How to Play
Poker essentials: how to play
Rkgg poker uses classic Texas Hold’em rules with a standard 52-card deck. Each hand supports 2–10 players. Each player receives two private cards (hole cards) and five community cards are dealt in stages. The best five-card hand wins the pot.
Before cards are dealt, two players post blinds to seed the pot: a small blind and a big blind. The dealer button moves clockwise each hand, guiding betting order.
- Pre-Flop: Each player, in turn, can Call, Raise, or Fold. If no one raises, the big blind may Check.
- Flop: The first three community cards are dealt face up. A new betting round begins with the next player to act.
- Turn: A fourth community card is dealt and another betting round occurs.
- River: The fifth community card is dealt and the final betting round occurs.
Showdown: If more than one player remains after the final betting round, hands are revealed and the best five-card hand wins the pot. If two players share the best hand, the pot is split.
Baccarat basics: rules and payouts
In Rkgg’s baccarat, you bet on the Hand you think will be closest to 9: the Player, the Banker, or a Tie. The game uses an eight-deck shoe and is typically dealt face up for both first and second cards. Card values are simple: 2–9 as face value, tens and picture cards as 0, and Aces as 1; totals above 9 are reduced by subtracting 10.
The Player and Banker each start with two cards. If either total is 8 or 9 on the initial deal (a natural), no extra cards are drawn. If no natural occurs, a short drawing rule applies to decide whether a third card is drawn, based on the two-card totals and, in some cases, the Player’s third card.
Payouts: Player wins 1:1; Banker also pays 1:1 but a 5% commission applies on Banker wins. Tie bets pay 9:1. If a Tie occurs, bets on Banker or Player are returned.
Blackjack basics: play and options
Blackjack on Rkgg is multi-hand, using two standard 52-card decks and allowing up to three hands at once. The aim is to beat the dealer’s hand without going over 21.
Card values: numbered cards are their value; face cards are worth 10; Aces are 1 or 11. You start by placing a wager and are dealt two cards. The dealer also gets two cards, with one face up and one face down.
- Hit: take another card
- Stand: keep your current hand
- Split: divide a pair into two hands (max 3 splits per round, i.e., up to four hands; Aces split only once)
- Double Down: double your wager and receive one more card
- Insurance: if the dealer’s first card is an Ace, place a side bet up to half your original wager against the dealer having Blackjack (pays 2:1 if the dealer has Blackjack)
Key rules to note: Blackjack pays 3:2 when you start with an Ace and a ten-value card. If the dealer reaches 17 or more and you haven’t bust, you compare hands; a “push” returns your original wager. If the dealer has Blackjack after you Split or Double Down, those wagers are lost.
Roulette basics: bets and play
Roulette on Rkgg uses a circular wheel with numbers 0 through 36. The ball lands in a numbered slot, and you win based on the bet you placed. Bets are placed by selecting a chip and clicking on the betting area. You can repeat your last bets, and you’ll see your total bet in the device’s window. If a bet is below the table minimum, you’ll be warned; if it exceeds the maximum, you’ll receive a notice.
Inside bets cover numbers on the main grid; outside bets cover groups arranged below and to the sides. Inside bets include:
- Straight Up: a single number
- Split: two adjacent numbers
- Street: a row of three numbers
- Corner: four numbers meeting at a corner
- Line: six numbers across two rows
Outside bets include:
- Dozen bets (1st 12, 2nd 12, 3rd 12)
- Column bets (two-column lines)
- Even/Odd, Red/Black, 1–18 / 19–36
Note that zero is not covered by the columns and outside bets. Payouts vary by bet type. You can also explore neighbor bets that align with the wheel’s layout. Place your bets, watch the spin, and collect any winnings when the ball lands in a winning slot.
