Minimum Bet = 5 Chips
Maximum Bet = 250 Chips
Object:
Have two hands - of five and two cards - that are better than those that the dealer holds.
How to Play:
Click on the chips to place your bet and be dealt cards. Then arrange your cards into two hands of your choosing by clicking on any card, then clicking on another to perform a switch. Your 5-card hand must be better than your 2-card hand. Clicking on a card twice deselects the card, and there is no limit to the number of switches that can be made.
Rules:
The Deal. The player is dealt seven cards into two hands of five and two cards, face up. The dealer is dealt seven cards as well, face down. The player arranges his hands first, then clicks Ready to show the dealers' cards and determine the winner. The five-card hands are compared to each other, and the two-card hands are compared to each other. The player wins only if both of his hands win. Winning one hand and losing the other results in a push, and the bet is returned. The dealer wins any ties when comparing one hand to another. Hands have standard poker weighting in being compared. Jokers are turned into aces unless completing a straight. If used in a flush, the joker becomes the highest missing card in the flush suit. (NOTE: the two-card hand is only a pair or nothing - there is no flush or straight in the two-card hand.)
Progressive and Auto-Betting
Clicking on Progressive results in a contribution to the jackpot, which can then be won if the player holds a royal flush. If clicking on Bet when no chips have been bet yet will result in placing the same bet and progressive contribution as was done in the last hand. All progressive jackpot winnings are in Excite Chips. Excite Chips can only be used to enter the Excite Chips Sweepstakes. Excite Chips have no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash.
How the Dealer Plays
The dealer will arrange his seven cards by a slightly modified version of the method used by Caesar's Palace.
Arrange
The player can arrange his hand using the same method as the dealer by clicking on Arrange after the cards have been dealt. (The player can then still change the arrangement further.) |
