Cash
Getting more cash.

Selecting this option brings up a box with squares numbered 1 to 20.  There are random amounts of money under each one.

Simply pick a square and win the amount under it.  After your sum is shown, all the other squares will flip over to expose the other amounts.

One must have one dollar or less to get more cash.


Double
Double up option.

When one gets a winning hand, they can bet double or nothing as long as they want, and as long as they keep winning.

The computer picks a card (Aces High) and the player gets to choose from the four remaining cards.  If it is higher, the player wins and can double-up again.

If it is the same, it is a tie and the hand can be played again.  Otherwise the computer wins and the game is over.  There is no limit to how many times one can double up.
