Acey-Deucey is a popular card game that is quick and easy to learn. Before the action begins the player must add their ante to the pot by sliding a single chip from their bank to the bet area. After the ante is placed two cards are dealt face up and one card face down. At that time the player can choose to add to the pot or pass on the hand. If the player increases the bet, when ready the player taps Play and the face down card is revealed. If the card lies between the other two cards the player wins. If it is either higher or lower than the range given by the initial two cards the player loses. Place your ante to start. You win when the hole card is in between the two face down cards. Tap Pass to get new cards. Tap Play to risk the bet. Tap the Reset Icon to start a new game. Good Luck! The rules for Acey-Duecy vary somewhat. This game is played using a common set of rules. Before any cards are dealt the player must decide on an ante. Then, two cards are dealt face-up and the player can increase the bet after seeing the first two cards. The player can double the bet if they think it is likely that the third card will be between the first two cards. As in most card games there is no option to change the ante after cards have been dealt.
