Rules of Pay
- Players wager a mandatory Ante bet and any optional bonus bet(s).
- All Players and the Dealer receive 7 cards dealt face down and want the most of the five highest-ranking cards of a deck (A-10) to win.
- After seeing their cards, Players must wager a Play bet equal to 1x their Ante or fold. Only the five highest-ranking cards of a deck (A-10) matter and players will discard all other cards.
- After all Players have acted on their hands, the Dealer will reveal his 7 card hand. The Dealer qualifies with Queen-Jack or better. (Ex: the Dealer qualifies with any hand containing three or more of the five highest-ranking cards of a deck (A-10)). The Dealer qualifies with any two of the five highest-ranking cards of a deck (A-10), if these two cards contain an Ace or King, Q-Q, or Q-J).
- If the Dealer does not qualify, all remaining Ante bets push.
- If the Player hand beats the Dealer hand, the Player wins even money on the Play and qualified Ante bets.
- If the Dealer hand beats the Player hand, the Player loses the Play and qualified Ante bets.
- If the Player and Dealer hands tie, the Play and qualified Ante bets both push. Standard card rankings (A>K>Q>J>10) are used to break ties between hands with the same total number of the five highest-ranking cards of a deck (A-10).
- The Top 5 Bonus pays odds on the total amount of A-10 cards in the Player’s hand.
- The Poker Bonus pays odds on the poker ranking of the five highest-ranking cards (A-10) only.
