Rankford Quay

Allocate Ante first, then an optional Tie. Confirm and deal. On a tie, select War or Surrender, then confirm your decision.

Rankford Quay is a free high-card simulator with a six-deck finite shoe, reshuffled each round. One card is burned before the initial deal. Participating people receive one face-up card in seat order, followed by one common dealer card. Ace is high; suits are equal. Initial Ante wins net1:1 when your rank is higher, loses when lower, and remains locked on a tie. Optional initial Tie wins net10:1 on an initial tie and otherwise loses.

An actual initial tie offers two separate choices: Surrender returns half the original Ante; War adds exactly the Ante. Choose by arrows/native select or touch, then Allocate to prepare the decision and Confirm to seal it. Reset clears only the unconfirmed choice; it never surrenders a locked Ante. Optional War-deal Tie requires War and pays net10:1 on a second tie. The dealer burns three cards before EACH participating War card and again before the common dealer War card. Original initial cards remain beside the War cards. A lower War card loses both Ante and War. A higher War card returns Ante and pays War net1:1. A SECOND TIE ENDS THE ROUND: return Ante and pay War net2:1, plus any separate winning War-deal Tie net10:1. Stakes are returned once plus the stated net payment. With Ante20 and War20, a higher War returns60, a second tie80, a lower War0; Surrender returns10. No recursive War.
