Notes from the desk

Read the table rules once before your first hand.
There is no rush between decisions; take your time.
Play for the rhythm of the game, not the balance.

How to play

Choose a stake and press Deal. You and the dealer get two cards each; one of the dealer's cards stays face down. Get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. Number cards count their number, jacks, queens and kings count 10, and an ace counts 1 or 11, whichever suits the hand better (a hand with an ace counted as 11 is called "soft").

On your turn: Hit takes another card, Stand keeps your total, Double adds a second stake for exactly one more card, and Split turns a pair into two separate hands with a stake each. Keyboard: H, S, D and P.

Paytable

Result	Returned
Blackjack: an ace and a ten-value card as your first two cards	2.5× your stake (3 to 2 on top of the stake)
Your hand beats the dealer, or the dealer busts	2× the stake on that hand
Push: same total as the dealer	Stake on that hand returned
Bust, or the dealer finishes higher	Nothing returned on that hand

Returns include the stake on the hand. A blackjack and a dealer blackjack together are a push.

Features

Six decks in the shoe, shuffled again when less than a quarter of the shoe is left.
The dealer stands on every 17, soft or hard, and draws below 17.
When the dealer shows an ace or a ten-value card, the dealer checks for blackjack before you act. If the dealer has one, the round ends at once and only your first stake is taken.
Double on any first two cards, including after a split.
Split any two cards of the same value once. Split aces take one card each, and 21 on a split hand counts as 21, not blackjack.

Good to know

Doubling and splitting need a second stake from your balance; if it is too low, the buttons stay off.
There is no insurance and no surrender.
If you leave the page in the middle of a hand, your hand stands and the round is settled at once.
The shoe is shuffled before the first card is dealt; your stake and your choices never change the order of the cards.

About Blackjack Bureau

An emerald card table under a brass lamp, an ace and a jack fanned out, stacks of plain coloured chips with no numbers on them. Blackjack Bureau keeps things personal: one hand, you against the dealer.

The aim is the usual one. Get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. Number cards count their face value, picture cards count ten, and an ace counts one or eleven, whichever suits the hand. Hit to take a card, stand to keep what you have, double to take exactly one more card for twice the stake, or split a pair once into two hands.

The dealer follows fixed rules printed on the table: draw to 16 and stand on all 17s, including soft 17, a hand that counts an ace as eleven. The dealer never chooses. Cards come from a freshly shuffled random deal every round.

Like every game at the Bureau, Blackjack Bureau is free to play and runs entirely in your browser. Results come from your browser's cryptographic random number generator, the paytable is published in the dossier, and a return below your stake is shown as what it is: part of the stake back, not a win.
