To begin, all players make a blind bet wager. They have the option to make a wager on the Pocket Pairs side bet. If the players 2 hole cards are a pair, they wins the side bet and are paid according to the posted Pocket Pairs pay table.
The dealer then deals 3 cards face down to each player and 3 cards face down to himself. He also deals 2 community cards face down.
Each player then examines his 3 cards and determines which 2 cards he wishes to keep and which card to discard. Players are not allowed to share information about their unseen cards with other players.
After all players discard one card, the dealer will reveal the first community card. Each player must now decide to either fold his hand and lose his blind bet or raise 2X his blind bet and continue playing the game.
After all players have either raised or fold, the dealer will reveal the last community card and his 3 hole cards. He will then discard one of his 3 cards to make his best possible 4-card hand.
The dealer will then compare his hand to each player's hand. If the dealer's hand beats the player's hand, the player loses his blind and raise bets. If the player's hand beats the dealer's hand, the player wins even money on his blind and raise bets. If the hands tie, the player's blind and raise bets push.
If the player gets a flush or better, the player wins a High Hand Bonus on his blind bet regardless of the outcome of the game.
The following is the pay table for the High Hand Bonus:
Four of a Kind: 40 to 1
Straight Flush: 20 to 1
Straight: 3 to 1 (May vary and pay 2 to 1)
Flush: 2 to 1 (May vary and pay 1 to 1)
