• To 'Hit' is to ask for another card. To 'Stand' is to hold your total and end your turn.
• If you go over 21 you bust, and the dealer wins regardless of the dealer's hand.
• If you are dealt 21 from the start (Ace & 10), you got a blackjack.

• Doubling is like a hit, only the bet is doubled and you only get one more card.
• Split can be done when you have two of the same card - the pair is split into two hands.
• Splitting also doubles the bet, because each new hand is worth the original bet.
• You can only double/split on the first move, or first move of a hand created by a split.
