Beat the dealer!
The objective is to get a better hand than the dealer.
The final hand is a combination of your cards and the open cards on the table.
CASINO CHIPS
To play on the tables you need casino chips. You can get them at the cashier.
START TO PLAY
Place two matching bets, one on the “Ante” box and one on the “Blind” box.
There is a side bet, called Trips. When you place a bet on Trips and your hand is a Three of a Kind or better, you win, regardless of the dealer’s hand.
WINS BLIND & TRIPS
You can find your potential winnings on Trips and Blind printed on the table next to your bet.
The game starts when the croupier swipes his arm over the table. He will then deal 2 cards face down to all players and himself.
RAISING AND CHECKING
You have three chances to raise your bet if you think you can beat the bank.
- After the first two cards have been played you can bet 3x or 4x your Ante bet by placing chips on the Play box.
- Or you can wait and “check”.
- The croupier will draw three cards face up onto the table.
- If you did not raise, you can now bet 2x your Ante bet.
- Or you can check again.
RAISING AND CHECKING
The croupier will draw two more cards face up onto the table.
- If you did not raise before and want to stay in the game, you have to raise your bet with 1x your Ante bet
- Or you fold, and you will lose your Ante and Blind bet.
