The play--Run'em Twice Poker. Run'em Twice Poker is a five-card poker game played with a standard fifty-two-card deck, where the player will play two hands in the same game round against a paytable. Run'em Twice Poker offers optional 5-Card Bonus and Ultimate Pairs Bonus side wagers, and is played with the following rules:
- (1) At the beginning of the game, players must place two equal ante wagers, first ante bet and second ante bet, to participate in the game. After players have placed their ante wagers, the dealer deals two cards face down to each player, and five community cards face down in a cross-shape pattern. The player examines the player's cards and has the option to place a wager on the first run, which is determined by the first hand, ranging from 1x to 3x the first ante bet;
- (2) Alternatively, the player can choose to fold and lose all base wagers. Once the players have made their decisions, the dealer reveals the two outer cards on the horizontal line of the cross;
- (3) The players who are still in the game have the option to place a wager on the second run, which is determined by the second hand, ranging from 1x to 3x the second ante bet;
- (4) Alternatively, the player can choose to fold and lose all base wagers. Once the players still in the game have made their decisions, the dealer reveals the two outer cards on the vertical line of the cross;

Alternatively, the player can choose to fold and lose all base wagers. Once every player has made their decision, the dealer reveals the center card on the cross;
