You will have three choices to make after you receive your cards: Stand, Hit or Split. To Stand means that you won't be dealt any additional cards. If you choose to Hit, the dealer will deal you another card; if the sum of the cards exceeds 21, you are bust and will lose your bet. You will be permitted to hit as many times as you wish, so long you don't exceed 21. If two cards of the same value are dealt to you, you will be given the option to Split, which means that you will effectively be playing two hands at once.
Card Values

Insurance
Insurance is offered to the player if the dealer's card happens to be an Ace. The insurance bet is independent to any other bet.
