Fair play in Zha Jin Hua, without exploitation
New deals lock an encrypted deck and roster, then mix player seeds through commitment and reveal. After the hand, its history verifies the shuffle and permitted card openings against this device's commitment and seed records. Secret seeds are never published and unshown cards stay encrypted; without local records the proof establishes self-consistency only. The server still knows the cards. Verification does not exclude operator aborts or independently prove settlement. Older hands are not given retrospective proofs.
Fair play without exploitation: funded by memberships, not player losses. No manufactured hands or advantages for sale. Membership never changes the deal, rules, or outcome. No real-money play.
See fairness mechanisms and verification scope →Learn the basics. Then take a seat.
- 01
Ante and receive three cards. Bet blind or look at your own cards.
- 02
Call at one stake while blind or two after looking. Raising increases the stake.
- 03
From round two, pay twice your current call price to compare with another player (at a stake of 10: 20 blind, 40 after looking); the challenger loses ties. Heads-up without enough chips to call, in any round including the first, go all in and compare at once. Remaining players show down after the room’s round limit (3 by default; the host can set 1–10).
Zha Jin Hua · Rules and scoring
These are the rules used by BluffKing. Regional variants can differ; check the game settings before playing.
How results are settled
Practice chips settle through each hand’s pot. Calling, raising, looking and comparing follow the room rules. The final winner receives the pot; hand rankings and comparison rules are below.
Playing rules
- Everyone antes and gets 3 cards. Bet blind or look at your cards any time.
- Calling costs 1× the stake while blind and 2× after looking. Looking at your own cards is free at any time. Raising lifts the stake.
- From round 2, on your turn, pay 2× your current call price to compare with any remaining opponent. At a stake of 10, comparing costs 20 blind or 40 after looking. The loser is out; ties lose for the challenger.
- All-in compare: only heads-up when you cannot afford even a call, pay your remaining chips to compare on your turn, in any round including round 1. If you can afford a call but not an ordinary compare, all-in is unavailable.
- Auto-showdown defaults to 3 full rounds; the host can set 1–10 when creating the room. Everyone left then shows down and the best hand takes the pot. A 1-round room never opens ordinary comparing.
- Ranks: Leopard > Straight flush > Flush > Straight > Pair > High card. Straights and straight flushes both rank A23 < 234 < 345 < … < QKA.
- Off-suit 2-3-5 beats a Leopard but loses to everything else.
- ZJH chips are free practice chips on their own ledger. They cannot be bought or cashed out.
Hand types, strongest first
- Leopard
- Three cards of the same rank.
- Straight flush
- Three consecutive cards of one suit. A-2-3 is lowest and Q-K-A highest, just like a straight.
- Flush
- Three cards of one suit that are not consecutive.
- Straight
- Three consecutive cards of mixed suits. A-2-3 is the lowest, Q-K-A the highest; K-A-2 is not a straight.
- Pair
- Two cards of the same rank plus one odd card.
- High card
- None of the above; compare the highest card first.

Three of a kind > straight flush > flush > straight > pair > high card; A-2-3 is the lowest straight. In head-to-head comparisons, off-suit 2-3-5 beats three of a kind and otherwise compares as a high-card hand; suited 2-3-5 is a flush. If a multi-way forced showdown produces a cycle between 2-3-5, three of a kind and another hand, ordinary hand rankings determine the winner. These are BluffKing’s rules, not every regional variant.
No. Zha Jin Hua uses free practice chips on a separate ledger. They cannot be bought or redeemed.
With a current stake of 10, a blind player calls for 10 and a player who has looked calls for 20. A raise increases the stake for later calls; the ante and current stake are different amounts.
