Casino Hold'Em

CASINO HOLD'EM SCREENSHOT

Casino Hold'Em Poker uses the model of Texas Hold'Em Poker but allows the player to play against the casino. This game involves a certain degree of skill and decision making which in turn makes the game tricky and exciting.

In this variant, you are dealt two cards and the dealer is dealt two cards. Next, three community cards (the "Flop") are dealt face-up. Fold and surrender or Continue and see the next two community cards. Best poker rank wins!

Playing

Betting: click on chips to select them. Then click the AA and Ante circles on the table to place your bets. Every click enlarges your bet by the chip value, and every right-click decreases the bet. You can also click Clear Bets to remove all bets from the table and start over.
Deal: after you have placed your bets, click the Deal button to deal the cards. Both you and the dealer will be given 2 cards (the dealer's are face down), and 3 cards will be dealt to the flop. If your 5 cards make up a Poker hand, the type of the hand will be displayed on the screen. If you have a pair of Aces or better, you have won the AA side bet. It’s simple!
Call or Fold: further, you have two alternatives. If you are pleased with your hand, you can choose to Call and continue playing against the dealer. On the other hand, if you consider that your chances of wining are low, you can Fold and lose your bets. If you Call, you will have to place double your original Ante bet in the Call circle.

Nota Bene: you must Call to collect your AA side bet winnings! If you don't, you will lose your AA bet even if you have a valid hand.
The Flop: after you have chosen to Call, the last two cards are dealt to the flop. The dealer turns his cards face up, and the best possible hand is formed for each of you.
Winning or Losing: if your hand is better than the dealer's, you win and your Ante and Call bets are returned to you along with your winnings. If not, you lose your bets.
New Game: if you want to play another round, press New Game. Then place your bets as described above and click the Deal button, or click Rebet to place the same bets as in the previous round.

Hand ranking

At every step of the game round, the best hands obtainable are formed automatically.
The dealer has to have at least a pair of 4s to qualify. If not, your Call Bet is returned and the Ante Bet pays according to the paytable.
If the dealer qualifies and you win, your Ante Bet pays according to the paytable and your Call Bet pays even money:
- if you and the dealer have equivalent hands, the highest card out of the remaining ones available to each of you determines the winner.
- If you and the dealer have hands of the same type, the one that includes the highest-value card wins (for example Three Kings beats Three Queens).
- The Ace is a semi-wildcard. It can be the highest-value card in a straight of A, K, Q, J, 10, or the lowest-value card in a straight of 5, 4, 3, 2, A.
