Abstract: The card game provides for a series of three basic progressive wagers by players on three levels. After wagers are placed, a single dealer card is dealt face up and three cards are dealt face up to each player. The object of the game is for at least one player card to be of the same suit and of higher rank than the single dealer card. If the player does not achieve this, that player's hand ends with no further cards dealt to that player. However, if the player has at least one of the first three cards meeting the above requirement, the player wins the first progressive wager and receives two additional cards. The same rules apply to the fourth and fifth cards. Additional payouts may be provided for multiple cards meeting the rule and for various combinations of poker hands formed when all five player cards are dealt.
Abstract: The card game provides for a series of three progressive wagers by players on three levels. After first wagers are placed, three cards are dealt face up to each player. Players may raise at this point, before a single dealer card is dealt. The object is for the player to have at least one of his/her three cards be of the same suit and of higher rank than the single dealer card. The game ends for unsuccessful players at this point. Successful players win their first progressive wagers and may place second progressive wagers to receive a fourth card. If the fourth card wins, the successful player may place a third progressive wager to receive a fifth card, with the same rules applying. Additional payouts may be provided for multiple cards meeting the rule and for various combinations of poker hands formed when all five player cards are dealt.
