Bet $1–$3 before any cards are dealt or revealed. Each player faces the banker separately. Aces count as 1, number cards at face value, and 10/J/Q/K as 0. Keep only the last digit of your total.
A two-card 8 or 9 settles immediately. Natural 9 beats natural 8; either beats every non-natural hand. Equal naturals tie.
Each remaining player draws one card or stands, in seat order. The banker acts last and can settle selected opponents with two cards, then draw or stand against the rest. Everyone sees the hands after all bets are locked.
A winning two-card suited hand pays 2×; three cards of the same suit pay 3×. Three picture cards (J/Q/K) beat all non-naturals and pay 2×. The highest applicable bonus is used, never multiplied together. Two three-picture hands tie. Losing suited hands get no bonus protection.
Everyone banks once per round. Default rounds: 3 for 2–3 players, 2 for 4–5, and 1 for 6–8. The host can choose 1–10 rounds. Scores start at $0 and show net winnings; ties move no money. No deposits or real-money payments.
Turns last 60 seconds. An absent player bets $1 or stands automatically. Refreshing reconnects your seat on this browser. Rooms expire after 24 hours of inactivity.
