Beginning of the game

The goal of the games is to get higher combination than dealer does.

Player can play either on one box or several. Playing on more than one box, “open box” can be one, other boxes must be “blind boxes”. If there is a "blind box", ANTE and BET must be made before the cards are dealt. This poker can be played up to 5 boxes.

To begin the game, player has to make ANTE and BLIND bets which must be equal. There is extra box TRIPS field, which is optional, but it gives option to win extra winnings. TRIPS bet can be made, if there are initial ANTE and BET bets placed.

Dealer deals himself and each player 2 cards. At this moment player decides - to make a bet on PLAY field which is 3- or 4-times ANTE bet or say ''check''. ''Check'' means player can see next cards for free. When dealer deals first 3 shared cards, player can make bet which is 2 times ANTE bet or say ''check'' one more time and see all 5 shared cards for free. When all 5 shared cards are opened player must make decision -play game and make bet which is equal to ANTE bet or refuse from the game and loose ANTE, PLAY and TRIPS bets.

Both player and dealer make 5 card combination from 7 cards - from 5 shared cards and two of their cards.
