Picture cards and tens count as 0; Aces count as 1, and all other cards count as face value. If required, a third card is dealt to each hand according to specific rules. If the point value of the first two cards drawn for either hand is 8 or 9, that is known as a "Natural" and no additional cards will be drawn.
Hands don't ever exceed 9 (bust), because the first digit of a two-digit number is always dropped. For example, if 5 and 7 are drawn for a total of 12, the count is 2.
The hand with the highest point total closest to nine wins.
| Winning "Player" bets are paid even money. "Banker" winning bets are paid even money, except when the bank wins with a 6 in which case they are paid at odds of 1 to 2.
If both hands result in identical totals, the "Tie" bet wins, paying 8 to 1 (chips are placed on the "Tie" section of the table). When a "Tie" occurs, all bets on the "Player" and the "Banker" are neither paid nor taken.
The Sporting Emporium Gaming Floor is open 7 nights a week until 6am. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
