About Russian Poker
Russian Poker is a table game from One Touch that uses a standard 52-card deck and operates on a five-card poker hand structure. Players place an ante bet and receive five cards face-down while the dealer receives four cards face-down and one card face-up. The game mechanic requires players to decide whether to fold or call after seeing the dealer's up card. If a player calls, both hands are revealed and the dealer must qualify with a pair or better to compete against the player's hand. Winning hands pay according to a fixed payout table that rewards stronger poker combinations, with hand rankings following standard poker hierarchy. The house edge is built into the payout structure rather than through deck manipulation or odds manipulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the dealer doesn't qualify in Russian Poker?
If the dealer fails to make a qualifying hand, the player wins even money on the ante bet and the call bet is returned as a push. The dealer must qualify for both bets to enter competition.
Can I see my own cards before making a decision in Russian Poker?
Yes. You receive five cards face-down and see the dealer's one up card before deciding to fold or call. This decision point based on your hand and the dealer's visible card is central to the game strategy.
How does the payout structure work in Russian Poker?
Payouts follow a fixed table based on standard poker hand rankings. Your hand must beat the dealer's qualifying hand to win, and the specific payout amount depends on which poker rank you achieve.
What makes Russian Poker different from other five-card poker games?
The dealer receives four cards face-down and only one card visible, forcing players to make a decision with incomplete information about the dealer's hand. This creates a unique strategic element not present in games where the dealer's full hand is immediately known.
What is the betting structure in Russian Poker?
Players place an ante bet to begin, then after reviewing their cards and the dealer's up card, they either fold or place a call bet. Both bets must qualify and win for the player to profit.
