Golf Solitaire Game Rules

Challenging and addictive Solitaire variation.

High degree of strategy - a true Thinking Player's game

Called Golf Solitaire because there is a par (expected) score for the game. Score at par, your stake is returned (1-for-1 payout). Score under par (better than expected) to win a 2-for-1 payout.

We've added an exclusive Progressive Bonus round to reward exceptional play.

We also offer an optional 9 - Level Bet Ladder. If you climb the ladder to Level 9 you can increase your payout up to 512x your original bet - that could be as much as $51,200.00!

Golf Solitaire Progressive Bonus Round:

Part of each Level 1 bet contributes to the Bonus pool.

Pool keeps growing until somebody wins.

To qualify for bonus, must move all cards off of Tableau and have a minimum number of cards remaining in Stock Pile.

Percentage of Bonus paid is based on Bet Selection setting and number of Stock Cards remaining.

Bonus payouts are paid directly to your account balance. They are not reflected in the Win or Stake displays and are not involved in any Re-Bet or roll-up to the next level.

Golf Solitaire 9-Level Bet Ladder:

Game starts at Level 1 with initial bet determined by Bet Selection setting.

Score Under Par and you have the option to keep your winnings or stake them at Next Level for another double-or-nothing game

There are 9 Levels, so you can stake your winnings up to 8 times in succession. At double-or-nothing each time, you can multiply your initial Level 1 bet up to 512 times.

Each Level has the same degree of difficulty and same probabilities, so the game doesn't get harder but the payouts get bigger.
