c. if the player has paid the fee, allowing the player to roll a single six-sided die after all of the player'"'"'s cards are accumulated for a hand as customary in the card game Blackjack;
d. adding the numerical point value of the die roll outcome to the numerical total of the player'"'"'s cards to arrive at the total numerical point value for the player'"'"'s hand;
e. comparing the total numerical point value for the player'"'"'s hand to the total numeric point value of the dealer'"'"'s cards; and
