Ante
Bet
To begin each player must place an ante bet (as in standard poker) prior
to the dealer announcing no more bets. Each player receives five cards face
down. The dealer gets four cards face down and one card face up.
Progressive Jackpot Bet
In order to participate in the progressive payouts, a player must wager
an additional $1.00. An acceptor device is provided for each player which
will accept this bet. (See progressive payout chart on opposite panel.)
Backing Bet To Call Dealer
If a player feels his hand will beat the dealer's hand and wishes to
continue playing, the player must place an additional wager of exactly twice the
ante bet.
Surrender or Fold Hand
If a player feels he cannot beat the dealer is hand, the player will fold his
hand and surrender ante.
Dealer's Hand
The dealer must have Ace/King or better to continue to play. If he does
not qualify, the players ante wager is paid even money (1 to 1) and the bet
wager is a push, (no action is taken on the bet wager). If the dealer does
have an Ace/King or better and the players hand is higher in rank than the
dealers hand, the player collects on his ante and bet wagers. If the
dealers hand and the players hand tie (all five cards are identical in rank),
the ante and bet wagers are both pushes and no action is taken.
