Rules

The Player places an "Ante" bet in the 1, 2 or 3 betting circles corresponding to where they believe the Highest Card will be dealt.

The Dealer places three cards face down in the 1, 2, 3 card locations.

A dice roll is used to randomly establish the "House Pick" 1, 2 or 3.

The Dealer then looks at the two Non-House Pick cards and flips over the lower ranked (by value AND suit) of the two. This is the "Bust Card".

Any player not in the Bust Card location may now make a "Raise" wager if they choose.

The Dealer burns one card and reveals the Action Card:

• If Action Card is suited Red (heart or diamond), the Dealer switches the House Pick to the other remaining card.
• If Action Card is suited Black (spade or club), the House Pick remains unchanged.
• If Action Card is a Joker, all Players, even Players who had bet on the Bust Card, win 2-1 on Ante bets and Raises.

If the Action Card is NOT a Joker:

• If the Player has picked the High Card and the House has NOT, the Player WINS 1-1 on both the Ante and the Raise wager.
• If the Player and the House BOTH finish on the same card location (High or Low), the Ante bet and Raise Wager is a PUSH.
• If the House has picked the High Card and the Player has NOT, the Player LOSES both the Ante and the Raise wager.

The Dealer then checks the four face up cards (1, 2, 3 cards and the Action card) to determine any Poker Bonus payouts.
