RUSKY POKER

Guests are dealt the first five cards after placing their antes, and, if desired, by placing an extra amount equal to the ante, can buy one card (sixth card) without changing their cards or buy 2, 3, 4 or 5 cards to replace the cards they do not like. In case the dealer does not qualify to open the game, the guests can buy a card for the dealer by paying the amount equal to ante. In this case, the dealer changes the highest card and takes a new one after burning a card. If the new card is the same as the replaced card, no extra card will be drawn.

Dealer qualifies for the game with at least A+K, if the guest and the dealer have the same value cards, the winner is determined after other cards are checked. Otherwise, it is a draw.

If the dealer does not qualify for the game, the antes will be paid. If a guest bought a card for the dealer, and the game still cannot be opened, the antes will not be paid back.

This game does not offer bonus or check-out, but the guests can buy an insurance for combinations starting from Flush or higher to secure the expected winnings. In case of a dealer opening the game, the minimum amount of ante or a half of the maximum expected payout will be insured; if the dealer does not open the game, this bet will be paid out as 1:1. If the dealer opens the game, this bet will lose but in this case, the winning combination will be paid.

If the guest has A+K in addition to the card combination, his/her bet box would be paid extra. In order to receive this payment, the guest’s natural combination in hand must be higher than the dealer’s game opening combination.

If the guests draw cards, the maximum payout for the table will not be reduced by half.

You can find some special cases after receiving the first five cards:

  1. If the guest’s combination wins, the additional to this combination A+K will receive an extra 1: 1 payout.

  2. The guest’s combination of A+A+K+K+7 is paid 1:2

  3. The guest’s combination of A+A+7+7+K is paid 1:3

  4. The guest’s combination of K+K+7+7+A is paid 1:3
