THE PLAY

The banker deals five cards face upwards to every player, except himself. He now faces a card and any player who holds a card of the same rank pays into a pool two units if it is the same colour and one unit it is different.

In all the banker faces five cards in turn, and for the second card the players pay into the pool three units if the cards are of the same colour and two if they are different; for the third card they contribute five units if the cards are of the same colour and four if they are different; for the fourth card they contribute nine units if the cards are of the same colour and eight if they are different; for the fifth card they contribute 17 units if the cards are of the same colour and 16 if they are different.

There is now a second show of five cards by the banker, but this times the poker players take out of the pool at the same rate as they paid into it.

After this, anything left in the pool is taken by the banker, but if there is not enough in the pool to meet the requirements of the players he must make it good.

The bank passes clockwise.


Overall result of this online poker game of Easy Go: A wins 1 unit; B wins 5 units; C wins 3 units; D wins 2 units; E loses 3 units; banker loses 8 units.
