Of course, you also have the option of placing a Bonus Bet before the deal, at which point the criterion for determining the degree of a win on this Bonus Bet, if any, would be the entire seven-card hand you possess. In these situations, the House will take a fee of 5%. The standard payout for any winning hand is simple - it is even money (1-to-1). All other Straight hand combinations are ranked according to their value, and the highest ranking Straight wins. An Ace, Two, Three, Four and Five is the second highest ranking Straight. A Straight completed by a Ten, Jack, Queen, King and Ace is the highest ranking Straight.If you win one hand and lose the other hand, the game is a Push.If you and the Dealer have the same High Hand or the same Low Hand, it is called a Copy. The Fortune Bonus bet wins if your best possible seven-card hand matches one of the payouts from the offered paytable.If your High Hand value is equal to the Dealer's, the Dealer wins.If your Low Hand value is equal to the Dealer's, the Dealer wins.If you and the Dealer both have high cards of the same value, the second highest value cards are compared.If your cards do not contain any valid hands, the card of highest value must remain in the High Hand.

So, you can use the Joker to make a pair with an Ace.
