The Game will move forward only when all the other Players on the table have placed the bet. Each Player is required to either match or raise the bet, otherwise the Player is be required to fold and lose the particular round of the Game
  15. For other Games such as Rummy, Trivia or Carrom in the Cash Contests the Player Stack will be represented as points. In addition to the rules of the Game, you should note that:
    1. The Contests will be played out as a ‘race to zero’, meaning, the objective in each of such Contests will be to reduce the value of the Player Stack to zero. This can be achieved by making valid sets or sequences, answering questions correctly or potting the coins, in accordance with the rules of the Game.
    2. The Winner will be the first player on the table to reach 0 (zero), the winnings are calculated as the value of the total points on the table multiplied with the loss of value in the Player Stack of all other Players on the table, subject to deductions as per WinPkr Policies. By way of illustration:

    For example, in a 4 player Trivia contest with 1 point = Rs. 0.1 conversion, the players’ scores after 4 questions are:

    Player A: 0 points,

    Player B: 10 points,

    Player C: 20 points,

    Player D: 40 points.

    At this point, as Player A has reached 0 score, the round would end and winnings will be distributed based on the point to INR conversion. Each player’s winnings and loses will be following manner,

    Player A: wins Rs.7*(1-Rake)

    Player B: loses Rs.1 (10points x Rs.0.1)

    Player C: loses Rs.2 (20points x Rs.0.1)

    Player D: loses Rs.4 (40points x Rs.0.1)

    2. To help you understand better, if you use a pass of maximum value of 10 (ten) and pass fee of 25% (twenty five percent) and you join a 10 (ten) Gem contest of maximum 2 (two) players.

      Total game pool – 10 + 10 = 20
