Game Summary

Super Pan 9 is a card counting game in which you try to reach a total count closer to 9. The object of the game is to win your bet by having a higher numerical total of all cards than the numerical total of the designated Banker's (Player /Dealer) cards. The highest possible value is 9.

Usually eight (some use 12) decks of cards are used with the 7, 8, 9, and 10's removed. Cards are counted at face value, face cards count as 0, and Aces count as 1. Super Pan 9 is played against a player who Banks the game, not against the Casino. The Casino takes a small collection (fee) at the start of each hand.

Each player, including the Banker, places their wager before the cards are dealt. This is the only chance to place a bet.

The designated Banker (each player is offered the chance to be the banker in turn clockwise starting from seat #1) then shakes the dice up to determine where the Action will start, the order in which the player's hand will be compared to his. In Super Pan 9, the Banker's position is always 1, 9, or 17, numbers count clockwise.

Each player, including the Banker, us then dealt three cards. You then add up your cards and use the last digit of the sum. Example: 6, 5, and 3 add up to 14, which in Super Pan 9 equals 4. You may stay with your three card-total (Stand), or you can request an additional card (Draw), one card only.

Cards have the following value: Ace=1, Deuce=2, Trey=3, Four=Four, Five=Five, Six=Six, Jack=10(0), Queen=10(0), King=10(0).
