First, click on the chips at the lower right of the screen to place an ante. To remove chips from the ante, right click on the chips on the table.

You also have the option to make the progressive jackpot side bet - click on the coin slit above the Ante field on card table. The blinking light above the slit turns green:

  -> 

It costs $1, out of which 75 cents go to the progressive jackpot pool. If you get a flush or higher, you win a certain percentage of the jackpot.  See the winnings table below. Current size of the jackpot is shown on the left side of the table:

3.       Click on Deal to deal the cards. You will be dealt a five card hand, face up. No additional cards will be dealt for the duration of this game round.

4.       Decide wheather to stay in or fold. If you fold (click on Fold button), you will lose your ante and this game round is over for you. Click on New Game button to start a new game round or Exit to go back to the Lobby.
If you stay (click on Call), you add double the amount of your ante to the bet.

5.       Now the dealer's cards are flipped over so eveyone can see them. If the dealer's hand does not include an Ace/King combination or higher, the dealer does not qualify. You win even money (1 to 1) on the ante and the additional bet is returned.
If the dealer's hand includes a combination which is higher than yours, you lose both the ante and the additional bet.
If the dealer's hand contains an Ace/King or higher, but your hand is higher, you win even money on the ante and the additional bet pays according to the winnings table.

At the beginning of a game round, click on Rebet to place the same bets as in the last round (both ante and progressive jackpot side bet).

If you are disconnected from the Internet in the middle of a game, re-establish your Internet connection and log back into the casino. You will be automatically directed to the game that was interrupted.
