SABONG CARDS
Sabong Cards is a fun and easy card game unique to Solaire.
Here, players wager on whether the winning card appears is the MERON or WALA.
HOW TO PLAY
- Prior to the cards being dealt, players are given the opportunity to participate in the game by placing bets on any of the following betting areas:
- Main bets are labeled MERON and WALA – players can bet on whether the higher card appears in MERON or WALA (PAID EVEN MONEY).
- Suits – players can bet on whether the winning card is a Spade, Diamond, Hearts, or Clubs (PAID 3 TO 1)
- Pair/Perfect Pair – players can bet on whether the cards dealt form a Pair. (same cards, different suits – 10 to 1) or Perfect Pair (same card, same suit - 50 TO 1)
- If a player’s bet on Suit wager and Pairs meet the table minimum, then the Dealer can proceed and deal the hand even without main wagers.
- Two cards are then dealt on the table face up, one representing WALA and one representing MERON. The higher ranked card wins!
- Cards are ranked according to the following:
- Ranking by Cards – From highest to lowest (King to Ace)
- (Example: If WALA is dealt a King and MERON is dealt an Ace, then WALA wins, because King beats Ace in ranking)
- Ranking by Suits – From highest to lowest (Spade, Heart, Clubs, Diamond)
- Ranking by Cards – From highest to lowest (King to Ace)
- In case MERON or WALA wins, Main and Suits wagers win (depending on card ranking), while Pair and Perfect Pair wagers lose.
- In the event that MERON and WALA hold the same value card the winner will be determined by the suit ranking. In this case, Perfect pair wagers lose. Suits wagers are a push. (NEITHER WIN NOR LOSE)
- In case of a Perfect Pair (same card, same suit), all Main and Suits wagers lose, while Pair and Perfect Pair wagers win.
