card until the player decides to stand or the hand is bust.
• Split – The player's hand has a pair, then the player can decide to split the hand into two hands, playing them separate.
• Double, Triple or Quadruple – Place this action on the main bet by taking one additional card only. This action can also be taken on split hands.

After you have made your decision on what to do and all other players have done the same, then the dealer will be free to act. If the dealer's hand is 17 or above, he has to Stand, if it is below 17, the dealer has to keep taking cards until he hits 17 or above or goes bust. The dealer will stand on both Soft and Hard 17s.
