The goal of Playtech Live Hi-Lo is simple - predict the next card's value compared to the one displayed on the table. This live dealer game is incredibly straightforward to understand and play. The basic bets in this online casino game are whether the upcoming card will be higher, lower, or the same as the previous one. The game uses six standard 52-card decks, with aces counting as high cards. Any number of players can participate in a round. On the table, you'll see a grid displaying card values from 2 to Ace, with one highlighted as the reference card. You place your bet on whether the next card drawn will be higher, lower, or the same as this card.
The dealer starts by discarding the first three cards from the shoe and then deals the next card, which is compared to the reference card on the table. Bets are settled, and the reference card is replaced with the new one, beginning the next round.
The number of bets you can place at one time varies based on the mode you choose. In the most restrictive mode, Single Betting, you can only bet on one position. However, by enabling Multiple Betting, you gain the flexibility to bet on multiple positions simultaneously. This allows you to hedge your bets and explore a wider range of options:
Higher (with adjusted payout) - The next card will be higher than the previous one.
Lower (with adjusted payout) - The next card will be lower than the previous one.
Snap (12.06:1 payout) - The next card will be the same as the previous one.
Ace (11.56:1 payout) - The next card will be an Ace.
Ace/King (5.78:1 payout) - The next card will be either an Ace or a King.
Red (1.92:1 payout) - The next card will be red.
Black (1.92:1 payout) - The next card will be black.
2/3/4/5 (2.89:1 payout) - The next card will be one of these values.
6/7/8/9 (2.89:1 payout) - A mid-range card will be dealt.
J/Q/K/A (2.89:1 payout) - A high card will be dealt.
The payout amounts for Higher and Lower bets are calculated after the next card is revealed. Generally, the payout is smaller than even money if the outcome has a higher probability of occurring, while the other bets offer more static payouts.
