As said above the game is played with a single deck of cards. Ace is high, but may be used as a value of one as part of a Straight or Straight Flush, being Ace, 2,3,4,5.
Players must place an opening wager, called the “Ante”. All players and the dealer will be dealt five cards face down, with the exception of the dealer’s last card which will be dealt face up.
After looking at their cards, players who wish to remain in the game must place a further wager called the “Raise”, which must be exactly twice the amount of their original Ante wager. If they do not wish to make a “Raise” bet, they must “fold” and will lose their Ante wager.
Hands are ranked in the following descending order:-
- Royal Flush – Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10 of the same suit
- Straight Flush – five cards of consecutive values and of the same suit (e.g, 5,6,7,8,9 of hearts)
- Four of a Kind – four cards of the same value (e.g. 4 x 5’s, 4 x 8’s)
