High Five Poker is a casino table game initially developed and promoted by SHFL amusement. The aim is to get a much better five card poker hand than the dealer. Should you ever played with Pai Gow Poker you will find some similarities in that it utilizes a 53-card deck, in which the 53rd card is a Joker. This lone semi-wild card may be utilized to complete a Straight, Flush, Straight Flush, or Royal Flush; differently it may be utilized as an Ace.
High Five Poker tables are currently at The Brass Ass (real name) Casino in Cripple Creek, CO, which also offers a progressive version.
How High Five Poker is Played
The table has chairs for as many as six players. Players must first create an Ante bet. The dealer will then deal seven cards face down in a clockwise way to every participant, and seven for him or himself. Every player then assesses Their cards making one of the following choices:
- Twist, forfeiting the Ante wager.
- Discard two cards while maintaining the best five card hand and produce a Play bet equal to the Ante bet.
The dealer then shows the home cards to create the best five card poker hands. The dealer qualifies if he or she has at least a set of sixes or from a participant with a straight.
By way of instance, if the trader has a set of deuces and participant number 1 includes a direct, and participant number 2 includes a set of three, the dealer participates against participant but not contrary to participant number two. Therefore, what happens to the payouts once the trader does or does not meet the requirements?
- When the dealer doesn't qualify, the Ante bet pays even money, and the Play wager forces.
- When the dealer qualifies and defeats the player, the participant's Ante and Play bets lose.
- When the dealer qualifies and can be crushed by the participant, the participant's Ante and Play bets pay even money.
- If the dealer qualifies and ties the player, the player's Ante and Play bets push.
The trader works counter-clockwise when deciding the results of all the rest of the players' wagers. The house advantage is approximately 3.6%.
