High Card Flush at Hard Rock Atlantic City

How to Play

High card flush is an exciting game for players of all levels. After player checks their seven cards they can make bigger wagers with bigger flushes, additionally play the Bonus wagers to win big on big flushes and straight flushes.

To play the game the player makes the mandatory Ante wager; at this time the player can also make the optional Flush and Straight Flush wagers. All players and the Dealer will receive seven cards facedown. The players will evaluate their hands for the number of cards in the biggest flush (2-3-4-5-6 or 7-card flush). Each player will also evaluate their hand for the highestranking card in the biggest flush. For example, a 5 card flush beats a fourcard flush. When both flushes have the same amount of cards you go to the highest-ranking card to determine the winner. For example, Q-10-5-2 beats J-9-5-3. Straight flushes do not increase the value of the hand, only high cards.

Prior to placing a raise wager the players are required to discard any cards not included in the flush with the most cards. Discards are placed facedown on the table in the area adjacent to the Straight Flush Wager spot, with one exception. Players who are discarding a straight flush and have placed a straight flush wager are required to discard their cards face up in the area adjacent to the straight flush wager. This is to alert the dealer of their winning straight flush wager. Players then place their cards with the flush containing the most cards face down on the raise wager spot and place their raise wager on the cards. Additionally, if a player chooses to fold their hand prior to placing a raise wager but would still like to be paid for a straight flush wager the player must discard their cards face up on the table. There is no recourse for players who discard the wrong cards.

Each player has the option to raise or fold. If the player folds, they surrender their Ante wager. If a player wants to play against the dealer, they will place a raise wager. The players raise wager amount is determined by the number of cards in the players biggest flush. The table below list the raise wager amounts.

 

Player Hand	Raise Amount
2,3, or 4 Card Fush	1x Ante Wager
5 Card Flush	2x Ante Wager
6 or 7 Card Flush	3x Ante Wager

 

If the dealer’s hand does not qualify with a three-card flush, nine high, the players Ante wager is paid 1 to 1 and the Raise wager is a push. If the dealer qualifies and the players hand is higher ranking than the dealers hand the players Ante and Raise wages are paid 1 to 1. If the players hand is lower ranking than the dealers the player loses both the Ante and the Raise wagers. If the players hand and the dealer hand are identical the Ante and Raise wagers are a push. Winning Flush and Straight Flush bonus wagers are paid regardless of the outcome of the hand or if the player folds
