Game rules - STReight(tm)

The Basics

Players, usually up to eight, play against the house represented by the croupier also called the dealer, who deal the cards and handles the wagers and payouts.

To play STReight(tm)-online you can bet any amount equal or higher than $1 on the game board bets areas. Click the "Shuffle and Draw" button to shuffle and draw the cards.

To win you need to predict the drawn formation(s). Bet on many formations to increase your chances of winning at every deal.

The winning combinations are formations of two or more successive cards of a kind as, one pair, two pairs, straight three, all four, and all suits formations, no matter their order. Optional, you can bet on the losable formations, as well.

The Bets

Suite bet is the bet on a certain suite, no matter the formation - place your bet or bets on any regions labelled with a suite sign (spades, diamonds, clubs, and hearts).

Any-suite bet is the bet on a certain formation, no matter the suite - place your bet or bets on any regions labelled from 2 to 4:
2 - for any pair, called "two-straight, any suite" - this is any formation of two successive cards of a kind;
3 - for any three in line, called "three-straight, any suite"- this is any formation of three successive cards of a kind;
4 - for any four in line, called "all four, any suite" - this is any formation of four cards of a kind;

Full bet is the bet on a certain formation of a certain suite - place your bet or bets on the green squares, where the formation's label crosses the suit's label.

All suits' bet is the bet on all suits formations, no matter their order - place your bet or bets on the region labelled "ALL".

The Payouts

A bet on a certain suite, no matter the formation, (suite bet) pays 4 to 1 (you collect 5)

A bet on any pair (two-straight, any suite) pays 1 to 1 (you collect 2).
A bet on any three (three-straight, any suite) pays 6 to 1 (you collect 7).
A bet on any four (all four, any suite) pays 50 to 1 (you collect 51).

A full bet on pairs (two-straight) pays 7 to 1 (you collect 7).

Only pure formations generate payouts; in other words, a four of a kind formation is not double pair.

Object of the game

To win at STReight(tm) you need to predict what formation(s) the dealer will serve and have the chance to bet on many formations.

Some players go with the winning formations calling them 'hot' formations and therefore likely to come up more times. Others see which formations did not come up for some time and bet on them believing that their turn is now due. Some players bet on many formations to increase their chances of winning at every deal, but this way the payout will decrease. Other methodical players use specific STReight(tm) systems or methods, money management systems, or both.
