Your 7-in-1 Ultimate Casino requires 2 AA batteries. Be sure to review “Battery Information” on page 18. Carefully turn the unit over so that the top side is facedown on a soft surface, such as a towel or magazine. You’ll find the battery compartment on the unit’s back. Use a small

Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw. Lift off the battery compartment lid. Install 3 AA batteries, making sure to match the polarity (+ and -) with the diagram inside the battery compartment. (See diagram at left.) Place the battery compartment lid’s tabs in their slots and snap the compartment door back on. Replace the screw and gently tighten it.

O BJECT

The object of Blackjack (21) is to beat the dealer by drawing cards that add up to 21, or as close to 21 as possible, without exceeding 21. The Ace is worth

11 points unless this amount pushes a hand over 21, in which case the Ace counts as 1. Face cards are worth 10 points. All other cards count their face value. You compete only against the dealer.

H OW TO P LAY

Just like a professional dealer, 7-in-1 Ultimate Casino will deal you two cards and deal itself one. You must then decide whether to press STAND (to draw no more cards), or to press DEAL to take another card.

Remember, if you go over 21, you automatically lose! When you’ve decided to stand, 7-in-1

Ultimate Casino finishes its hand.

If your final count is closer to

21 than the dealer’s count, while not exceeding 21, you win an amount equal to your bet, and get your betting money as well. If your count is the same as the dealer’s, it’s a tie

(or push)—nobody wins, and you keep the money you’ve bet.

If your hand is less than the dealer’s (and the dealer hasn’t gone over 21), you lose your bet.

ACCARAT

O BJECT

Baccarat is a guessing game.

Before each hand, you must guess whether your hand will be best, the dealer's hand will be best, or the hands will tie.

The best hand is the hand that comes closest to nine in total points. If you correctly guess the best hand (yours or the dealer's), you get paid double your bet amount. If you guess wrong, you lose your bet amount. If you guess that the hands will tie and you are correct, the computer pays nine times your bet amount.

C ALCULATING P OINTS

Aces = one point.

2 through 9 = face value points.

(a seven is seven points etc.)

10 & face cards =

0 points.

If the hand is 10 points or more, subtract 10 to get the value of the hand. For example:

7+6=13=3 and 4+6=10=0.

15

P LAYING B ACCARAT

Two cards each are dealt to the player and the dealer (computer). Depending on the point total of the two cards, proceed as follows:

1. If the point total for either hand is 8 or 9, the hand is a

"natural" and neither hand receives any more cards.

2. If the point total for either hand is 6 or 7, that hand stands and does not receive any more cards.

3. If the point total for either hand is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, that hand receives a third card.
