ABSTRACT:
The game uses a deck of fifty-two cards comprising 4 deuces, 4 threes, 4 fours, 8 fives, 8 sixes, 8 sevens, 4 eights, 4 nines, 4 tens and 4 wild cards (Jokers). All cards count their face value and the Jokers count one or ten at the player's option. Each player and the dealer initially receive two cards. The player draws additional cards until he decides to stop or the numerical count of his hand exceeds twenty. In the event his numerical count exceeds twenty, a count of ten is subtracted from the numerical count and the resulting number is the player's hand total. The dealer draws whenever his numerical count is sixteen or less and the dealer stays when his numerical count is seventeen or higher. If the dealer's count exceeds twenty, a count of ten is subtracted from the dealer's count and the resulting number is the dealer's hand total. In the event that the dealer's numerical count is exactly twenty-one, a count of ten is subtracted from the dealer's count and the dealer receives one more card to create his final hand. The winning hand is the hand closest to a numerical count of twenty. If either the Dealer or the Player receive two tens as the first two cards, the hand is a Natural and is an automatic winner. If both the Dealer and the Player receive a Natural, the hand is a push. A Joker cannot be used in a Natural.
