Cribbage hands
vs. the dealer.
Casino Cribbage scores cribbage hands against the dealer like you're at a blackjack table. Fast hands, big payouts, and a perfect 29 pays five thousand to one.
How it works
One hand. One bet. That fast.
We took cribbage scoring and dropped it on a casino table. No pegging round, no peg board — just a hand against the dealer.
Place your bet
Pick a main bet. The crib bonus side bet rides along at half your main bet — and it pays up to 5000:1 on a perfect 29.
Discard two cards
You're dealt 6 cards. Pick the four that score best against the dealer. The other two go to the crib for the side bet.
Beat the dealer
The cut card flips. Both 4-card hands score against it. Highest score takes the main bet. The crib scores separately for the bonus.

Casino-style rules
3:4 win payout, dealer qualifies on 2+, ties to dealer, 50% crib bonus side bet. Built to feel like the casino floor.
Big payouts on the crib
The crib side bet pays from 2:1 all the way to 5000:1 on a perfect 29. One lucky discard can swing the whole night.
Stack the chips
Track your bankroll, wins, and best hands over time. Watch the streaks build and the chip stack grow.
The crib bonus
Hit a perfect 29. Win 5000:1.
The crib is a separate hand made from your two discards, the dealer's two, and the cut card. The bonus side bet pays on the crib alone — even an average crib pays.
FAQ
Common questions.
Is this real cribbage?
The scoring is real cribbage — 15s, pairs, runs, flushes, nobs. We've reframed each hand as a single bet against the dealer, more like blackjack. It's a casino spin on cribbage, not a recreation of the traditional 121-point game. (And no, you won't actually find this format at a casino. Yet.)
Does it cost anything?
No. The chips are play money and the game runs entirely in your browser. No ads, no signup.
Can I install it on my phone?
Yes — it works as an installable web app and runs offline. On iOS use Share → Add to Home Screen. On Android or desktop Chrome use the install icon in the address bar.
How is the deck shuffled?
A fresh 52-card deck is shuffled with a Fisher–Yates shuffle on every hand. The dealer doesn't peek and doesn't cheat.
