Game Rules
This Poker games is like a version of five cards Poker, with a few changes. You will be seated as if you were in a land based casino Poker table, as an online player. All cards drawn are dealt face up, with the exception of one card. This card is called the “Exchange Card.” Only one card can be traded in this type of Poker. The dealer uses a deck of fifty-two cards, and deals in the order explained below.
Cards are dealt by the dealer, alternating between one card each to the player and the dealer. In every game, one card is given face up and four cards are given face down to the dealer; one exchange card is given face down and five cards are given face up to the dealer.
Ante
You must put an “Ante” bet at the start of the game, this will signal the game that you would like to play in the game. Cards are given to the dealer and the player after the “Ante” bet has been placed.
Bet or Exchange Card
You will have two options after been given five cards. You must decide if you want to trade one of your cards for the “Bet” or “Exchange Card” on your hand. If you decide to exchange a card, the same quantity as in your “Ante” will be withdrawn from your credits and placed in your Total Bet value.
Press the “Bet” button when you are satisfied with your hand and this will put double (2x) the quantity placed in your “Ante” to the “Bet” box. Bonus and the rest of the credits placed in the game will be lost, if you do not place a bet on your hand.
A dealer must open for bets to win. A dealer needs a hand with a king and an ace or a hand of more value in order to open. Back bets are given back and all players ante bets are paid on a ratio of one to one, if the dealer does not open. Hands with a lesser value than the dealer lose and hands with more value win, if the dealer opens. When a dealer’s and a player’s hands are of the same value, then the next highest card in the hands are matched, and the hand with the higher card wins. A stand-off is called if the hands are still equal. A combination of two hands with cards of a King/Ace combination is also a stand-off, without regard to the other cards in the hands.
If a player wins, “Ante” bets are paid on a one to one ratio and “Back” bets are paid depending on the rank of the hand, with a higher payout the higher the hand, an without a payout for the exchange bet. If a hand draws, exchange bet is withdrawn, “Back” bets and “Ante” bets are given back. All bets are lost if the hand loses.

Understanding the Game
This game is based on a regular playing table equal to the one found in any land based casino.
Live Video and Sound
Every game has automatically activated the live video, but, if you do not want to watch the live video or want to deactivate the sound, there are alternatives in the lower right edge of the live video section for this, as follows.
Starting from the left side, “Stop” is the first button, and it detains the Live Video Feed from going into your computer. You may still continue/play the game when this button is clicked. “Pause” is the second button, and it suspends the video feed while playing (do note that this will not suspend the game that you are playing). “Sound” is the third button; it deactivates the sound coming from the Live Video (a red forward slash is displayed on the sound icon when this button is clicked). The last button undocks the video feed from the Game Table allowing the player to place the Live Video Window in any location on the player’s desktop.
