About Russian Poker
Russian Poker puts you at a table where you and a dealer each get five cards. You see four of the dealer's cards (one is hidden) and all five of your own cards. From there, you make a choice: fold and lose your ante bet, or call and see if your hand beats the dealer's. The dealer needs at least a pair to stay in the hand. If the dealer doesn't qualify, you win. If the dealer does qualify and your hand is stronger, you win. If your hand is weaker, you lose. The payouts depend on what poker hand you're holding, so a flush beats a straight, and so on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the dealer doesn't qualify in Russian Poker?
If the dealer fails to make a qualifying hand, the player wins even money on the ante bet and the call bet is returned as a push. The dealer must qualify for both bets to enter competition.
Can I see my own cards before making a decision in Russian Poker?
Yes. You receive five cards face-down and see the dealer's one up card before deciding to fold or call. This decision point based on your hand and the dealer's visible card is central to the game strategy.
How does the payout structure work in Russian Poker?
Payouts follow a fixed table based on standard poker hand rankings. Your hand must beat the dealer's qualifying hand to win, and the specific payout amount depends on which poker rank you achieve.
What makes Russian Poker different from other five-card poker games?
The dealer receives four cards face-down and only one card visible, forcing players to make a decision with incomplete information about the dealer's hand. This creates a unique strategic element not present in games where the dealer's full hand is immediately known.
What is the betting structure in Russian Poker?
Players place an ante bet to begin, then after reviewing their cards and the dealer's up card, they either fold or place a call bet. Both bets must qualify and win for the player to profit.
