How to Play
Place your bets, and the dealer draws one card, followed by two cards dealt to the player.
The player’s hand value is calculated by subtracting the dealer’s card value from the combined value of the player’s two cards.
Bet on Over Seven or Under Seven, with the optional Progressive Seven side bet — unlocking the chance to win one of two progressive jackpots.
Winnings
A winning hand is when your final total is either over or under seven, depending on your bet. Additional payouts are available through Seven, and Safe Seven, Splitting Pairs, and Progressive Jackpots — one suited and one non-suited.

Gameplay
Draw Sevens can be played one-on-one (player vs. dealer) or in multiplayer mode with up to five players against the dealer. Each player wagers individually against the house — your hand is unaffected by others' hands, except when multiple players win on the Progressive 7 bet, in which case the jackpot is shared.
Seven — The player holds cards of the same suit (hearts, diamonds, spades, or clubs). If the dealer draws a card of the same suit, and the difference between the player’s total and the dealer’s card is 7, it’s a winning hand.
Safe Seven — The player holds two cards of the same suit (hearts, diamonds, spades, or clubs) that total 7.
Progressive Jackpot — Active only when the Progressive 7 side bet is placed.
- Major Jackpot: Three suited 7s
- Minor Jackpot: Three non-suited 7s
Only the highest win per hand applies.
Splitting Pairs
Two cards of equal value may be split into separate hands. When splitting, an additional bet equal to the original is placed, and one card is dealt to each new hand. Re-splitting is not allowed.
Negative — If your hand’s total value is negative, you receive one free card and an additional chance at a winning outcome on your Under 7 bet.
