1...the game
   This is standard casino rules black jack.  You get 2 cards face up;
   and the dealer gets 2 cards, 1 face up, 1 face down.  You decide 
   if you want to hit or stay, then the dealer goes. He flips over his 
   face down card and then either hits of stays, depending if he has 
   a total of 15 or above.

2...the rules
   If you go over 21, you lose.  If the dealer goes over 21 you win.  
   If you score higher then the dealer without going over 21, you win.
   If you tie the dealer, you lose...get the point?
   NOTE: to get a black jack, your ace has to be a '1' 

3...the controls

   stay: 2nd

   F1:   choose ace as '1'
