When
the dealer does have that qualifying hand though, that is, at
least an A K or better hand, than he'll compare his hand to
each of the players to see who has the stronger hand. As opposed
to the non-qualifying situation, both the ante bet and the call
bet (the wager in the "bet" area) are at stake now.
The player will either win both bets or lose both, depending
upon whether he has a stronger total, which would be a winner,
or a weaker total, which would be a loser.
For example, if $5 were bet on the ante and $10 on the call
bet, and the dealer held two jacks to the players two deuces,
than the player would lose both bets for a total $15 loss since,
of course, two jacks are a stronger hand than two deuces. However,
if the player has the better hand, than both bets are won instead.
Each wager, the ante bet and the call bet is paid differently.
Ante bets are paid at even money, 1-l, while call bets are paid
according to a bonus schedule which we'll show below.
Let's say we have a $5 Ante bet, and of course, our call bet,
which is double, is $10. We receive three of a kind and the
dealer holds a pair of Aces. We'll win $5 for the Ante bet,
plus $30 on the $10 call bet (three of a kind paid at 3-1) for
a total win of $35. This would be in addition to the original
$15 in bets that were made, $5 on the ante and $10 on the call.
Thus, $50 would be returned to us.
We would not qualify for the bonus payout in the unlucky event
that the dealer doesn't hold a qualifying hand. Only the ante
bet would be won. We also don't qualify for bonus payouts if
the dealer holds a stronger hand than our hand. In that case,
not only is there no bonus payout on the call bet, but both
the ante and call bets are outright losers. Note that the dealer
only wins at even money, regardless of the strength of his hand
and that bonus payouts for the players are made only on the
call bet itself and not on the ante.
