Basic Outline of sidebet rules / how to play
1. The game is played with six decks of standard card dealt from a shoe or shuffle machine. The game is unusual in consisting of three separate wagers, for effectively three separate games but played during the same hand.
2. Players must first place three wagers on the three betting circles in front of them, being:-
3. Flush Bet (top)
4. Sandwich Bet (middle)
5. Block Bet (bottom)
6. The three wagers may each be for different amounts within the table maximums, but participating players must make all three wagers.
Flush Bet
7. The Dealer deals one card face up to each Player and one community card (the “flop” card) face up to the area in front of the chip tray.
8. The Player wins if their card is the same suit as the Flop card, and loses if it is not. Ace is high for this aspect of the game. Better odds are paid if the card is of the same ranking, or higher than the Flop card, in accordance with the pay table below.
9. If the Players “Flush” wager is of a different suit, it loses.
Sandwich bet
10. When all Flush wagers have been settled, the Dealer deals a second card to each Player and a second card to the Flop, all face up.
11. The Player wins if the second flop card is of the same rank as either of their own cards.
12. They also win if the second flop card is sandwiched between the values of the two Player cards. For example, if the Player has a 2 and a 9, and the Second flop card is a 5 it is a “Sandwich”. Better odds are paid if the flop card forms the middle value of a three card straight. For example, if the Player has 6 and 8 and the second flop card is a 7. This is called a “Straight Sandwich”. The Sandwich relates only to card ranking, so suits are irrelevant.
13. Ace is high for this aspect of the game.
14. Odds are paid in accordance with pay table below: -
Block Bet
15. Having settled each Player’s Sandwich wager, the Dealer leaves each Player’s two cards in position, but discards the two Flop cards. The Dealer then deals one card, face up, in front of the float tray”.
16. The Player wins if at least one of his two cards is of the same suit and is of a higher ranking than the Dealer’s card. The bet will push if one of the Player’s cards is of the same rank and suit as the Dealer’s card. Odds are paid to winning hands as below.
17. If the Player does not have one of the winning hands in the table below, and one of their cards is not of the same rank and suit as the Dealer’s card, they will lose.
