I am a goyem, i have no idea, but my son and i are learning.
If you get GIMEL and everyone is supposed to add a coin to the pot, is the winner immune to that order?
Also, if there are 3 coins and you get HAY, how many should you take?

"Nun" means 'nisht' or nothing. You win nothing, you lose nothing.
"Gimel" means 'gantz' or whole. You take the whole kitty, leaving 1 object, while everyone else puts in 1 object.
"Hay" means 'halb' or half. You win half of what's in the kitty plus one if there is an odd number.
"Shin" (or in Israel - "Pay") means 'shtel' or put in. You lose, and must put one object into the kitty.
Leaving a coin in the pot on a Gimel is a means of anteing again for the next round.
