Game Play:
A Player places a wager (bet) in the ante area in the amount designated by the table bet limit. The player then selects one of the four suits located in front of them in the player's spot by using the Suit Bet Marker (provided by the dealer) to cover up the chosen suit.
The dealer then flips a single card for play.
If the player has properly selected (matched) the suit on the dealt card, the player is now a "Survivor". The dealer then leaves the player's wager in the ante area and moves to the next player in the game. If a player unsuccessfully selects the dealt suit, it means that in this round the player is NOT a "Survivor". The dealer then collects the wager from the player's ante area and places it into the table Jackpot area, to be won by the "Survivor" with the highest ranking card, making him the "High Survivor".
The Table Jackpot is built up by the antes of the Players who have failed to match their suit marker with the dealt card, also known as the "Non Survivors". If no players match their selected suits to the card dealt to them, there is no "Survivor" in that round, and game play continues. The table jackpot is now carried over and everyone in the game from the previous round can now ante up again in the next round to try and be a "Survivor" if two or more players at the table Survive the Round by correctly matching the card suit dealt to them, then the player with the highest ranking card is the "High Survivor" and collects the table jackpot.
Also when the Dealer matches his suit dealt to him, he is also a "Survivor" and collects a small rake or "Table Tax" from the Table Jackpot.
When the dealer is the High Survivor he takes the same "table tax" as above and the Jackpot continues to grow in the next round.
When the Dealer is the only Survivor, the Tax amount from the Jackpot may be increased, if there is anything left in the Table Jackpot it is then carried over to the next round.
The Rake or tax amount can be set by the House or Casino.
Note:
The jackpot can only be won by a single High Survivor -- if two Surviving players have cards that tie in rank, then there is no single "High Survivor" and the Jackpot continues to grow, also if there is only one person at the table playing the game against the dealer or "house" then the dealer becomes a player and game play is the same except that all ties go to the dealer giving the house the slight edge.
