I just wrote up a page about both versions of Genie's Hi Lo. Briefly, this is a Playtech game where the player bets if the next card in the deck will be higher or lower than the last one and/or on the color. There is one version where you can quit any time and are rewarded for taking long shots. In the other, it just matters how far you get.



As usual, I welcome all questions, comments, and especially corrections about the new page before I announce it on the Odds site.

The question for the poll is what do you think of the game?

I'd link to more information about Playtech.

This sounds like an online, party pit version of Faro.

Faro draws a losing and winning card as two distinct cards each round. This is merely hi/low with proper odds given a vigorish of 3%.
Some people need to reimagine their thinking.

I feel like the analysis spreadsheet should have a note that it was based on a $5 bet.
