Hi-Lo Card Game Explained

Casino game guidesHi-Lo card

Hi-Lo is a simple card game of guessing whether the next card is higher or lower. This guide explains the casino version. For the crypto version, see HiLo game. Payouts are shown in the game.

Key takeaways
  • A card is shown and you bet on whether the next card will be higher or lower.
  • By the current card.
  • It is mainly chance, since the card order is random, with simple higher-or-lower decisions.

How it works

A card is shown and you bet on whether the next card will be higher or lower. A correct guess pays according to how likely it was.

Odds depend on the card

The current card sets the odds for each choice.

Example. If the shown card is high, 'lower' is likely and pays little, while 'higher' is unlikely and pays more.

Streaks

Some versions let you continue guessing on a streak for a rising multiplier, with the choice to bank or risk it — similar to the crypto HiLo game.

A game of chance

The card order is random, so it is a game of chance with simple decisions. Set a budget and use responsible gambling tools.
