To Set the Wager
To increase the wager for the hand, double click on the player
chip, located along the lower edge of the playing area, that you
wish to add to your wager.
Or, drag the desired chip onto your wager stack, located next to
your hand.
To Deal a New Hand
A new hand can be dealt when the table is clear or when play has
finished on the current hands.
To deal a new hand on a clear table, click in the white outlines
that indicate the dealer or player positions.
To deal a new hand after play has finished on the current hands,
click once on any of the cards on the table.
To Add a Card to a Hand (Hit)
You may add cards to a hand until the hand total is 21 or over.
To add a card to a player’s hand, click once on any card in the
hand.
To Stop Taking Cards (Stand)
You may stop taking cards at any time after the first two cards
have been dealt.
To stop adding cards to a hand, click once on any other hand.
For example, when there is only one player position (ie. you
have not split a pair), click on the dealer’s hand to stand.
When you have split a pair, you may stand on the first player
hand by clicking on the second player hand, or the dealer hand.
To Double Down

the first two cards have been dealt.
