Hi Lo Max

Introduction

Hi Lo is a simple card game offered by Funfair Technologies , a company specializing in developing games for online casinos. Their offerings closely resemble traditional game formats. High Low by BetFair, Draw Hi Lo by BetSoft, and Hi Lo by Playtech.

Both games revolve around the concept of drawing a random card, where players wager on whether the subsequent card will be higher, lower, or the same, along with various special bets.

Rules

  1. The game utilizes a 12-card deck containing one card for each rank, but notably excludes the 10.
  2. Aces are high.
  3. A card is randomly selected from the deck. Should the player be dissatisfied with the card drawn, they have the option to request additional draws, with a maximum of three cards.
  4. Players can place bets on whether the next card will be higher, lower, or equal to the drawn card, including other specific betting options.
  5. Cards are returned to the deck after each round, allowing them to potentially reappear in future draws.
  6. This game accumulates all winnings together. Players have the freedom to withdraw at any moment and can restart whenever they choose.
  7. Below, you will find a detailed list of betting options and their corresponding payout tables. All payouts are calculated on a 'one-for-one' basis.
