The game has a regular deck of 52 cards from a Two to an Ace in each of four suits. The master card in a suit is an Ace; the loose card is a Two. An Ace plays either as a master card or as a loose one.
To start a game round, place a bet in the "Ante" field. You can place an additional Bonus bet expecting you will have a pair of Aces or better on the first five cards dealt (the first three buy-in cards and the player's own two hole cards).
With initial bets wagered the dealer deals two cards to you and two to himself (the dealer's cards dealt face-down). Then the dealer deals three boardcards face-up for buy-in. After dealing the buy-in will include five cards. The buy-in cards are shared by all the players: both the dealer and you can use these cards to make your poker combinations. Knowing your two hole cards and three buy-in cards you shall take a decision whether to keep playing or not. If you want to fold, your bet amounts go to casino. If you stay, you add double the amount of your ante, in the «Call» field.
The dealer adds other two cards to the three buy-in cards. The object of the game is to collect a maximum five-card combination using seven cards (five buy-in cards and two hole ones). Your obtained combination is to be compared with the dealer's one. Besides it is considered the dealer qualifies if he has a pair of fours or better.
If both the dealer and you have the same combination, it is a «Push», i.e. a draw (neither loss nor winning); you will get back all your bets.
If your hand is better than dealer's one:
- if the dealer qualifies, the «Call» bet pays 1:1.
- if the dealer doesn't qualify, the «Call» bet returns and doesn't pay.
- the «Ante» bet pays according to the payoff table.
If the dealer has a better hand than you do, all your bets go to casino.
