Ransom
Each player takes from the 32 sheets of a packet, one or more, usually two cards ( lots ), and pays the banker per sheet to the agreed price (use) z. B. € 1.
Drawing
The banker then takes the second package, shuffles it, lets take off and draws nine sheets from it, first laying out four pairs one below the other, the ninth card is the big ticket (1st - 5th class draw ).
Payout
For each card in the first pair, the banker pays back the single bet, for each of the second pair double, for each of the third pair three times, for each of the fourth pair four times and for the big ticket nine times the stake. After each game the banker takes the drawn cards and shuffles them back into the card pack; the players can change their cards before each new tour.
Bank advantage
If the banker can sell all 32 tickets at a price of € 1, he takes € 32 and has to pay out a total of € 2 1 + 2 2 + 2 3 + 2 4 + 1 9 = € 29 in winnings, i.e. H. the banker has a profit ( bank advantage ) of € 3, i. e. 9.375% of all bets.
