Game Flow

• Deal the cards

• Player's Choice
  • Hit: Draw another card.
  • Stand: Play with the current hand.
• Dealer's Turn
  • The dealer turns the face-down cards face up and draws cards until he has 17 or more.
• Winner Decides
  • If the total hand exceeds 21, then loses on a “bust”.
  • When the dealer busts, the remaining player wins.
  • If the hand is high, then wins.
  • If the hands are the same, then tie.
