Guts is a nerve test against a growing pot: post your ante and the house seeds the pot with half an ante on top — then it's up to eight hands of two-card guts. Each hand your two cards are face up while the dealer's stay hidden. Stay out and one more ante goes into the pot. Go in and it's a showdown: a pair beats any high card, pairs race by rank, high cards by kicker, exact rank ties redeal free. Win the showdown and the whole pot is yours minus a 10% rake — lose and you match the pot, doubling it for the next hand. Hand 8 is forced in, win or bust. Optimal play returns 98.3% RTP. Provably fair, every hand of the session verifiable.
