One-Card Poker is often played with match pot betting, as in Guts. It is also possible to play that the lowest card wins (which makes no real difference to the game), or that the highest and lowest cards share the pot. If several players tie for highest they share the pot - there is no order of suits in this game. There is then a round of poker betting and in the showdown the highest card of those who have not folded wins the pot. The players pick up their cards, being careful to keep them facing outwards so that no one knows what their own card is, and hold them against their forehads so that all other players can see their values. In the most basic, and presumably the original version of this game, the players ante and are dealt just one card each, face down. The name comes from the notion that cards held to the players' heads somehow resemble a Native American headdress or war bonnet.

The game has nothing whatever to do with India. The name Indian Poker is used for several games with this feature, played with different numbers of cards and different betting systems. The basic idea of Indian Poker, also sometimes known as Blind Man's Buff, is that players hold their cards on their foreheads facing away from them, so that they can see all the other players' cards but not their own.
