Higher or Lower on Arcadia
Higher or Lower is a thrilling card guessing game where you predict whether the next card will be higher or lower than the current one. Build winning streaks to increase your multiplier and win big!
The game uses a standard 52-card deck. Cards are ranked from 2 (lowest) to Ace (highest).
How to Play
- Place your bet using the +/- buttons ($1-$100)
- Press DEAL to start the round
- A face-up card will be shown
- Guess HIGHER if you think the next card is higher
- Guess LOWER if you think the next card is lower
- Guess SAME for an exact match (12x bonus!)
- Cash Out anytime to secure your winnings
- Wrong guess = Game Over!
Core Rules
- Correct guess: Your multiplier increases based on streak
- Same value (Push): Draw again, streak continues
- Wrong guess: Game over, lose your bet
- Ace is high (value 14)
- Deck reshuffles when running low on cards
- Minimum bet: $1 | Maximum bet: $100
Strategy Tips
- Early cash out: Safer strategy with smaller but consistent wins
- Push mechanics: When you get a tie, you stay in with the same streak
- Watch the trend: Track recent cards to gauge deck temperature
- Same is rare: Only 1 in 13 cards matches exactly — 12x is tempting but risky!
- Auto-cashout: Set a multiplier target to automatically lock in wins
Tips for Success
- Start conservative and increase bets during winning streaks
- The "Same" option is high-risk, high-reward
- Watch the Cards left and Trend indicators for deck info
- Use Auto-cashout to prevent greedy losses
- Bonus Mode at 5+ streak doubles all future multipliers

FAQ
What is the minimum and maximum bet?
The minimum bet is $1.00 and the maximum bet is $100.00 per round.
How does the multiplier work?
Multipliers increase with each correct guess: 1x → 1.5x → 2x → 3x → 4x → 6x → 10x → 15x → 25x → 50x → 100x based on streak length.
What happens if cards are equal?
If the next card has the same value as the current card, it's a "Push" — you draw again and your streak continues without penalty.
How does Bonus Mode work?
At 5+ streak, Bonus Mode activates and doubles all future multipliers until you cash out or lose!
Is "Same" a good bet?
"Same" pays 12x but only wins if the next card is exactly the same value (roughly 1 in 13 chance). High risk, high reward!
Can I auto-cashout?
Yes! Enable Auto-cashout and set your target multiplier. You'll automatically cash out when you reach it.
What is the deck trend indicator?
The trend shows if recent cards have been Hot (avg 9+, higher cards) or Cold (avg 6-, lower cards). Use this to inform your guesses!
What happens when I run out of cards?
When the deck runs low, it automatically reshuffles with a fresh 52-card deck, so you never run out!
