Equipment Required

A ten card deck (four 4s, three 3s, two

2s, and 1 Ace).

A layout for players to place their wagers

showing the card value and payouts of
various bets.

How to Play
The player picks their odds by placing their
bet on a card value (A, 2, 3, 4). The player
then chooses a card from the ten face down
card on the table. If the card selected
matches the bet chosen, it is considered a
winning hand. The player will be paid
according to the odds layout. If the card does
not match the bet chosen, it is a losing hand
and the players money will be collected by
the house.

Various Wagers
There are four wagers to choose from in Pick
Your Odds.
A player may select the 4 card and will be
paid 1:1

A player may select the 3 card and will be

paid 2:1
A player may select the 2 card and will be
paid 3:1
A player may select the A card and will be
paid 4:1
