How to Play Russian Poker (GamesOS)

Russian Poker is a free online version of this game with side bets, which can be played betting from one to twenty-five dollars.
A standard 52-card deck is used in this game. The cards are shuffled before each deal. Jokers are not available.
The rules for Russian Poker developed by CTXM are not difficult for those who are familiar with the basics of stud poker. The aim of the game is to beat the dealer by collecting a higher-ranking hand. It is allowed to exchange any number of cards or buy the sixth card.
The user makes an ante and receives five cards. Having evaluated their ranks, he or she decides what to do. There are several available options:

• It is possible to make a bet that is equal to two antes and compare your hand to the dealer's cards.
• It is allowed to exchange from one to five cards for one ante.
• You can buy the sixth card for one ante.
• You may fold and lose your ante.

Having drawn or bought cards, it is necessary to decide whether to call or fold.

• If the user calls, the dealer reveals his cards and checks for a combination. The dealer's lowest-ranking hand is an ace-king. If at least this hand is not available, the payout is one ante.
• If the dealer has a combination, he compares it to your hand. If the dealer beats you, you lose both bets. Having won, you receive the payout for the bet according to the multiplier established for the collected hand (they are traditional). The ante is not paid and the customer just gets it back.

The rules for Russian Poker allow buying a combination for the dealer paying one ante. The dealer will remove the highest-ranking card and take a new card from the deck. The resulting hand is compared to yours. If the combination is not formed, the payout for the ante does not occur.
The discarded cards are returned to the deck, so users may receive them again in Russian Poker.
If you don't understand the meaning of the terms that are mentioned in this article, you should read an article that deals with the rules for Russian Poker published in the corresponding section of the portal Casinoz.
One of the most interesting features of Russian Poker is the ability to form two combinations on one box. At the same time the second combination should have at least one card that does not form a part of the first combination. This occurs frequently when users purchase the sixth card.
If at least one out of two combinations beats the dealer's cards, both bets are paid.

Bonus games

The layout for Russian Poker has a box for side bets. They can be made only in conjunction with the antes, but they are paid independently.
The payouts for them are provided for poker hands starting with a straight, received before drawing cards or buying the sixth card. There are the following multipliers:

• Straight - 40:1
• Flush - 60:1
• Full house - 100:1
• Four of a kind - 200:1
• Straight flush - 500:1
• Royal flush - 1,000:1

We are going to remind you that the very high house edge is embedded in bonus bets.

Jackpots

Progressive jackpots are not provided in Russian Poker.

Interface

Since you can download Russian Poker with translations into different languages (even without translation of rules and inscriptions on the table cloth), we are not going to explain the functions of basic buttons on the control panel. Moreover, the game interface is very logical and intuitively understandable.
