How it Works

Cards from 2 to 9 have a face value whereas the 10, the Jack, the Queen and the King has a value of zero. The Ace is worth 1 point. There are few possible events that might happen and depending on that the players can receive two or three cards.

Regarding when the banker will draw a card and when will it stand, the rules are similar to those of the Blackjack, but with smaller values.

The winning condition is to have a higher value of the sum of all cards of the most right figure in the number. For example, suppose you get a 6 and a 7, the sum is 13. This means your value is 3. In case you draw 2, 3 and a 5 your value is 0.
