ABSTRACT:
A card game using a standard fifty two card deck of four suits, is played by dealing a plurality of cards to each player and finally a single face up card (called the "E" card) to the dealer. The object of the game is for the players to have at least one card which is of a higher (or lower, as decided by each player before any cards are dealt) rank than the "E" card and of the same suit. The game is adapted to various forms of wagering, with players being allowed to place sequential bets as each round of cards is dealt to the players. Checks, calls, and raises are also permitted. The total amount bet is split between winning players, in private games. Variations on the number of cards dealt to each player will change the odds for winning payoffs, with fewer cards in a hand providing fewer possibilities for winning, and thus higher payoffs. Another casino variation is an increased payoff for a "straight flush" hand, in which the hand contains a higher (or lower, as earlier decided by the player) sequence of cards of the same suit as the "E" card. The game is very quickly learned and easy to play, thus providing novice and experienced players alike with an equal opportunity to win, yet not requiring novice players to undertake the time consuming task of learning a relatively complex set of rules.
