Order of Hands

Each poker game uses a fifty-two card standard deck of cards. The cards are ranked from Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten through to Two in a descending order. An Ace may also be used as a One.

A poker hand at the showdown consists of your best five cards ranked according to the following list, from highest to lowest.

Royal Flush

Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten of the same suit.

 

Straight Flush

A Straight with all five cards in the same suit.

 

Four-Of-A-Kind

Four cards of the same rank.

 

Full-House

Three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank. If more than one player has a Full-House, the Full-House with the highest ranking Three-Of-A-Kind wins.

 

Flush

Five cards of the same suit. If there is more than one flush, the hand with the highest card(s) wins.

 

Straight
