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/dealer for each hand.
Each player may bank twice and the button rotates clockwise.
A player may decline or accept the player/dealer position.
All players play their hand against the player/dealer's hand only.
The house dealer will deal 7 hands (piles). Each hand contains 7 cards, all face down.
The player/dealer 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 3 dice, will be shaken by the player/dealer to determine
which seated player (position) receives the first action hand. The player/dealer
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/dealer's hand will be kept face down in front of the house dealer until all
players have set their hands.
Out of the seven cards you make two hands, one 2-cardhand and one 5-card hand. The
5-card hand (the back hand) must rank higher than the 2-card hand (the front hand).
The players will place their hands face down with the 2-card hand in frontand the
5-card hand in back, or stack 7 high for House Way.
After all players have set their hand the house dealer will open theplayer/dealer's hand.
The player/dealer will determinewhich way the hand will be set.
Any player may ask for their hand to be set House Way.
