Every gets five cards and the gambler has to determine whether or not his card is worth wagering on after seeing the croupier’s first card.

The croupier then exhibits his cards and plays towards every player, the dealer’s five card side towards the player’s five card side and the dealer’s two card side towards the gambler’s 2 card hand.

If the croupier wins both hands he wins.

If the player wins both hands he wins.

If each and every player wins one hand there’s a "push" which means no money changes hands.

If any grip is tied the croupier wins it, so:

Dealer/Tie – dealer wins.

Player/Tie – push.

Tie/Tie – croupier wins.
