1. Pick your seat and put money down. You can play one, two or three boxes at the same time. In each box you first choose where the money goes, then how much: tap the bet ring, then tap chips — tapping the $25 chip three times makes a $75 bet. For the side bet, tap the B1 ring in that box and tap chips again; Bonus 1 starts at the table minimum and can go up to your own bet, never above it. In other words, at a table with a $25 minimum limit, if you have a $100 main bet, you can choose an amount between $25 and $100 for Bonus 1. The bonus amount does not have to match your main bet amount. Hold a ring to clear it, or press CLEAR to empty the box. Bonus 1 is optional — leave the B1 ring alone for a plain blackjack hand.
2. Press DEAL when your box is ready. Each box has its own DEAL button. The hand starts when every box is in, or when the betting time runs out. Everyone at the table bets at the same time — nobody waits for a neighbour.
3. You get two cards. The dealer gets one. The dealer's second card comes at the very end, after all players have finished. This matters: if the dealer then makes blackjack, all bets on the table are lost — including the extra chips from a double or a split. The dealer never looks at a second card before you play, so a ten or an ace showing is a real risk when you think about doubling or splitting.
4. Bonus 1 is settled straight away. Look at your two cards plus the dealer's face-up card. If those three make a run (7-8-9), all the same suit (three hearts), or the same rank (three sevens), the bonus pays. Bonus 1 is yours to size: at least the table minimum, at most your own main bet — tap the ring to add chips, hold it to clear. It pays on a scale: 7 to 1 for a flush, 8 to 1 for a run, 20 to 1 for three of a kind, 50 to 1 when the run is all in one suit. The ace counts at both ends: A-2-3 is a run and so is Q-K-A.
5. Lost Bonus 1? You get one more shot. Only then does Bonus 2 open, and only for a few seconds. Wager amount for your 2nd Bonus is fixed at half of your 1st Bonus; in other words, a $50 Bonus 1 automatically generates a $25 Bonus 2. Saying YES deals your third card straight away, and that card settles it: your first two cards plus that card, same three combinations. Bonus 2 pays on a scale — 9 to 1 for a run or a flush, 20 to 1 for three of a kind, 50 to 1 when the three make a run all in one suit.
6. Bonus 2 looks at the cards, not at your total. If that card completes a run, a flush or a trip, the bonus is paid even when the same card takes your hand past 21. If it completes nothing, the bonus stake is simply lost. Either way the hand carries on as normal — you can still hit, stand, double and win the blackjack on top. The bonuses and the blackjack game are settled separately; one never cancels the other.
7. Then it is just blackjack. Get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. HIT takes a card, STAY stops, DOUBLE doubles your bet for exactly one more card, SPLIT separates a pair into two hands, SURRENDER gives up half your bet before you draw. Blackjack pays 3 to 2. The dealer draws to 16 and stands on 17.
8. Dealer's ace? You will be offered insurance for half your bet, which pays 2 to 1 if the dealer really has blackjack. If you have blackjack yourself, you are offered even money instead: take it and you are paid 1 to 1 right there.

Six decks, shuffled when the cut card comes out. Chips are virtual — this is a game, not a casino floor.

Two bonuses

Three cards. Four ways to hit. A miss costs you the side bet only — your main bet plays on as normal.

• What the multiplier means. 50× is 50 times your side bet in winnings. Bet $100 and you get your $100 back plus $5,000 — $5,100 in your stack.
• The ace counts low and high. A-2-3 is a straight. So is Q-K-A.
• Order does not matter. 7-5-6 is the same straight as 5-6-7.
