The objective of Hi-Lo is to predict the winning card of the game round. Live Hi-Lo is played with six card decks that are stored in a shuffling machine. To win, you need to predict if the next card will be higher, lower or of the same value as the base card of the round. You can also choose to bet on other betting positions on the table.
Note that Casino allows up to 1,000 simultaneous players.

If the base card is a 2, Lower position on the table is disabled. If the base card is an Ace, then Higher position is disabled. Also, the 10-value card is not present in the game deck.
