+ Blackjack quick guide
+
+ play blackjack; bet 10. Beat the dealer's total without exceeding 21.
+ Aces count as 1 or 11; face cards count as 10. Busting loses even if
+ the dealer later busts. Equal totals push (return your stake).
+
+ hit / h Take a card. stand / st Keep your total.
+ double / dd Add an equal stake, take exactly one card, then stand.
+ split / sp Add an equal stake and play a pair as separate hands.
+ surrender If offered, give up the initial hand for half your stake.
+ insurance Against a dealer ace, stake half your original bet on
+ dealer blackjack; usually pays 2:1. Or type decline.
+
+ Ordinary wins pay 1:1 profit. An original ace + ten-value card is
+ blackjack: normally 3:2, but some tables pay 6:5. Split-hand 21 is
+ normally an ordinary win. For a 10-credit bet, 3:2 returns 25 total.
+ Win chances depend on cards, rules and your decisions, not fixed odds.
+
+ table rules lists the actual blackjack payout, insurance payout,
+ dealer soft-17 rule, splitting restrictions and surrender availability.
+ table help shows controls; help casino explains wagers and returns.
