ABSTRACT:
In a high/low card game, individual players place an ante and are dealt three cards, face down while the dealer is dealt four cards, one of which is face up and the others, face down. Players may then fold, and forfeit their ante or bet. Their hand is either a high hand or a low hand against the dealer. Any three of the dealer's four cards are employed to present a high hand and any three of the dealer's cards are also employed to present a low hand. If the dealer's high hand and low hand are not of predetermined rank, the respective high hand and low hand players win prescribed odds on their bet dependent upon the rank of their hand and keep their ante. If the dealer's hand is of higher rank than the hand of a player who has bet for a high hand or of lower rank than a player who has bet for a low hand and the dealer's rank was sufficient to qualify, the respective betting players lose both the ante and their bet.
