• Keep your game dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store your game only in room temperature environments.
Handle your game carefully; do not drop it. Keep your game away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth
occasionally to keep it looking new.
• When the sound becomes weak or distorted, the display dims, or the game stops operating properly, replace the batteries. If
the game continues to operate improperly, consult your local RadioShack store.
• If the game stops operating properly, you might need to reset it. Use a pointed object to press the RESET hole on the back of
the game.
getting started
The object of Blackjack is to defeat the dealer by getting more
points than the dealer without exceeding 21 points.
playing the game
1. Hit DEAL/DRAW icon to start game with minimum bet or
repeatedly hit the BET icon to place a bet of 20 (minimum),
40, 60, 80, or 100 (maximum) points, then press DEAL/
DRAW ICON. The game deducts the points from your total
and automatically deals you 2 cards.
2. Use your stylus to choose an option: INSURE, SPLIT,
SURRENDER, DOUBLE, STAND, or press the HIT icon to
get more cards.
3. After each round, the display shows the game status.
4. Repeat steps 1—3 or press DEAL/DRAW (play with current
betting amount) to start another round.
counting the deck
• The deck consists of three standard 52-card decks.
• Numbered cards count at face value. For example, a four is
worth four points, and an eight is worth eight points.
• The 10 and face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) count as 10
points each.
• You can count an Ace as either 1 or 11 points.
betting
The game starts with 10,000 points. Whoever wins the
hand collects the bet. Bets are paid off evenly, except in the
following instances:
• If you get a total of 21 points on the fi rst draw, you get a
5-for-2 payoff — you win 50 points for your 20-point bet.
• If you double your bet, you can win four times the amount
you bet. For example, if you bet an additional 20 points,
you would win 40 points and receive a total of 80 points
(including the 40 points you bet).
• If you split your hand, you can win double stakes (you bet
an additional 20 points on the second hand and win both
hands for a total of 40 points).
• If you surrender your hand, you only lose half of your bet.
winning
• Your total is 21 points or less, but more than the dealer’s
total.
• The dealer’s total is more than 21 points.
• The two cards you are dealt are an Ace and a 10-count card
and the dealer does not have a Blackjack.
losing
• Your total is less than 21 points and is less than the dealer’s
total.
• Your total is more than 21 points.
• The dealer gets Blackjack and you do not.
• Your total is 21 points but the dealer gets Blackjack.
pushing
You push (tie) when you and the dealer have the same
total hand (21 or less). Your bet is returned to you and play
continues with the next hand.

Insurance: If the dealer’s up-card is an Ace, you can press
INSURE to place an insurance bet. If the dealer has a
Blackjack, 1.5 times your insurance bet are added back to
your total. If the dealer does not have a Blackjack, you lose
your insurance and continue the hand.

Split: If your fi rst two cards are a pair, SPLIT appears. Hit
SPLIT to split the cards and play two hands, which are
indicated by -1- (hand one) and -2- (hand two). Your bet
doubles, and is subtracted from your score.
• You cannot split if your point score is less than your bet.
• If you get a blackjack after splitting, you win only the
amount of points you bet, not the 5-to-2 payoff for
blackjack.
Surrender: If you do not think you can beat the dealer’s
hand, you can hit SURRENDER to give up your hand. The
hand ends and you lose half your bet.
Double: If you think you can beat the dealer’s hand with
only one more card, you can hit DOUBLE to double your bet
on any initial two-card combination. Your bet automatically
doubles and you receive one more card only.
• You cannot double down if your point score is less than
your bet.
Stand: Hit STAND if you are satisfi ed with your hand and do
not want to hit, split, or double. Play goes to the dealer.
Hit: Press HIT to request an additional card if you are not
satisfi ed with your current hand.
The game deals a card each time you press HIT until you
stand, get 21 points, or have a total of more than 21 (bust).
