How to play
You bet your points: each hand's win or loss changes them straight away (your points show at the top right). Each hand you and the dealer get two cards, the first face up and the second face down; you bet 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 200 or 500 points; then your second card turns up (the dealer's stays down until the dealer plays). Cards 2 to 10 count their number, J Q K count 10 and an ace 1 or 11. The dealer draws to 17. A win pays your bet, blackjack (an ace and a ten-card as your first two cards) pays 1.5 times it, and a tie gives it back. The game lasts 3 hands, until you cannot cover the smallest bet, or until you leave. At the end your Tamagotchi shows what you won (a bag) or lost (a boot).
Points
This game is played for your points: they are changed into chips when it starts, and each hand you win or lose changes them straight away. There is no points table; at the end a bag shows what you won, or a boot what you lost.
