The flagship table

Cut to Twenty-One

A single-deck blackjack table with a dealer who never improvises. You start with 1,000 free virtual coins; if they run out, reset and carry on.

How the cut is measured

Hand values

Number cards count at face value. Jacks, queens and kings are worth 10. An ace counts as 11 unless that would take the hand past 21, in which case it counts as 1; a hand holding an ace still counted as 11 is called soft.

The dealer’s fixed rule

The dealer draws on 16 or less and stands on every 17, soft 17 included. The rule never changes mid-session.

Your options

Hit to take a card, stand to keep your total, or double on your first two cards for exactly one more card at twice the stake. Splits and insurance are not offered at this table.

Payouts

Natural blackjack (ace + ten-value card)	3 : 2
Win (higher total, or dealer busts)	1 : 1
Push (equal totals)	Stake returned
Bust, or lower total	Stake lost

The deck

One 52-card deck is shuffled before play and again whenever fewer than 15 cards remain at the start of a round.

Stakes run from 10 to 500 coins. Coins are virtual, free, and worth nothing outside this page.
