(d) Upon placing an ante wager and a blind wager, a player may also place a two-way bad beat wager by placing a wager on the designated betting area of the layout.

111-501-161. Play. (a) For the start of play, starting with the player farthest to the dealer’s left and continuing around the table in a clockwise manner, the dealer shall deal the cards as follows:
(1) Five card packets are dealt to each player who has placed one or more wagers and to the dealer. All cards dealt to players and the dealer shall be dealt face down.
(2) After all cards have been dealt to the players and dealer, one additional card shall be dealt face down and placed in the area on the table gaming layout marked “Progressive Joker Replacement.” This card shall only be used to determine the result of a progressive wager if a player making a progressive wager has the joker card in the player’s hand, in which case the additional card shall replace the joker card.
(b) After all cards have been dealt, starting with the player farthest to the dealer’s left and proceeding in a clockwise manner around the table, the dealer shall ask each player if the player wishes to place a play wager. The player may either fold or place a play wager in an amount equal to two times the amount of the player’s ante wager.
(c) If a player places a play wager, the wager shall be placed in the designated play betting area.
(d) If a player folds, the ante and blind wagers of the player shall be collected, and if the player did not make a trips wager the player’s cards will also be collected and the player will not participate in the rest of that round of play. If the player made a trips wager, the dealer shall place the cards of the player face down underneath the player’s trips wager pending its resolution at the conclusion later in the round of play.
(e) Once all players have either placed a play wager or folded, the dealer shall turn all five of the dealer’s cards face up, position the cards to form the best possible five-card hand and announce the dealer’s hand to the players.
(f) Starting with the player farthest to the right of the dealer and working counter-clockwise, the dealer shall turn each player’s cards face up and compare the dealer’s hand to the player’s hand. The dealer shall view the cards of each player who has placed a play wager face up and announce the best possible five-card poker hand that can be formed using the player’s cards. The wagers of each player shall be resolved one player at a time regardless of outcome.
(g) If the player’s hand is ranked higher than the dealer’s hand, the player shall win and the dealer shall pay any ante, blind and play wagers made by the player provided that the blind wager shall not be paid unless the player’s winning hand has a rank of straight or higher.
(h) If the player’s hand and the dealer’s hand are of equal rank, the player’s hand shall be a push. In such case, the dealer shall not collect or pay the player’s ante, blind, or play wagers.
(i) After settling a player’s ante, blind, and play wagers, the dealer shall settle any trips wager made by the player by determining whether the player’s hand qualifies for a payout in accordance with K.A.R. 111-501-162. A winning trips wager shall be paid without regard to the outcome of any other wager made by the player.
(j) If the player made a two-way bad beat wager and the player and dealer hands consist of a three-of-a-kind or higher ranking hand and do not tie, the two-way bad beat wager is paid as set forth in K.A.R. 111-501-162. The payout odds shall be based on the rank of the losing hand. If the player made a two-way bad beat wager but the player’s hand does not consist of a three-of-a-kind or higher ranking hand, the two-way bad beat wager loses and will be collected by the dealer. Two-way bad beat wagers will also lose and be collected by the dealer if both the player and dealer do not have a hand ranking three-of-a-kind or higher. If the dealer’s and player’s hands are of the same rank of at least three-of-a-kind or higher, the wager shall be a push and the player shall retain the player’s wager.
(k) After settling a player’s ante, blind, play, trips and two-way bad beat wagers, the dealer shall settle any progressive wager made by the player by determining whether the player’s hand qualifies for a payout in accordance with K.A.R. 111-501-162.
(l) A player making the progressive wager also qualifies to win an envy bonus. If any player at the table that has made a progressive wager is dealt a Straight Flush or Royal Flush, all other players who made a progressive wager during the same round of play win the envy bonus in accordance with K.A.R. 111-501-162. The player dealt the hand that wins the progressive bonus shall not be paid an envy bonus but shall only be paid the applicable progressive prize.
(m) The dealer shall pay all envy bonuses at the end of the round of play. If more than one hand triggers an envy bonus, then multiple envy bonuses shall be paid.
(n) The progressive system is an optional system and is not required to operate the game. If the progressive system is not functional for any reason, the game may still be operated without it.
