Game Rules

1. A "Natural" (21 1/2) is the best possible hand. If the player and the Player/Dealer’s hands are both a "Natural" the hand is a push or tie, and no action is taken on the wager.
2. If a player’s total is less than a "Natural" and the Player/Dealer’s total is more than a "Natural" the Player wins the hand.
3. If a player’s total is less than a "Natural" and the Player/Dealer’s hand is less than a, "Natural" the hand closest to a "Natural" wins.
4. If a player and the Player/Dealer have the same total and it is less than a "Natural" the hand is a push or tie, and no action is taken on the wager.
5. If a player’s and the Player/Dealer’s totals are more than a "natural", the following will apply:
6. If the Player/Dealer is closer to a "Natural" the Player/Dealer wins the hand.
7. If the Player is closer to a "Natural" the Player loses except when the Player has a 3-card hand with the value of 23, 24, or 25 and then they will "PUSH".
8. The Player/Dealer wins all ties or pushes over a "Natural."
9. If a player has more than a "Natural" and the Player/Dealer has less than a "natural" the Player/Dealer wins. The player would win if they had less than a "Natural" and the Player/Dealer had more than a "natural."
10. Two cards 21and half beat all other hands.
11. All collection fees are collected by the casino Dealer prior to the start of play.
12. Backline betting is allowed.
