House Rules

Betting

• Each player starts with 1000 unnamed currency.
• The ante is 5.
• Once a player loses funds below the ante, he is booted from the game.

Side Rules

• On the first turn of a hand, a player can choose to double down or split.
  • These actions are only available if the player has enough funds to bet this much.
• A player can split as many times as splits appear.

Blackjacks

• Blackjacks count for 1.5 times the amount bet. This applies to players only, not the dealer.
• If any of the players, including the dealer, gets a blackjack, the game stops.
  • Players with blackjacks get a "push," and their bet is returned.
  • Players without a blackjack lose their bet.
