The game begins with all players making an ante bet, if they wish, they may also put a coin if he wants into the progressive jackpot slot. The dealer then deals five cards face down for each player and four cards face down, one face up for himself. Each player now picks up his or her five cards and decides further play .
In order for the players to win both of their bets, the dealer must have a hand which qualifies, meaning his hand must be an ace, king or better. Should the dealer’s hand not qualify, players who did not fold win even money on their ante bets. The call bet is returned as a push. The dealer collects all cards without showing them to anybody.
The players must expose their cards on the layout and then the dealer compares his hand with those of the players to see which hand has the highest poker rank. If the dealer’s hand is better than the player’s hand, the dealer takes that player’s ante and call bets. If a player’s hand is superior to the dealer’s hand, the player wins even money on the ante while the call bet pays according to the following odds.
Then the progressive jackpot is an optional bet. The dealer’s hand has no impact on whether you win the progressive jackpot.
The progressive jackpot payout schedule may be modified from one casino to the next, especially as regards the payoff for Four of a Kinds, Full Houses and Flushes.
