The rules are easy to understand and include the following: Both the player and the banker are dealt 2 cards. What follows next is decision making. The player/banker can select additional cards to reach the intended target value. All face cards are valued at between 0 and 10 and anything exceeding '10' with a royal reverts back to the value without the royal for example 'Q + 3 = 3'. Any hand valued at a number over 10 has 10 subtracted from it - so '10 +7 = 7' (The reason being that '10' assumes a zero value and restarts the count). The ideal hand is an Ace and an 8.
