A Player places a wager (bet) on any one, two, three or even four of the four suit positions on the bottom of the Player field spot, he may also bet on the color of the card to be dealt by placing a wager in one of the red or black color spots on the bottom of the Player field spot. The Dealer then flips a single card for play in the first rung area of the odds designated ladder on the table.
The Dealer then collects any unsuccessfully selected (mismatched) wagers.
If the Player or Player's wager has successfully selected (matched) the color or suit on the dealt card, the Dealer then moves the wager up into the ladder climb area paying the appropriate color or suit odds designated for that rung.
The Player or Player's wager is now on the ladder and ready to climb the rungs of the ladder at increasing odds. (Your quest as Player is to match the dealt cards and reach the Top Rung).
Note: The game is now closed to any Player that has failed to match either a color or suit with their designated wager.
The Dealer then instructs any Player or Players with a wager in the ladder climb area to now use their Marker (provided by the Dealer) and select any one of the four suit positions on the bottom of the Player field spot, this
Also designates what color the Player thinks the next dealt
Card will be.
The Dealer then flips a single card for play on the next rung of the odds designated ladder.
If the Player has successfully selected (matched) the color or suit on the bottom of the Players field with his Marker, the Dealer then pays the appropriate color or suit odds designated for that rung.
If a Player unsuccessfully selects the dealt color or suit, the Dealer then collects the wager from the ladder climb area and the Player must begin again at the bottom of the Player field spot when the game becomes open again
Note: The game becomes open again for the whole table to wager when there are no more bets left in the ladder climb area.
This usually takes no longer than a Black Jack Dealer to get to a third base patron.
Game play continues until the player or players reach the Top Rung of the ladder matching any dealt colors or suits successfully or fail to match either a color or suit on any ladder rung.
Ace Pays Double:
If an ace is dealt and the Player has correctly selected the proper color or suit, the Dealer then pays the Player double the appropriate color or suit odds designated for that ladder rung.
Note: House Edge:
Top Rung has a house edge of approximately 4.2% for the Suit Bet (Analysis), and a 5.8% house edge for the Color bet (Analysis), this edge seems to give the game a hold comparable to other well known table games. Top Rung can be dealt from an 8 deck shoe with a 40% penetration. Protection against advanced players is best assured by dealing the game from a continuous shuffler. |
