DOUBLE-HAND POKER

Welcome and thanks for visiting the Double-Hand Poker section at The Palace; where all the action is non-stop in the friendliest gaming atmosphere. We play Double-Hand Poker 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Double-Hand Poker is played with a standard 52 card deck and a Joker. The Joker can be used as an Ace or to complete a straight, a flush, or a straight flush.

The object of this game is to beat both the top and bottom of the Player/Dealer’s hands. If you win one hand and lose the other hand, then it is a push. The Player/Dealer wins all identical or copy hands.

Here are some basic guidelines on how to play Double-Hand Poker:

•	The game is dealt by a House Dealer on a poker table that has 7 seated positions.
•	The House Dealer deals out 7 hands each round of play and each hand contains 7 cards; all dealt face down.
•	The Player/Dealer will select one of the 7 hands and will shake the dice cup.
•	The dice cup numbers will determine which player will receive the first hand and also that is where the payoffs begin.
•	The Player/Dealer position is always 1/8/15. All hands are delivered clockwise starting from the Player/Dealer position.
•	Each player is to arrange their 7 cards into 2 hands. One is the top 2-card hand and the other is the 5-card bottom hand.
•	The top 2-card hand must be lower ranking than the bottom 5-card hand.
•	The game uses the same hand rankings as the standard poker game.
•	Players may have the option to set their hands or play House Way. (Our House Way is posted on the wall.)
•	You can only win or lose the amount of what you bet or bank.
•	You can play the game or bank the game against other players. (Each player has the option to be the Player/Dealer twice per round.)
