The house dealer controls the shuffling and dealing of the cards, orderliness of
the game and the house collections for each hand.
The dealer button denotes which one of the seven players is the player/banker
for each hand.
Each player may bank twice and the button rotates clockwise. A player may decline or
accept the player/banker position.
All players play their hand against the player/banker's hand only.
The house dealer will deal 7 hands (piles). Each and contains 7 cards, all face down.
The player/banker selects one of the 7 piles as the first hand to be delivered. The
dealer will place an action button on the selected hand.
The dice cup, containing three dice, will be shaken by the player/banker to determine
which seated player (position) receives the first action hand. The player/banker is
always counted as numbers 1, 8 or 15.
The dealer will deal each player (position) a hand consisting of 7 cards each.
The player/banker's hand will be kept face down in front of the house dealer.
The players set their hands.
Out of the 7 cards you make two hands, one 2-card hand and one 5-card hand. The
5-card hand (the back hand) must rank higher than the 2-card hand (the front hand).
The player will place the hands face down with the 2-card hand in front and the
5-card hand in back.
After all players have set their hand the house dealer will open the player/banker's
hand.
The player/banker will determine which way the hand will be set.
Any player may ask for their hand to be set House Way.
