The Ace can be considered both the highest and the lowest card (if it is necessary in the "Straight" combination). In case Dealer has the same hand with the Player, the winner is determined by the following senior card. If all the cards are the same, there is a "stand-off" situation – no one wins and no one loses. Player may insure his game from "no game" at Dealer's by placing the "insurance" bet, the minimum of which is equal to ANTE and maximum –to half of the assumed payment if he has "Three of a kind" and higher. If Player has two hands one of which is "Three of a kind" he may insure both for the half of the assumed payment. If Dealer has "no game" "insurance" is paid on 1:1 condition, if Dealer has a game then "insurance" is lost. In case the "insured" combination of the Player is identical to Dealer's one insurance is not lost. In case the "insured" combination of the Player is less than Dealer's combination the "insurance" is neither lost nor paid.
