What is 32 Cards?

32 Cards is a live studio game dealt from a 32-card deck — sevens through aces in each suit. Four hands sit at the table, labelled 8, 9, 10 and 11, and those labels are the points each hand starts with. Each hand is dealt three cards, their values are added to the starting number, and the highest total takes the round. Bettors back one of the four; nobody receives cards of their own. The head start is the whole game. Player 11 begins three points ahead of Player 8 and therefore wins most often, so it pays the least, while Player 8 wins least often and pays the most. The four prices exist to offset a fixed advantage, not to reward judgement, and there is no decision to make once a bet is down. Worked example: Player 11 draws 7, 8 and 9 for 11 + 24 = 35. Player 8 draws 10, 10 and 9 for 8 + 29 = 37 and takes the round despite the lower start. The values assigned to the picture cards are set out on the rules screen. Tables also carry side bets on a hand's total, or on a range of totals. As usual these pay larger multiples and hold a larger margin than the four main bets, and the paytable differs between studios.
