PROCEDURE

Have you played Acey-Deucey before? If yes, then it is not at all difficult to understand. If no, then say no to worries too because we have got you. After rolling your eyes over this, Yablon would seem to be a piece of cake to you.

1) Take the set of 52 cards and remove the joker from the stack. Set them aside and let the game begin! 

2) We will be giving you an example of three people who will be placing the bets plus one dealer who would take care of the distribution of the cards and will also place a bet.

3) The first step would be placing the bet. Each player would be betting on a single plate known as the “Pool”. This pool would be containing the bets of each player at every point of the game. The first bet would be an even amount by all the players.

4) The dealer would then deal the cards to each player, face down. Only two cards from the shuffled deck would be distributed to each player and no one is allowed to pick up the dealt cards until the dealer says so.

5) Then, these dealt cards would be picked up by each player and they would see the cards they got. After having a look at the cards, the player will decide that whether they want to continue or not. Here is where the game gets interesting. You don’t know whether you would be getting the desired card next to you or not.

6) Round-2 of betting begins now. After analysing the risk associated and their chances of winning, now players will decide upon continuing further or not. The desired players can now place their bets into the pool. This time, the bet could be according to the players wish and capacity.

7) The basic idea of the game depends on the third card now. Suppose player 1 got two cards of numbers 5 & 7, Player 2 got 2 & 8, and Player 3 got 9 & 9. Here, the third card should be in of a number that is in-between the combinations that they have got. The closer the number is, the more probability of winning is. Player 1 has 1 variation in between, that is 6. Player 2 on the other hand has 5 variations of 3,4,5,6,7 and thus his chances of winning would be the most. Player 3 has no variation; thus, he would opt-out and not bet in the second round.

8) Now, the dealer deals with the third card and the player with the closest number in the sequence wins. Now, the player who has won would not take the entire pool instead he will match his bet with other players and take that only. Suppose he bet 2 chips, so he would take 2 chips from each player and the rest pool goes into another round.

9) Now, what if the pool gets overloaded? Well, when the game is about to start, the dealer decides on an amount for the pool. If the amount exceeds the limit, it would be distributed equally amongst the player for further rounds.
