CUMBERLAND, MARYLAND GAMING GUIDE DOUBLE DECK PITCH BLACKJACK The object is to draw cards that total 21 or come closer to 21 than the dealer. All cards are at face value, except for the king, queen and jack, which count as 10. An ace has a value of 11, unless that gives a player or the dealer a score in excess of 21, in which case it has a value of 1. The dealer starts the game. Each player gets two cards, face up. The dealer gets two cards, with one card face down (hole card). Only after all players hands are played does the dealer disclose the hole card and play the dealer s hand. Once you have your two cards in front of you, you can choose to stand (draw no more cards), or take a hit (draw one or more cards) until you reach 21 or come as close as possible. If you go over 21, you break and automatically lose. A winning hand pays even money and winning blackjack pays 3 to 2. Blackjack Terms SPLITTING PAIRS If your frst two cards are a pair with the same numerical value, you may split them. You must bet the same amount as your original wager on each hand formed by splitting a pair. DOUBLING DOWN After you get your frst two cards, or on the frst two cards of any split pair, you may make an additional wager up to the original amount except when your frst two cards total 21. When doubling down you draw only one additional card. INSURANCE If the dealer s face-up card is an ace, and prior to anyone receiving additional cards, you can take insurance. To do this you place a bet no more than one-half your original bet on the insurance line. If the dealer s hole card is a 10, jack, queen or king, you win your insurance bet at odds of 2 to 1. If the dealer s hole card is any other card, you lose your insurance bet. HANDLING OF CARDS Players are not allowed to touch the cards.

THREE CARD POKER Three card poker is a form of stud poker. Three card poker offers two independent betting options. One bet is called the pair plus bet. This wagering option allows the player to bet solely on the value of his or her hand. Additionally, a second betting option is available to the player called the ante bet. This option allows the player to wager that his or her hand will beat the dealer s hand. After seeing their cards, the players who have placed the ante wagers may either forfeit their wager and cards or wager an amount that is equal to the ante wager called the play bet to stay in the game. Once the dealer s hand is exposed and the best possible three card poker hand is determined, all winning bets are paid according to the payout schedules for each wager. Losing bets are forfeited. BET AGAINST THE DEALERS HAND The ante allows you to play against the dealer. After you look at the three cards, you have two options. You can either fold, or if you think your hand is high enough to beat the dealer, place an equal wager on the play spot. If your hand beats the dealer s qualifying hand of a queen or better, you win both wagers. If the dealer does not qualify, you win the ante wager and the play wager is a push. BET ON YOUR OWN HAND Bet just the pair plus spot to play your hand value only and not against the dealer s hand. If your hand contains a pair or better, you win!
