Royal Five

Royal Five Play as you will get playing regular Five Play. There is a price for this. You will lose considerably more between royals when you play Chase The Royal. This makes for a highly volatile game. You will either win big or lose big. If you have a conservative gambling personality, stay away from this game. But if you like the challenge of big swings both ways, this might well be the game for you.

How to play Royal Five

There are 10 different three-card royals you might be randomly assigned. They are not the same in value. The lowest-valued ones (A-K-10, A-Q-10 and A-J-10) have only two high cards and no chances for a straight flush. The mid-valued ones (A-K-Q, A-K-J, A-Q-J, K-Q-10 and K-J-10) have either three high cards and no straight flush chances, or two high cards and one straight flush chance. The highest-valued ones (K-Q-J and Q-J-T) have either three high cards and one straight flush chance or two high cards and two straight flush chances. Whichever of these you are randomly assigned, you should opt to chase the royal whenever you get the chance, but your odds are better on some than on others.
