The game Max Casino Guide starts with the dealing two cards for every player by the dealer. The dealer distributes the cards for himself either. The dealer exposes one of his cards for players to decide whether to take another card (hit) or play cards he has (stand). And also the player has an opportunity to double down the hand or split it.
