Each question corresponds to one of the fifty two playing cards (plus the jokers) in a normal deck.

This is a fastest finger first quiz. The winner of the first question (on general knowledge) will receive the 5 ♥ and win the right to choose the card and subject for the following question.

No penalty is levied for an incorrect answer, but if nobody is correct the card is automatically awarded to the late Stu Ungar.


JOKERS

Jokers are the most powerful cards in the Chit Chat Caesars Palace Quiz. They are wild. Recipients of jokers may use them in the end game as any other card in the deck to improve their hand.

Joker questions will be General Knowledge.

No player can hold both Jokers in their hand. If the winner of the first joker is first in with the correct answer to the second Joker the card is awarded to Stu Ungar.


TEA BREAKS c[_]

There will be tea breaks after each tenth card has been dealt.


THE END GAME

Once all fifty four questions have been asked the player with the best five card poker hand is declared the winner.

If a player does not have five cards in their hand blanks are issued to make up the number. A player holding only A ♥ 3 ♣ and K ♦ for example, is issued with two blanks and declares Ace High as his final hand.

The game will end early should any player hold a hand of Four of a Kind Jacks or better.

GENERAL RULES OF THE GAME

Surnames are acceptable unless a full name has been requested in the question.

Abbreviations are entered at the quizzer's own risk; some are acceptable and some are not. Villa instead of Aston Villa, for example, would be permissable. KD instead of Kentucky Derby would not. As a general rule of thumb: if you're unsure if the abbreviation will be acceptable, it probably isn't.
