How Beef works

Place a bet. Press deal. Two cards are drawn from a fresh deck, one to you, one to the dealer. Higher card pays 1.97× stake; lower card loses; tie returns the stake (push). Suits don't matter; pure rank comparison Ace high.

Strategy & bankroll

Beef has no in-round decisions, no skill component. The only thing in your control is bet size and stop-loss. The format suits players who want fast volume to clear VIP wagering or run a precise stop-loss / stop-profit script, auto mode handles thousands of rounds an hour without manual input.

Verifying a Beef round

The two drawn cards are positions 1 and 2 of a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the 52-card deck, derived from the seed pair + nonce. Reproduce the shuffle and confirm the same two cards came up in the same order.

FAQ snapshot

Why does Beef have a higher edge than Castle Roulette?

The 0.8% edge funds tied-hand pushes (~7.7% of hands) and the cost of the always-instant payout. Castle Roulette monetises through volume tilt instead.

Are suits used?

No, only the rank (Ace high through 2 low). Hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds are visual only.

Can I see how often the dealer draws an Ace?

1 in 13 hands, exactly. The deck is reshuffled every round, so streaks have no predictive value.

Is auto-play allowed?

Yes. Auto mode runs at the speed limit (~6 hands/second) with stop-on-profit, stop-on-loss and bet-progression rules.
