	If the player stays, the dealer's hidden card is displayed. The dealer will then take additional cards (normally valued between 1 and 9, but can be higher if the player has a total of 18 or greater) until they either bust, or have a total of 18 or higher that is at least as high as the player's total. If the dealer busts, the player wins; if the dealer has a higher total than the player but no greater than 21, the player loses; if the player and dealer have the same total, the game is a draw.

If the dealer busts, the player wins; if the dealer has a higher total than the player but no greater than 21, the player loses; if the player and dealer have the same total, the game is a draw.

	The odds of drawing a card is not uniform. When the player is hitting with a total of 16 or greater, they have an increased chance to receive a card which would give them a total of 20 or 21. For example, if the player hits with a total of 15, they would have a 11.1% chance of receiving each card. But if the player hits with a total of 16, the player has an 18.8% chance of receiving a 4 or 5, and a 8.8% chance of receiving the other possible cards.		The odds of drawing a card is not uniform.

	If the player has a total of 18 or greater, the dealer's draws are also weighted in the player's favor. Each time the dealer draws a card, they have a chance to instantly bust. This will cause the dealer to draw a card which would put their total between 22 and 24. This can result in the dealer receiving cards much larger than 9. The largest card the dealer could receive this way is 22. The odds of this happening are 10% per draw if the player has a total of 18, 25% per draw if the player has a total of 19, and 50% per draw if the player has a total of 20.

	If the player wins they gain a number of Qi coins equal to their bet. if they lose, they lose their bet. If the game is a draw, no coins are won or lost. After winning a game, the player may choose to bet "Double Or Nothing", which means if they win a second time they double the amount of Qi Coins they earn, but they lose all of it if they lose. This can be done indefinitely until the player loses or quits, in which case they will have to start over.		If the player wins they gain a number of Qi coins equal to their bet.
