Game terms
To start the game gamblers make a bet on the “ANTE” field. Dealer hands round 2 cards (face down) to each gambler and himself and then three open cards at the center of the table (flop) – so called “boardcards”. After that the gambler observing his own cards and “boardcards” must decide if it is worth continuing the game or not.
If You decide not to continue the game put cards on the table not opening them and say “FOLD”. Dealer takes the cards, “ANTE” bet loses. If you continue the game, you need to make a bet in the “BET” field equal to two “ANTE”. Then dealer adds two more cards to the three “boardcards” and open his own cards.
The aim of each gambler is to find the best combination of five cards using two of his own and five “boardcards”. As gamblers, the dealer defines his combination using two of his own and five “boardcards”. All the gamblers’ combinations are compared with dealer’s combination. Minimal game – is “pair of fours”. If the dealer and the gambler have the same combination of five cards, the box does not win or lose. Two cards left from seven-card enrolment are not taken into account at any cases.
