THE BOOK IS ON EVERY BUTTON
Ace's Pyramid
Fifteen cards, one climb: every call prints its true chance and its fair price before you commit a chip.
How it plays
Fifteen cards, face down, in a pyramid. Ace turns the first card for free, and from then on every card is a call: higher or lower than the last one shown. Every call prints its true chance: the real count of cards left above and below.
A win pays the fair price less the house edge (up to 2% of what you risk; 1% at even odds), and a wrong call costs nine tenths of the bet, never all of it: the tenth stays in the pot. Every bank pays the pot less the house’s 7%. A pair pushes for free, and one swap a round is on the house.
Bank the pot before any call, any time. Reach the peak and the whole pot banks itself, priced exactly like every other call: arrive with twice your stake and Ace throws in a Gilt Wheel spin.

Questions
Is Ace's Pyramid a fair game?
Yes. Every call shows the real count of cards left above and below before you decide, and the house edge is up to 2% of what you risk; 1% at even odds, plus 7% of every bank. The house keeps 2% of your bet times your chance of losing that call (the payout is then rounded down to the hundredth, so never more than 2%), so a safe call costs less, and 7% of whatever you bank.
What happens if I call a pair?
The card pushes for free: nothing moves, the pair card is burned, and a fresh card turns for the same call.
Can a call ever be a guaranteed loss?
No. A call that cannot win, such as higher on an ace, is switched off rather than left on the board.
