Open Russian Poker

What is the difference between Russian Poker and Open Russian Poker? When you play Russian poker, you do not see the other players’ cards and may not exchange information about your cards. In Open Russian poker, on the contrary, you may exchange information. What else is different? The payout for the “Two Pairs” hand. In Open Russian poker, the payout is 1:1; in Russian Poker, the payout is higher, 2:1. In both Russian poker and Open Russian poker, you can get two hands on a single box.

Conditions for two hands:

• The second hand must include at least one card that is not part of the principal hand.
• For a hand of five cards, the second hand may also be A + K.
• You receive an additional payout on the second hand only if your principal hand is higher than the dealer’s.
• The total payout on the hand and insurance may not exceed the table’s maximum payout.

If the player's combination is greater than the dealer's combination, then the dealer pays only the BET bet in accordance with the payout table, in this case the ANTE bet is not paid.

In the case of "No game" at the dealer, the player can choose to receive ANTE or "buy the game" to the dealer, i.e. exchange the dealer's highest card for the next card from the deck for one ANTE. Moreover, if the next card from the deck is identical to the one being replaced (and the dealer again has “No game”), then the dealer re-exchanges the highest card without additional payment, but only once.

If, after buying the game, the dealer has any combination, then he turns over the cards of the players who participated in the purchase of the game and compares the combination of each of the boxes with his own combination (according to the rules of Russian poker).

If after buying the game from the dealer again “No game”, then the ANTE and BET bets are not paid and are not collected.

The bet on insurance does not exclude the possibility of buying the game from the dealer.

If the dealer and the player have the same combinations, the winner is determined by the highest card; in the absence of such, a “draw” or Stay situation arises: the player’s bet does not lose and does not win.

Minimal game "Ace-King".

The uniqueness of Russian poker lies in the fact that a player can simultaneously form two poker combinations and both of them can be paid in accordance with the payout ratios. For this, two conditions must be met:

• One of the two combinations must be higher than the dealer's;
• The second hand must include at least one card not included in the first hand.

Before the start of the hand, the player can place an additional bet on the bonus in addition to the usual ANTE bet. The bonus is paid before the start of both the exchange and the purchase of cards by the players.
