Questions, answered in plain type.

Frequently asked

Is this real gambling?

No. Hole-in-One Club is a social casino for entertainment only. There is no real-money wagering, and coins can’t be bought or cashed out.

Can I buy more coins?

There is nothing to buy. If your balance runs low, press “Reset balance” below the table and you’re back at 1,000.

Why did my balance reset when I reloaded?

The balance lives only in the open browser tab. We don’t store it, so a reload, a new tab or a different device always starts at 1,000.

What rule does the house follow?

It draws on 16 or less and stands on every 17 or higher, soft 17 included. The full reference is on the game page.

How much does a blackjack pay?

A natural — an ace and a ten-value card as your first two cards — pays 3:2. A 40-coin stake comes back as 100.

Is the shuffle fair?

Yes. Each deck is shuffled with a Fisher–Yates shuffle driven by your browser’s cryptographic random number generator. The house has no memory and no way to see your cards.

Why is the Deal button greyed out?

Either a round is still in progress, the stake is below 10 coins, or the stake is larger than your balance. A message under the table explains which.

Who can play?

Adults aged 18 and over. The club is open from anywhere and makes no assumptions about where you are.
