Description
[0001] Object: River Card Poker is a five card standard game of
Poker where the player has the option to use the Sixth (6th) river
card to complete the five (5) card hand. The game starts when each
player participating in the game makes the ante bet. The player is
then afforded Three (3) down cards in their hand and One (1) face
up card positioned in a designated area in front of the player of
that card. The player then decides to stay in the game by making
the "call" bet or the player can fold the hand (when the player
folds the hand by not making the appropriate bet, the player is out
of the game for the remainder of that hand). After the player makes
the "call" bet the Player is then afforded another card dealt face
up in a designated area in front of that player. This now gives the
player a Five (5) card poker hand. The player then decides to stay
in the hand by making the "River" bet or by not making the
appropriate bet and folding the hand. After the player makes the
"River" bet, One (1) card will be dealt face up in the center of
the gaming table, this card is called the River card and is used by
all players still remaining in the game by making all appropriate
bets in the game. The dealer then decides which hand are winning
hand by starting from dealers right and working to the left
exposing each hand paying the winning bets and taking the losing
bet. The pay table will be manufactured by statistical
analysts.
[0002] Note: There are no wild cards in this game.
[0003] Ante Bet: The ante bet is make at the start of the game and
affords the player to receive Three (3) Down cards and One (1) face
up card (only to be used by that individual player and no one
else). The ante bet must be made before the cards are dealt and
must be make for any player to participate in the game. The ante
bet is an even money payout on all winning hands.
[0004] Call Bet: The Call bet is made after the player receives
Three (3) cards face down and One (1) card face up. The player then
evaluates the hand to determine to either fold the hand (stopping
play for the remainder of the game for that player) or making the
Call bet to remain in the game. When the call bet is made the
player is then afforded One (1) card face up (to be used by that
player only and no other player) making the hand a Five card total
hand at this point. The Call bet is the equal amount to the ante
bet and this bet begins winning the Jackpot pay table odds set
forth by the casino.
[0005] River Bet: The River Bet is the final bet the player will
make for that round of play. The River Bet is double of the Ante
and Call Bets the River bet affords the player to see and use the
Sixth (6th) and final card of the game. The dealer will place the
River card face up in the center of the table for all players
remaining in the game to use. The River Bet wins the Jackpot pay
table odds set forth by the casino.
