Step 1
Place your table bet. Check the minimum amount that you must bet to make sure you're wagering the right amount.
-
Step 2
Wait for everyone at the table, including the dealer, to get a card dealt to them.
-
Step 3
Decide whether you will hit or stand by looking at the last card given. If you decide to hit, you need to decide whether the next card you're dealt will be a higher one or a lower one.
-
Step 4
Take the card. If the card is the same or not what you predicted (higher or lower), the wager is lost. If you predicted correctly, you can take another try in the same manner or stand.
-
Step 5
Continue to make guesses on the next card, and take hits for up to six times. If correct and get to take all six cards, the term "Catches a Wave" is said and you win 6 times your wager.
-
Step 6
Wait for all players to take the same options. If any player still has money on the table the dealer has to take cards, unlike the players the dealer has set rules. If the first card is 8 or higher, the dealer has to say lower. If the card is 7 or lower he has to say higher. If he is incorrect, the remaining players are paid the difference between the number of hits they took and the number of hits the dealer took.
-
Step 7
Continue to play if the dealer is correct. The dealer now has new rules after the first hit. She must say higher if the number up is 4 or lower, and must stand on 5-10. If, however, the next card is a face card the dealer must say lower. When the dealer has to stand, matches, or is incorrect in the higher or lower prediction, that hand is ended. The contest between dealer and player is for number of hits taken. If the player has more, the number of cards taken more than the dealer is the multiplier times the bet, less is a loss, and a tie is when both are the same.
