Plume D · Cards: twenty-one, house open
Open Wing
A game of twenty-one where both house cards are dealt face up, so you always know what you are playing against. Hit, stand, or double on 9, 10 or 11. The price of all that light is plain: the house takes every tie.

How Open Wing plays
- Choose a stake and press Deal. You get two cards and the house gets two, all four face up. Cards come from six full packs, shuffled again when the shoe runs low.
- Number cards count their number, jacks, queens and kings count 10, an ace counts 11 or 1. Get closer to 21 than the house without going over.
- Hit takes another card; Stand ends your turn. On your first two cards, with a total of 9, 10 or 11, you can double: the stake doubles and you get exactly one more card.
- Then the house draws to 16 and also draws on a soft 17 (a 17 that counts an ace as 11). It stands on any other 17 or more.
- If you beat the house, or the house goes bust (past 21), you get twice your stake back. The house takes every tie, including two-card 21 against two-card 21. A two-card 21 that the house does not match pays even money.
- There is no splitting of pairs and no insurance. The advised move is worked out exactly for a full shoe from your cards and both house cards.
What comes back
| Result | Back |
|---|---|
| You beat the house, or the house goes bust (past 21) | 2× |
| Two-card 21, house without one | 2× |
| A tie at any total | 0 |
| You go bust (past 21), or the house is closer | 0 |
Example: you double a 10 at a stake of 40, so 80 is in play; if you win, 160 comes back.
Good to know
Seeing both house cards helps, but the house taking every tie costs more than most people expect. The advised move shows the best play; it cannot make a hand certain.
Sheen is a play unit with no cash value. It cannot be bought, swapped or turned into anything. If it runs below 200, Preen tops it up to 4,000 for free, with no wait. Results here say nothing about how you would do at real-money gambling, and they are not a reason to try it.
Need a break? The Pause key in the header closes all six plumes on this device for as long as you choose. The Roost has check-ins, a round limit and calm mode.
