DEALING STEP POKER
DEALING STEP POKER
The game is played with one deck of cards and after each round of play, the cards are shuffled and a new round starts always with all the 52 cards deck. The game has between two and five steps in a round of play and in which wagers for all steps are placed at the start of the round. Wagers are placed by each player on at least the first two steps of play in the round and each player has the option of placing additional wagers for subsequent steps of the round. At each step of the card game, each player’s hand is determined to be a winning hand or not according to a predetermined rule or a predetermined payout schedule.
At each step of the game the card dealer deals only one card to each player. Players place wagers in the circular posts 1 to 5; wagers on posts 1 and 2 are compulsory and wagers on posts 3, 4 and 5 are optional. Players must place wagers in numerical order at the start of a round i.e. they cannot skip a step in the wagering although they are not necessarily required on all steps. It is the advantage of the players, however, to place a wager on each post. Each wager has to be within the minimum-maximum limits posted at the table and each wager can vary within those limits. The amount of each wager made by each player can vary between the steps of the game.
