The player antes, and is then dealt a five-card hand; the dealer is also dealt five cards of which only one is exposed. The player now either folds, losing his ante, or bets an additional amount equal to exactly twice the ante. The dealer then reveals his remaining four cards. If the dealer's hand is not Ace-King or better, the player is paid even money on the ante and nothing (i.e., a push) on the bet.
If the dealer's hand is Ace-King or better it is said to "qualify" (for play against the player). In that case if the dealer's hand is better than the player's, the player's 'ante and bet' are collected by the house. If the dealer's qualifying hand is worse than the player's hand, the player is paid even money on the ante and an amount on the bet according to the player's hand as follows:
| Hand | Pays | Card Specifications |
| Nothing | 1 to 1 | Five cards of different values. |
| One Pair | 1 to 1 | Two cards of the same value. |
| Two Pairs | 2 to 1 | Two sets of two cards of the same value. |
| Three of a Kind | 3 to 1 | Three cards of the same value. |
| Straight | 4 to 1 | Five cards in numerical sequence, but of different suits. |
| Flush | 5 to 1 | Five cards of the same suit, of any value. |
| Full House | 7 to 1 | One pair + three of a kind. |
| Four of a Kind | 20 to 1 | Four cards of the same value. |
| Straight Flush | 50 to 1 | Five cards in numeric sequence, and of the same suit. |
| Royal Flush | 100 to 1 | Ace, king, queen, jack, and 10; the entire same suit. |
