How to play Hi-Lo

Play Hi-Lo for free: guess whether the next card is higher or lower, grow the multiplier with every right call and cash out any time. Skip a card you don't like.

How to play

A card is turned face up. Guess whether the next one will be higher or lower. Every right call grows your multiplier; a wrong one ends the round and takes your bet.

  • -Set your bet and press Bet to turn the first card.
  • -Pick one of the two guesses. Each shows its chance of being right and the multiplier it takes you to.
  • -Don't like the card? Skip it: the next card is turned with nothing riding on it, and your multiplier stays as it is.
  • -Cash out whenever you've made at least one right call.

The cards

Aces are low: A, 2, 3 ... 10, J, Q, K. Every card is dealt from a full, freshly shuffled 52-card deck, so each rank is always 1 in 13, whatever came before. Counting cards gets you nothing here.

  • -On 2 to Q you choose Higher or same, or Lower or same. A card of the same rank wins either way.
  • -On an Ace you choose Higher (anything but another Ace) or Same.
  • -On a King you choose Lower (anything but another King) or Same.

A round can turn at most 199 cards after the first. If you get that far, it cashes out for you (or, if you never made a guess, it hands your bet back).

How the multiplier works

Each right call multiplies your run by one over its chance: a 1 in 2 guess doubles it, a 12 in 13 guess adds about 8%. The house edge, 5%, is taken once off the whole run, not off every guess.

That makes the expected return 95% of your stake whatever you pick, however many cards you skip, and whenever you cash out. Multipliers and payouts are rounded down to the cent.

Odds for the first guess

The two guesses on each card (≥ higher or same, ≤ lower or same, > higher, < lower, = same), how many of the 13 ranks win them, and what a first right call pays:

A

> 12/13 → 1.02x = 1/13 → 12.35x

2

≥ 12/13 → 1.02x ≤ 2/13 → 6.17x

3

≥ 11/13 → 1.12x ≤ 3/13 → 4.11x

4

≥ 10/13 → 1.23x ≤ 4/13 → 3.08x

5

≥ 9/13 → 1.37x ≤ 5/13 → 2.47x

6

≥ 8/13 → 1.54x ≤ 6/13 → 2.05x

7

≥ 7/13 → 1.76x ≤ 7/13 → 1.76x

8

≥ 6/13 → 2.05x ≤ 8/13 → 1.54x

9

≥ 5/13 → 2.47x ≤ 9/13 → 1.37x

10

≥ 4/13 → 3.08x ≤ 10/13 → 1.23x

J

≥ 3/13 → 4.11x ≤ 11/13 → 1.12x

Q

≥ 2/13 → 6.17x ≤ 12/13 → 1.02x

K

< 12/13 → 1.02x = 1/13 → 12.35x

Strategy

Skipping is free, so you can wait for a card you like the look of, but no card is a better bet than another: every guess is priced on its own true chance.

  • -Safe guesses (Higher on an Ace, Lower on a King) win often and grow the multiplier slowly.
  • -Long shots (Same) win 1 time in 13 and pay big.
  • -Both return 95% on average - they only differ in how bumpy the ride is.
  • -Decide where you'll cash out before you start, then stick to it.
