Card values: Cards count as face value except 10’s Jacks, Queens and Kings.
10’s, jack, queens and kings have no value and count as nothing.
Aces always count as one.
The best and highest hand is 9 followed by 8.
A hand totals 8 or 9 in the first two cards is called a natural and the game is over.
When cards that total 10 or higher only the last number is used. 16 becomes 6.
The players hand always stands on 6 and higher.
The players hand always draws a 3rd card if the total is 5 or less.
The player will not draw a 3rd card if the bank had an 8 or 9 in the first two cards.
If the player does not have an 8 or 9 the bank must draw a 3rd card following the rules.
If the player has 6 or higher and the bank has 5 or less, the bank must draw.
