Sekka is an interesting card game that, although not as popular worldwide as poker or blackjack, has its fans. Like all gambling games, the main thing in this game is excitement.

I have been playing this game since I was in school. I have won a lot of money playing this game. My friends and I played it literally all day long, and there was a period when this game allowed me to pay my bills. Here are the rules:

It is played with a deck of 36 or 32 cards. Two to ten people can participate, and the goal is to score the most points.

The values of the cards in the game are as follows:

Ace = 11 points.
Jack, Queen, King, Ten = 10 points.
Other cards = their face value.
Players place a pre-agreed amount in the pot before the cards are dealt. After that, they can look at their cards and decide whether to continue playing or fold.

My question is, have you played anything similar to this game, and if so, it would be interesting to hear what the rules were or how they differed.

I haven't ever heard of this game @black and . Is the money in the pot all that can be won? Or are there other rounds of betting? What happens if there is a tie?

I hear about the game, and I played more than 5 years for real money.
Very interesiting game with a lot of fun, and good players.
It's more interesiting than blackjack, then Poker never.
Many peoples from Russia, Ukraine, and SNG should knowns the game.
Sincerly many years didnt saw anyone to play again the game.

This game sounds interesting! In which online casino is it actually available? Never heard of it or saw it anywhere unfortunately.

Well, if the part you described is all that happens, it seems boring to me. It's not as dynamic as Poker. That's probably why almost no one plays it these days.

Never heard of it either.
Is it a casino game though? Or are there any casinos offering it?
And like Nabmom, I'm wondering if there's any more action when some players decide to stay in!

@najisami, @nabmom, I will try to explain, although it is quite difficult.
Players place a predetermined amount in the bank before the cards are dealt. After that, they can individually look at their cards and decide whether to continue playing or fold. If you decide to fold, you lose your bet, similar to an ante.
Each player has the right to take their turn, and, as in poker, each player has their own turn to speak. So, each player takes turns announcing their decision, with some betting and others folding. Depending on their position, one of the players who has bet may take turns checking with an opponent who has also bet. By call, I mean looking at the opponent's cards and determining who has the better hand. Then the player who looks at the cards either folds if their hand is weaker, or the opponent folds.
The other players in the game, i.e., those who have bet, do not see the cards of the two opponents who are calling. Next, one of the two opponents folds. The next step is the same: the player in position can check one of the remaining players. If only two players remain, they check openly.
Sorry, it's quite difficult to explain, but I'll try. Maybe I'll be able to find a video tutorial. If I find one, I'll post it.

You are right, really difficult to understand.
Please try to post a video if you find one.
