The exciting aspect of the game is that you can win a lot when you least expect it. The international payoff standard for a royal flush is 100 to 1, yet Gold Club Casino offers a payoff of 200 to 1!

Minimum bet is $1, maximum is $100.

How to Play

To start a new game, place your first bet - ante. Then both the dealer and the player are given five cards, and all dealer's cards except the last one are closed. Based on your cards and the opened dealer's card, you should decide whether to continue the game or give up.

If you doubt your cards are strong enough, you can give up by clicking SURRENDER. In this case you lose your ante. To go on playing, click BET. In this case you place against the dealer an additional BET, that is two times as great as ante.

Then the dealer cards are opened and compared with player's cards to see if there are winning situations. When comparing the dealer and player's cards, the dealer's card must have Qualify. The dealer's card has Qualify if the dealer has at least one winning combination in his hands or an Ace and a King. In this case if the player cards beat the dealer cards, the player gets back his ante doubled and is paid his gain according to the gain table for his bet.


If the player cards lose, all bets are lost. If the dealer has no Qualify, the player gets back his ante doubled and his bet without the winning. If dealer and player's cards are equal, there is PUSH, and all bets are given back to the player.
