10. Subsequent Deal

10.1 The dealer shall, beginning from the left, announce the player's point total and allow the player to indicate whether he/she wishes to:

10.1.1 double in accordance with rule 11;

10.1.2 split pairs in accordance with rule 12;

10.1.3 stand by electing to receive no additional cards; or

10.1.4 receive an additional card(s).

10.2 A player having a point total less than 12 shall be required, subject to rule 11, to receive an additional card or cards until his/her hand has a point total of not less than 12.

10.3 A player may elect to receive additional cards, subject to rules 11 and 12, whenever his/her point total is less than 21 except that a player having blackjack or a hard or soft total of 21 may not draw additional cards.

10.4 As each player indicates his/her decision(s), the dealer shall deal face upwards whatever additional cards are required to give effect to the decision(s) and shall announce the point total of the player's hand after each additional card is dealt.

10.5 Where a player's point total exceeds 21, any wager on that hand shall lose and the dealer shall immediately collect the cards from that hand and place them in the discard rack.

11. Doubling

11.1 A player may elect to double, by wagering an amount equal to their original wager, on the first two cards dealt to him/her or the first two cards of any split pair on the conditions that the point total of the first two cards total 9, 10 or 11 and that one, and only one, additional card shall be dealt to the hand on which the player has elected to double.

11.2 In such circumstances, the one additional card shall be dealt face upwards and placed sideways on the layout.

11.3 An ace in the first two cards of any double situation shall have a value of 1 and not 11.

11.4 If the player controlling the playing area elects to double, player(s) with a wager on the same playing area shall also have the option to double on that hand before the additional card is dealt. If the other player(s) do not double, the condition that only one additional card shall be dealt to that hand remains unchanged.

11.5 If the dealer obtains blackjack after a player doubles, the dealer shall only collect the amount of the player's original wager.
