Rules - Player's hand:

If 6 or more is the total of the two initial cards of the player, then the player has to stand without making a draw for a card. If the two initial cards of the player constitute a total of 5 or less, an additional card must be drawn by the player.

Rules – Banker's hand:
If 7 or more is the total of the two initial cards of the banker, then the banker has to stand without making a draw for a card. The banker should draw a card if 0, 1, or 2 constitute a total of the two initial cards of the banker. If 3, 4, 5, or 6 are constituted by the initial two cards of the banker, the draw made by the player will determine the requirement of drawing to be done by the banker, and if happens value of the draw card of the player is determined.
