Welcome to black jack!

To begin, send blackj, zcardd, zdeal, and zshuffle to your calc. Run blackj from the home screen.

You will see a title screen and some info about the internal processes at the moment, please be patient. After a second or so, you will see the betting screen. Press the graphing keys to increase or decrease your bet or press [2nd] or [ALPHA] to bet all or half, consecutively. Pressing [MODE] will save and quit. Pressing [DEL] will quit. Be sure to press [ENTER] to confirm your bet and contiue to the game.

In the game, use the graphing keys to activate the different actions. Before the game begins, the calc will deal 4 cards which may take a few seconds. When it is through, you will have the option to hit, stay, or double down. If both of your cards are of the same denomination (i.e. K and K, 7 and 7, etc.), you will have the option to split (explained in greater detail later). Hit as many time as you like (up to 8). When you are through taking cards, press stand. The computer will take its cards and winnings will be determined.

SPLIT
-----
When you split, your hand becomes two, each with one of the two cards you began the hand with. You play each hand separately. When you finish both hands, they are tabulated just as though you played one hand, except that winning both will double your bet (of course, losing both also doubles your bet)! There is a decreased risk when playing two hands because there is a 1/3 chance of winning double, a 1/3 chance of not winning or losing, and a 1/3 chance of losing double, which means a 2/3 chance of not losing!
