Progression through the table limits
When you first enter the game, you are given $2,000 and can only play on lower limit tables ($1-100 and $10-1,000).
Once you return to the Lobby with over $10,000, you are invited to move up to the $25-2,500 table limit.
With over $100,000, you are invited to play on the $100-10,000 tables. If you gamble your way past $1,000,000, you will be invited to play on the highest table limit of $250-25,000.
These higher limit tables are on different levels of the casino floor. Bouncers will not let you through until you have been invited to play on those tables.

BLACKJACK
Blackjack is a game where players play against the "house" or casino. The object is to get cards that add up to a number as close to 21 as possible.
If a player goes over 21, they bust and are out of the hand. All cards are worth their printed numbers. Face cards are worth 10, and an ace is worth either 1 or 11, player's choice
