Gaming Guide
The game begins with a random generated number, or a roll of the dice, the
total of which determines which player receives the first set of cards. Each
player receives seven cards and creates two hands. The high hand is made up of
five cards, and the second high hand is made up of two cards.
Both the high hand and the second high hand must be higher than the bank
hands to win. If only one hand is higher, it is a tie. If both hands are lower,
the player loses.
Payoffs are even money, and the house collects a 5% commission on all
winning wagers. The house dealer may explain the rankings and assist you
in arranging your hands, but is not responsible for wins or losses.
