Tiles is Alliance of Heroes own version of Texas Hold'em poker. There are several places that have Tile Tables, mainly the Gaming Hall in the North West Quad of Athens, and the Nero Casino in the Roman Agora near Delphi.
When you choose the table you want, READ the SIGN to have a look at the rules, as well as the payouts and the three highest payouts that table has made.
Once you have an understanding of how the game is played SIT down at the TABLE and the dealer will begin the round. When the betting begins you will need to BET an amount of dinars, that is a multiple of three. 3-6-9 and so on. Once the betting round is over the actual game begins. The dealer will deal out three tiles one at a time to each of the players. To see which tiles you have you will need to LOOK at TILES.
At this point after the everyones tiles have been dealt out. The dealer will ask each player what they want to do. If things are looking good, and you believe you have a chance of winning you can TAP your TILES to ride this round out. Or if you think you are more likely to lose, you can PULL your TILES to get back 1/3 of your bet. The dealer will then deal out the first of the house tiles. To see what the house tile is, you can LOOK at HOUSE TILE. You'll get another chance to have 1/3 of your bet returned to you now if you decide. The dealer will deal the final tile and the round will end and the payout will begin… Or not.
The payout is all dependant on what combination of tiles you have, like normal poker. The payout is as follows:
High Pair - Having two of the same tiles that is higher than 10. The payout is 1 to 1.
Two Pair - This is two pair of any tiles. This pays out 2 to 1.
Three of a Kind - This is three of any of the same tile and pays out 3 to 1.
Straight - A straight is a sequence cards in order (ie 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). This pays out 5 to 1.
Full Temple - This is three of a kind and a pair in one hand and pays out 11 to 1.
Four of a Kind - This is four of the same cards, and pays out 50 to 1.
Straight Flush - This is a straight and flush mixed together… cards in a sequence and all the same color. This pays out at 200 to 1.
