BJ(6)								   Games Manual 							     BJ(6)

NAME

       bj - the game of black jack

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/games/bj

DESCRIPTION

       Bj  is a serious attempt at simulating the dealer in the game of black jack (or twenty-one) as might be found in Reno.  The following rules
       apply:

       The bet is $2 every hand.

	    A player `natural' (black jack) pays $3.  A dealer natural loses $2.  Both dealer and player naturals is a `push' (no money exchange).

	    If the dealer has an ace up, the player is allowed to make an `insurance' bet against the chance of a dealer natural.  If this bet	is
	    not  taken,  play  resumes	as normal.  If the bet is taken, it is a side bet where the player wins $2 if the dealer has a natural and
	    loses $1 if the dealer does not.

	    If the player is dealt two cards of the same value, he is allowed to `double'.  He is allowed to play two  hands,  each  with  one	of
	    these cards.  (The bet is doubled also; $2 on each hand.)

	    If	a dealt hand has a total of ten or eleven, the player may `double down'.  He may double the bet ($2 to $4) and receive exactly one
	    more card on that hand.

	    Under normal play, the player may `hit' (draw a card) as long as his total is not over twenty-one.	If the player `busts'  (goes  over
	    twenty-one), the dealer wins the bet.

	    When  the  player  `stands' (decides not to hit), the dealer hits until he attains a total of seventeen or more.  If the dealer busts,
	    the player wins the bet.

	    If both player and dealer stand, the one with the largest total wins.  A tie is a push.

       The machine deals and keeps score.  The following questions will be asked at appropriate times.	Each question is answered by y followed by
       a new line for `yes', or just new line for `no'.

       ?	 (means, `do you want a hit?')
       Insurance?
       Double down?

       Every time the deck is shuffled, the dealer so states and the `action' (total bet) and `standing' (total won or lost) is printed.  To exit,
       hit the interrupt key (DEL) and the action and standing will be printed.
