If neither the player nor the banker is dealt a total of 8 or 9 in the first two cards (known as a " natural"), the tableau is consulted, first for the player's rules, then the banker's. When Bond travels to Macau in Skyfall (2012), he visits the Floating Dragon Casino with Moneypenny and the chip found in Rapace’s assassin’s kit. He cashes it in – receiving a silver case full of money in exchange – meets the mysterious Severin and is confronted by Silva’s henchmen.

Customers include governments, central banks and leading brands. But in the 1800s the company was a big player in the playing card industry. Starting in 1831, the company started printing playing cards. In 1940 the old De La Rue printing works at Bunhill Row in London was destroyed by air raids. From 1941 onwards the printing of De La Rue’s playing cards was undertaken by Waddingtons in Leeds. In 1969 De La Rue completely sold its playing card business to Waddingtons, a company which was bought by Hasbro in 1994.Player's rule If the player has an initial total of 5 or less, they draw a third card. If the player has an initial total of 6 or 7, they stand.

If the player drew a third card, the banker acts according to the following more complex rules: What is Bond's favorite Casino game?

In Thunderball (1965), Bond faces SPECTRE’s Emilio Largo at Café Martinique, Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Bond hints at knowing Largo’s allegiances and the ‘SPECTRE of defeat’ before taking his money. Despite winning, Bond bows out to buy a drink for Domino and passes control of the shoe (the card holder which is moved around the table during play). A player going bank may either do so for as many times as they like until they lose, or as a cheval, i.e. on two hands separately, one-half of the stake being played upon each hand. A player going bank and losing may go bank again, until they lose for the third time.Burnett, P.P. (1985). "Russian Playing Card History - From the Beginnings to 1917". The Playing-Card. 13 (4): 104.
