RULES OF THE GAME\n\n A Blackjack (two cards that equal 21) beats all other combinations of cards that equal 21. A two-card 21 on split hands is not a Blackjack. At the beginning of each game, players must place their bets in the betting area in front of the position they sit at the table.

An Ace will have a value of 11 unless that would give a player or the dealer a score in excess of 21; in which case, it has a value of 1. The dealer starts the game. Every player gets 2 cards, face up.
