House rules, written on the tag
These rules never change between rounds. They are the same for every player and are applied by the code that runs the table.
The dealer’s fixed rule
The dealer takes two cards, one face down under a brass clasp. After you stand, the clasp unlatches and the dealer draws while under 17, then stands on any 17 or higher — including soft 17.
If either side is dealt a blackjack, the hole card is shown at once and the hand ends.

Before you deal
Free coins, every time
You begin with 1,000 virtual coins. Your stake leaves the balance when the cards come out, and any return is added back as soon as the hand settles. Run the trunk dry and the Deal button waits until you tap “Reset balance”, which refills it at no cost.
Coins have no monetary value, cannot be purchased and cannot be exchanged for anything. This table is for adults aged 18 and over and is intended purely for entertainment. Our Responsible Play page has a few thoughts on keeping it that way.
