The Card Game- How to Gamble on Hearts

Hearts is an interesting card game that belongs to the whist card game family. You can play this game for real money.

The Basics of Hearts

A standard 52 deck card deck is used in the game. Jokers are usually left out, they may be used in some variations.

The cards are classified from high to low. Here is an example of the ranking of the cards which are arranged in sequential order: A, K, Q, 10-2. Spades use the same rankings as hearts, however, the object of the game is the opposite of hearts.

After the cards have been shuffled and cut, the dealer then deals each player one card at a time until the whole deck is finished. Each player will have the same number of the card. There are usually 4 players in a hearts game, this means each player will get 13 cards. If there is an odd number of players, some of the cards will be leftover. The remaining cards will be placed face down on the middle of the table, the player that the first trick get6s the cards. No one will get to look at them until to take score.

Each player will then chose three cards to pass to the player on their left side.  You will get three cards from your right and you will give the player to your left three cards as well. The cards must be given to the other player face down. Players are not allowed to look at the cards that have been passed to them until they have passed their own cards. The goal is to get rid of cards that will negatively impact your game.
