C++ BlackJack - House rules.

Objective


Accumulate cards with point totals as close to 21 without going over 21.

Game setup


  • 1 to 7 players, plus a dealer

Card values:


  • Face cards are worth 10.
  • Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever makes a better hand.
  • Other cards are worth their number

Gameplay:


  • Each player, including the dealer, starts with two cards, one of the dealer's cards is hidden until the end.

Player actions

  • To 'Hit' is to ask for another card.

  • To 'Stand' is to hold your total and end your turn.

  • If you go over 21 you bust, and the dealer wins your money, regardless of the dealer's hand.

  • If you "Stand" below 21, the dealers hand is "resolved": -- Dealer must "hit" on anything below 17 -- Dealer must "stand" on 17 or above -- If the dealers hand is 17, but with an ace (soft 17), he must hit. -- Dealer never doubles or splits

  • If you are dealt 21 from the start (Ace & 10), you got a "blackjack".

  • "Blackjack" means you win 1.5 the amount of your bet.

  • Dealer will hit until his/her cards total 17 or higher.

  • Doubling is like a hit, only the bet is doubled and you only get one more card.

  • Split can be done when you have two of the same card - the pair is split into two hands.

  • Splitting also doubles the bet, because each new hand is worth the original bet.

  • You can only double/split on the first move, or first move of a hand created by a split.

  • You cannot play on two aces after they are split.

  • You can double on a hand resulting from a split, tripling or quadrupling you bet.
