You play against the dealer not against the players!!! I play it as if I was playing a "real" game. It's worth to play the "bonus" wager cause any low pair pays 3-1. A + FACE card pay more.
You must play the ANTE. If you want to see the FLOP that is DOUBLE your ANTE. to see the TURN & RIVER cards 1/2 of FLOP wager.

I've played it 3x and I'm 2-1. NO MORE FOR ME !!! lol
