HOW TO PLAY THE BLACKJACK GAME
Blackjack is a casino-style card game in which you
compete against the dealer to win credits. Your goal
during each hand of the game is to have the highest
point total that does not exceed 21 points. You will use
the interactive touch screen on the display to play the
game. Follow the steps below to play Blackjack.
Note: For detailed instructions on how to play
Blackjack, consult a card game rule book or other
card game resource.

sole to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will turn
