Starting the Game

• Using the Preferences button, select which deck design you wish to use, and whether you want the Dealer or Player decks revealed first.
  
• Using the radial buttons at the bottom of the game screen, select the number of stacks you wish to play with (2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) and click on the Start button. The default stack number is 3.
• If, once you have made your selection, you wish to change the number of stacks or your Preferences, click on the Reset button.

Placing a Bet

• Select the value of your chips. The currency will reflect the currency of your account. To select a chip value, click on the chip of the value you require. The following chip values are available: 1, 5, 25, and 100. By default the 5 chip is selected.
• Place your chips on all but one of the available spots by clicking on them. Each click will place a chip of the selected value on the spot. Different chip values may be used on different spots by selecting differing chip values.  If you hover over the different spots on the table, the spot is highlighted, and the stake on that spot is displayed.
• Once you are happy with your selection, click on Bet. The last stack will be allocated to the Dealer, your bet will be placed and all the card stacks will be turned over.
  
  

  All your stacks form one bet under one Slip ID.

Winning Bets

When the stacks have been turned over, the win (√) or lose (x) result of each stack appears above it. Any winnings will be credited to your account.

The payout for a card stack having a value equal to the Dealer’s stack value is four fifths of your stake.

The payout for a card stack having a value greater than the Dealer’s stack value is your stake x 2.

In the example below, the values shown on the middle and right stacks are higher than the Dealer’s stack, so the bet wins on both the middle and right stacks. 

Both values are higher than Dealer's stack value

In the example below, the values shown on the middle stack is lower than the value on the Dealer’s stack, and value on the right stack is higher than the value on the Dealer’s stack, so the bet loses on the middle stack and wins on the right stack.

Only one value is higher than Dealer's stack value

In the example below, the value shown on the middle stack is the same as that of the Dealer’s stack and the value on the right stack is higher than the Dealer’s stack, so the bet wins on both the middle and right stacks.

One of the stack values is the same as Dealer's stack value, while the other is higher than Dealer's stack value

In the example below, the values shown on the middle and right stacks are lower than the Dealer’s stack, so the bet loses on both the middle and right stacks.

Both values are lower than Dealer's stack value

Note: If you place a bet and disconnect, log out or refresh the game (by pressing F5) before the game finishes, the game will be completed automatically and the result will be displayed in your betting history.
