The winner is the hand with the point value closest to 9.
betting on the player: even money is paid on all winning wagers. (most casino softwares)
betting on the banker: even money less banker's comission is paid on all winning wagers. (The bank receives approx. 5% commission)
betting on a tie: your payoff is 8 to 1.
Aces(A): Count as one [1]
Face cards (J,Q,K) and 10's : Count as zero [0]
All other cards (2-10): Count as their numbered values.
If the cards in either hand have a combined value of ten or more points, subtract ten [10].
For example: 6+7=13, which counts as a 3,
or 9+9=18, which counts as 8.
