By: Mike Petryshyn,
In this modified game of traditional poker, each player and the dealer
receive seven cards from which each players must form two hands, one of the five
cards and one of two cards.

Using the standard
poker hand ranking methods (see below), the players must organize their
cards so that the five card hand is of higher value than the two card hand. If
both hands beat the bankers two hands, the player wins. If both hands lose, the
player loses. If one hand is higher and the other lower, the hand is a draw or
push. Finally, if both hands are exactly equal in value to the bankers two
hands, the banker wins.
In calculating the hand ranking, the joker is used as an Ace or to complete
any straight or any flush. Bets are placed between the banker (which may be the
House or another player acting as banker) and the other players. The House
charges a 5% commission on all winning wagers. There is no commission charged
for tied or losing wagers. If you require assistance, the dealer or supervisor
will be happy to assist you in setting the highest possible potential ranking
hand according to House Ways. However, we cannot be responsible for any losses
that may be incurred. The order of hands from highest to lowest is as
follows:
