• Call

• Raise

• Spread

• Consecutives

• Pairs

• Non-consecutives

Call

This is when you want to complete your hand without raising your bet. A third card is dealt to you.

Raise

This is when you place a bet on the value of the third card falling between the values of the first two cards dealt. A bet of double your original bet is placed on the table. If you win, your payout is doubled.

Spread

This is the number of card positions that fall between the value of the two cards you are dealt.

Example:
If you are dealt a Five and a Ten, the Spread is four. This is because there are four card positions between Five and Ten. A marker is placed on Spread position four.

Note:
There is no Spread on Consecutive cards.

Consecutives

Consecutives are cards with values that are consecutive, for example, Three and Four. If you are dealt Consecutives, the third card is not dealt and the game is a draw. Your bet is returned to you.

Note:
Consecutive cards cannot form part of a Spread.

Pairs

Pairs are cards with identical values, for example, two Aces or two Fives. If you are dealt a Pair, a third card is automatically dealt. If the third card is the same value as the cards of the Pair, you are paid out for Three of a Kind. If the third card does not have the same value as the cards of your Pair, the hand is a draw and your bet is returned to you.

Non-consecutives

Non-consecutives are any combination of cards that are not Consecutives or Pairs. The spread is marked on the table by a token or marker. You can then raise or call.
