• To play a game round, place your bets again or use the Rebet button.
• To skip a turn, simply do not place any bets on the table.

Game flow

• First, you must place the main bet, and then you get to place the optional side bets Partita Perfetta and Mano di Poker. The side bets can win irrespective of the main game outcome.
• Next, the dealer deals two cards: first card face up to you and second card face up to the dealer.
• In some cases, the dealer will deal additional cards to you automatically, already before the action round. This means that you cannot hit or stand until a specific requirement is met:
  • The King of Coins is your first card – you receive one card automatically;
  • The King of Coins is dealer’s first card – you receive card(s) automatically until your score is 7 or more;
  • Your score is lower than the dealer’s – you receive card(s) automatically until your score equals dealer's score or exceeds it;
  • Dealer's first card grants them 5 points and your score ties – you receive one card automatically.
• Action round starts when you have 7 points or less, but your score is equal to dealer’s score or exceeds it. You can choose to Hit or Stand. If you do not make a move, you automatically Stand.
• Once the action round is over, dealer draws additional cards. Dealer stands on a total 5 or more points. If every player at the table busts (scores higher than 7.5), the round is over, and the dealer does not draw additional cards.
• Hand totals are compared, and round results are announced.
• It is also possible that under specific circumstances the game is automatically finished and you win the round. See the Game Rules section for further info.

Cards and point values

The game uses the Neapolitan playing card suits. The cards are divided into 4 suits (Italian names are given in brackets): Coins (Denari), Cups (Coppe), Swords (Spade) and Clubs (Bastoni). The card deck consists of 40 cards (a standard deck of cards with the 8s, 9s and 10s removed). The cards are:

• Number cards from 2 to 7
• Face cards: Jack, Cavalier and King
• Ace, also known as 1-value number card

* The value of the King of Coins depends on the hand combination. See below.

King of Coins and Sette e Mezzo Royal

If the King of Coins is a single card in hand, its value is 0.5, like other face cards. In combination with other cards, it takes the value of any other card in the deck to create the best possible hand. When additional cards are dealt to your hand, the King of Coins may change its value again to keep the hand value as close to 7.5 as possible.

King of Coins can also form the Sette e Mezzo Royal : a special combination with two cards (King of Coins and another face card or a 7), which totals 7.5 points and wins over the regular 7.5-value hand.

Game rules

The object of the game is for the total of your cards to be closer to 7.5 than the dealer’s cards, without exceeding 7.5. Face cards count as 0.5 and number cards as their nominal value. Ace is also known as 1-value number card and counts as 1 point. Note that the value of King of Coins can vary: 0.5 points when it is the first card in hand, but it can take the value of any other card to form the best possible hand value with other cards.

If you receive King of Coins and another face card or a 7, you have the Sette e Mezzo Royal and win 1.5 times your bet (if your bet was 10, you receive 25). Sette e Mezzo beats the regular score of 7.5.

If the total value of your cards is closer to 7.5 than the dealer's, you win your bet amount (if your bet was 10, you receive 20). If the total of your cards is more than 7.5, you are "bust" and lose your bet. If you tie with the dealer on 5 points, you lose your main bet. Exception to this rule is when dealer's first card grants them 5 points, in which case extra card(s) are dealt to you automatically. However, if you tie on 5.5 points or more, your bet is returned to you in a "push".

The dealer must hit until their total is 5 or more points. They stand when their hand total is 5 or more points.

In some occasions, the game round could be automatically finished and you win the game round. The conditions listed below need to apply simultaneously.

If you have placed the Mano di Poker side bet, the game is automatically finished when:

• Dealer’s first card grants them 5 or more points (they stand)
• You have been dealt two or more cards
• Your hand score exceeds dealer’s score, but you are not bust

If you have not placed the Mano di Poker side bet, the game is automatically finished without an action round when:

• Dealer’s first card grants them 5 or more points (they stand)
• Your hand score exceeds dealer’s score, but you are not bust

You can bet on all betting positions within a single game round. If two players are playing on the same position, one may choose to Stand and the other may choose to Hit. In this case, the dealer will deal another card to the position, but the player who chose to Stand will not receive the card.

Side bets

These are wagers that you can make beyond the main game bet. These cannot be placed without the main bet, but you can win these even if you lose or push in the main game.

Partita Perfetta

You can bet that your first card and the dealer’s first card form a pair.

Pairs

See Payouts section for payout info.

Mano di Poker

You can bet that your first two cards and the dealer’s first card make a three-card poker hand against the following list of winning hands:

• Royal Flush – Three different face cards of the same suit
• Straight Flush - All three cards in sequence and of the same suit
• Any Three of a Kind - All three of the same ranking
• Flush - All three cards of the same suit
• Straight - All three cards in sequence but not the same suit

Note: you are eligible for the side bet only if you receive the second card! For example, if your first card’s point value is bigger than that of the dealer’s first card and you decide to stand because the dealer got 5 or more points, you will not receive a second card and you’re not eligible for the side bet.

See Payouts section for payout info.
