Roughly 70 Native American Indian reservations operate or are building casinos as well. The object of the game is to obtain a hand of cards totaling up to 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going over. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. You win if your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand. If the dealer "Busts" or has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! The cards from 2 through 9 are valued as indicated.
