Aces = 1 point or 11 points, whichever makes a better hand.

Splitting
You may split any two cards of equal value. When you split, you must place an additional bet on the new hand that is equal to your ante. You can continue to hit for each hand, unless the split was made for a pair of Aces, in which case you can only hit once for each hand. You are allowed to play up to three hands at once.
IMPORTANT: When the dealer is forced to stand on the first deal, the game automatically hits for you until you win or bust. This rule applies in Face Up 21 because you are allowed to see both of the dealer's cards and therefore know what numbers you must beat. When the dealer is not forced to stand on the first deal, you can hit or stand.
