About the game
Tidewatch Hi-Lo uses one shuffled 52-card deck. A card is turned face up; you predict if the following card ranks above or below it. Each right call multiplies what you can collect, and you decide when to stop.
Every call shows its multiplier before you choose. Calls that are less likely carry a bigger multiplier.
How to play
- Set the coins in play to 10, 20, 50 or 100, then press Deal first card.
- Aces are high, twos are low. Suits do not matter.
- Press Higher or Lower. The multiplier on each button is worked out from the cards still in the deck.
- A right call multiplies your running total. A next card of the same rank changes nothing — just call again.
- A wrong call ends the round and the coins in play are lost. After at least one right call you may Collect at any time; after eight right calls the ladder collects for you.
Paytable
| Face-up card (fresh deck) | Higher | Lower |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | ×0.96 | — |
| 5 | ×1.28 | ×3.84 |
| 7 | ×1.64 | ×2.30 |

| Ace | — | ×0.96 |
Each multiplier is 0.96 × (cards of a different rank ÷ cards in the direction you call), rounded down to two decimals. As cards leave the deck the numbers shift; the buttons always show the live figure. Coins returned on collect = coins in play × all multipliers earned, rounded down.
How results are drawn
Results come from your browser's cryptographic random number generator. Each round is drawn fresh and independently: it does not depend on earlier rounds, on your balance, or on whether you have ever bought coins. There are no tiers or account levels that change results.
