But practically, you’d be lucky if you could even communicate the suit counts (number of cards of each suit) dealt. A Monte Carlo analysis shows that with 6 confederates, perfect knowledge of the dealt cards gives each spot at least a +7.3% edge over the house. If the dealer qualifies, the Ante and Play bets receive even-money action against the dealer hand.Īs you would expect, collusion helps in this game. If the dealer doesn’t qualify, the Play bets push, and the remaining Antes are paid even-money. The dealer qualifies with a three-card, 9-high flush. Each player must Ante before the hand, then wagers a 1x-3x Play bet (depending on flush size), or folds. Each hand is measured by its highest flush, where a flush is first ranked by its length (number of cards of same suit), then by its card values.
The game is pretty simple, where each player and the dealer receive 7 cards.
A couple of readers have asked about Galaxy Gaming’s new High Card Flush game, which has a few placements now, and may be picking up some steam.
