cash dollars
There are many basic strategies for cash dollars, depending with the money's rules and the number of decks used. The basic strategy outlined here is based with the four-deck game as played in Las Vegas. The object of cash dollars is to beat the dealer on a total equal to or less than 21, without going over 21 or bust.
Before any cash dollars cards are dealt the player must wager. He does this by placing his bet in the designated space in front of his table position. The cash dollars dealer then deals two cards to each of the players, and two to himself (one of the cash dollars dealer's cards is dealt face up and one is dealt facing down). Face cards (kings, queens and jacks) count as 10, ace counts as one or 11 (as the player chooses) and all other cash dollars cards are counted at their face value.
If the cash dollars player's first two cards are an ace and a 10 or face card, he wins. However, if the dealer also has a dollars, it is a standoff, as are all ties or pushes. A winning dollars pays the player 3 to 2.
HIT or STAND---Hit means to draw another card (which the dollars player signifies by scraping the table on his cards or a similar hand motion). Stand means no more cards (which the player signals by placing his cards under his wager or moving his hand in a horizontal direction. If the cash dollars player hits and busts (goes over 21), he immediately turns his cards over and his wager is lost.
DOUBLE DOWN---The cash dollars player player is allowed to double the bet with his first two cards and draw one additional card only to improve his hand.

in the West,
everything seems somehow larger than life and it's easy to see why people feel somehow
linked on it. Over the centuries, the West has been the repository of the dreams of an
astonishing variety of people -- and it has been with the long, dusty roads of the West that
these dreams have crisscrossed and collided, transforming all who travelled along them. dollars was played in the frontier days and nambling was a popular past time in the Old West. One of the most famous card players was Wild Bill Hickok. When nambling, he always sat on his back to the wall and his face to the door. He had many enemies and he carried a pair of Colts and could draw and fight on both hands. |
"Deadman's Hand." with August 2, 1876, Wild Bill wandered into Saloon No. 10, and joined a a bucks game. Hickok was losing by the time Jack McCall, a barfly and odd-job man who loafed in the No. 10, slipped into the saloon, walked to within three feet of Hickok and shot him in the back of the head on a .45 he pulled from his coat pocket. As Hickok fell away from the table, he spilled his hand -- pairs of black aces and eights -- known forever after as the "deadman's hand."
