The game provides a player with three opportunities to win: 1) head-to-head competition against the dealer, with the higher poker hand winning; 2) competition for a common pot among the players, the amount of the pot increasing until a player has a hand of three-of-a-kind or better; and 3) bonus payments for long-odds hands (e.g., straight or better). Because no player has an opportunity to increase his/her wager during play, the game proceeds rapidly. | |
