Game Flow
Member needs to ensure that they have sufficient balance to Buy-in before joining a table. There are 2 types of players in Super Bull game, a Player and a Dealer.
Dealer – The Dealer compares their hand against all players.
Player – Player/s ONLY compares their hand against the Dealer.
A game begins with the dealer bidding phase:
- Player bids for the 1 or 10 consecutive rounds for the Dealer position.
- If nobody bids for the Dealer, a Dealer will be chosen at random.
- If 2 or more players bid on the Dealer position, the Dealer will be chosen at random between the bidding players.
After the dealer has been chosen , players can then place a fixed bet amount against the dealer depending on the dealer’s total buy-in amount. Once confirmed, each player would be dealt 2 cards each.
If a player has a Pok all players would have to reveal their cards immediately and skip straight to the hand comparison phase if not players would be given the option to draw 1 more additional card or pass starting with the dealer and only after would players then compare their hands.
Once a round is completed, players would be given the option to leave the table or remain seated to continue playing. Players with insufficient funds would automatically be prompted to buy-in in-order to continue playing.
In the event of a draw game, both players and dealer will be charged half the rake for the stake placed.
