HOW TO PLAY
1. The value of the hand is determined by the sum of the cards: All cards have a face value; Aces are 1 or 11; Picture cards are counted as 10; Jokers are wild; any card(s) with the joker will forms a 21.
2. A single or multiple deck of standard cards is used. If multiple decks are used, one Joker is added to each deck.
3. When play begins, all players receive two cards face up; the player dealer's hand will receive one card face up. After the completion of the draw the player dealer will receive a second card.
4. Players have the option to draw additional cards after the completion of the initial deal. Players may receive additional (hit) cards, starting from the next clockwise position from the player dealer. Players may draw as many cards as permitted. See chart "Hit/Stand Rules for Players."
5. After all players have exercised their right to draw additional cards, the player dealer may receive his/her draw cards. The player dealer may draw as many cards as permitted. See chart "Hit/Stand Rules for Player Dealer."
6. If the player dealer's up card is a Joker, there is no draw.

3. If a player's total is more than a "Natural" and the player dealer's total is more than a "Natural", and:
a. player dealer is closer to a "Natural", then player dealer wins. b. player is closer to a "Natural", it results in a push.
4. Player dealer wins all ties over a "Natural."
5. If the player's total and the player dealer's total are both below a "Natural", the hand closest to a "Natural" wins.
6. If the player and the player dealer have the same total equaling a "Natural" or less, it is a push.
