Build the best all odd or all even hand!
How to Play
The player makes an initial Ante wager and may also make optional Odd-Even Bonus or Poker Bonus wagers. The player and dealer are each dealt seven cards face down. The player builds a hand containing the greatest number of all odd or all even cards!
Odd Cards: 3, 5, 7, 9, Jack, King
Even Cards: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, Queen
Aces can be played as either Odd or Even
The player then decides whether to play or fold. If the player folds, cards are discarded face down to the right of the Ante and the Ante wager is collected. If the player plays, the hand is placed face down in Play box and remaining cards are discarded. Player places a Play wager equal to the Ante on top of hand.
The optimal player strategy is to make the Play wager with a four-card, Ace-high hand or better.
How to Win
The dealer builds their best all odd or all even hand. If dealer does not qualify with a four-card, King-high hand or better, player receives even money on Ante wager and Play wager pushes. If dealer does qualify, dealer and player hands are compared and the winning hand has the greatest number of cards; if number of cards is the same, winning hand is determined by highest-ranking individual cards.
Player wins – even money is paid on Ante and Play
Dealer wins – Ante and Play are collected
Tie – Ante and Play push
