The object of the game is to assemble two hands of two or three cards with a point value
as close to nine as possible. Aces count as one, picture cards as 10 and the others their
face value. A hand with cards whose sum is in double figures are ranked with the 10s digit
ignored. So a hand totaling 18 would count as eight.
The house dealer deals two hands of two cards each; two cards to the right and two cards
to the left, one by one in rotation. The hand to the right of the house dealer is the
player's hand. The hand to the left of the house dealer is the banker's hand. All cards
are dealt face up. The banker's second card will be dealt after all decisions are made for
tie and hit options.

Each player has the option on 5 & 6 to stay or hit.
