This time it'll be for a new system I haven't covered yet. I broke my mother's record of 32 systems covered long time ago now its time for me to extend upon it. This will make 35 for me, and I have the urge to FAQ all the games for this system. Don't hold me to it. o---------------------o STORY o---------------------o The object of the game is to win as many money as you can without going broke. You need to win games by getting a better hand than the dealer without busting. o---------------------o DISCLAIMER o---------------------o Blackjack is a trademark of APF and all copyrights belong to them.

First you choose between these 3 options -1. $100 Stake -2. $1000 Stake -3. $500 Stake ($5-25 Bets) Press the appropiate button to choose the option. They all mean how much money you start out with. You can bet up to $500 with option 1 or 2 but option 3 is what it says: No less than $5 no more than $25 bets. Next choose how many players (1 or 2) Then choose how many decks you want to use (1-4) To be more specific, when it says how many decks, 1 deck = 52 cards thus that's 52 different cards to keep an eye on. Multiply it by up to 4 and that means you can have up to 208 cards to keep track of. After a number of cards have been used, the cards are reshuffled. The game starts by shuffling the cards. You should hear three distinct sounds. When the third sound is done, you are ready to place your bet. Enter it and you are given your first card, the dealer gets its first card face down, then you get your second card, and the dealers second card is place face up. If the Ace is the dealers face up card, you are asked if you want to bet insurance. Press 1 for yes or 2 for no and hit Enter. Insurance means that you are also betting that the dealer has 21 in its hand. You will lose the hand but you'll will triple the money you used for insurance. All numbered cards are counted as face value. If you get a King, Queen, or a Jack then they are counted as 10. If you get an Ace, then it is counted as 11 or in the case the total goes over 12, it is counted as a 1. The dealer must hit on anything 16 or lower and stand on 17 or higher. Those rules will either work for or against you. Getting an Ace and a 10-value card is called a Blackjack. You will receive 1.5 times the money you bet on the hand as a reward. If the dealer happens to get a blackjack, you lose the hand automatically. Sucks, I know. If you get a total of 11 on your first two cards, you have the option to double down. If you choose to do so, you will get a card face down while the dealer finishes its hand. The card will be revealed at the end to see if you won or not. You win automatically if you can hit 3 cards without busting, likewise you can win if the dealer fails to beat your hand in 3 hits even if it doesn't reach 17 The game returns to the title screen when you run out of money. o---------------------o CREDITS o---------------------o APF for making the game GameFAQs for hosting the FAQ My grandfather Jageau Steile Sr. for lending me his APF-IM set for me to FAQ this game since APF emulation is crap.
