Banko

Setup Players agree on a predetermined amount to place in the pot, preferably 3x the usual betting amount. The dealer places two face-up cards in front of a player. One player plays at one time.

Gameplay

• The player places a bet (amount x) on whether the next card drawn will fall within the values of the two face-up cards.

• If the card drawn falls within the range, the player wins the bet amount from the bank.

• If the card drawn does not fall within the range, the player loses the bet amount to the bank.

• If the card drawn matches either of the face-up cards, the player pays double the bet amount to the bank.

• The game continues until there is no money left in the pot.

Example

• Face-Up Cards: 3, 10

• Bet: Rs 100

• Third Card Outcomes:

  • If the third card is 5 → You receive Rs 100.

  • If the third card is A → You pay Rs 100.

  • If the third card is 3 or 10 → You pay Rs 200.
