The objective is to have a hand higher than the Dealer's. All Players compete against the casino, so everyone has an equal chance of winning.
-
The game is played with a 52-card deck. To start, Players must place an Ante before the Dealer starts dealing the cards. A Bonus Bet is also mandatory for every box and must be equal to at least the Ante.
-
When the Dealer says, "No more bets", Players no longer adjust their bets. Then, the Dealer deals five cards face down to each playing guest's box.
-
Players look at their cards and decide:
- Play. Players can play by moving their cards to the "BET" area and placing a bet equal to two Antes.
- Fold. This means laying down the cards (passing). Players may make this decision if they immediately think their hand will lose. Important: Players who fold lose their Ante.
- Exchange two to five cards for one Ante (if you think you might get a winning hand, but need to replace two to five cards, you can "buy" this card exchange for the price of one Ante). Then place a Bet or lay down the cards and lose the Ante.
- Purchase the sixth card for one Ante, then place a Bet, or lay down the cards and lose the Ante.
- Insure your hand against the Dealer's "No Game" when you have a "Three of a Kind" hand or higher. There will be also a possibility to buy the Dealer a game if the Dealer has " No Game".
Important Points
- A Player may have no more than two hands on their box.
- The second hand must have at least one card not included in the main hand. With five cards, the only possible second hand is an Ace and a King. A Player receives an additional payout for their second hand only if their main hand beats the Dealer's. The total payout for both hands may not exceed the table’s maximum payout.
- The Dealer always has only one hand.
- The Ante is never paid out unless the Dealer has "No Game", i.e., only Bonus Bets are paid out according to the payout coefficient table, even if the Player did not buy or exchange any cards.
- Once Players make their decisions, they cannot change them; after making the decisions, Players may no longer touch their cards.
Insurance
If a Player has a "Three of a Kind" or higher, they may place a special bet to insure their hand against the Dealer's "No Game" by placing chips in front of the Ante – Insurance Bet.
Players may bet up to 100%, but no more than the table’s maximum payout. The minimum Insurance is equal to the Ante.
Players may place Insurance Bets until the Dealer announces that Insurance is no longer available.
- If the Dealer has "No Game," Insurance is paid out at 1:1.
- If the Dealer has an Ace and King, the Player’s Insurance bet loses.
- If the Dealer has a game equal to or higher than the Player’s hand, the Insurance bet neither wins nor loses.
The total payout for hands and Insurance cannot exceed the table’s maximum payout. A blind box may not be insured.
