Casino Hold'em Description
Casino
Hold’em is
a variation of the popular poker game Texas
Hold’em. Both games are easy to learn
and offer the rewards of a side bet. Casino
Hold’em differs from Texas Hold’em
in that you play against the house rather than
against other players.
The
object of the game is to beat the dealer’s
hand by getting the best possible five-card
hand out of the two cards you are dealt and
five community cards. If you beat the dealer,
you win! To add to the excitement, you can
also place a side bet, which pays out if
a pair of aces or higher is dealt in the
first five cards.
To
help you with the game, Casino Hold’em
displays messages when you have the option
of side bets or when you are about to fold
a paying hand. You can use the Options menu
to turn these messages on or off.

circle until the number of chips displayed

Hold’em Rules
Casino
Hold’em is
a five-card poker game using a single 52-card
deck. To win, you must beat the dealer by getting
a higher five-card hand. You and the dealer
can both use community cards to complete a
hand.
Play begins when you
place an initial bet, the ante bet. You may
also place an optional AA+ bet. You win this
bet if a pair of aces or higher is dealt in
the first five cards.
After you place the ante,
two cards are dealt to you face up, two cards
are dealt to the dealer face down, and three
flop cards are dealt on the table. At this
point, you evaluate your hand to decide if
you want to continue. If you fold, you forfeit
your ante and any AA+ winnings you qualify
for. If you call, your call bet is placed at
double the ante.
If
you call, the last two community cards are
dealt and the dealer’s
cards are shown. The dealer must have a pair
of 4s or higher to qualify. If the dealer’s
hand does not qualify, you win, the ante bet
is paid out according to the pay table , and
the call bet pushes.
If
the dealer’s
hand qualifies, it is compared to your hand
. If the dealer's hand is lower, you are paid
out according to the ante pay table and the
call bet pays 1:1. If the dealer's hand is
higher, you lose both your ante and your call
bets. Even if you lose against the dealer,
you still receive AA+ winnings that you qualify
for, paid out according to the AA+ pay table
.
When you and the dealer
tie, the next highest card that is not part
of the paying hand, known as the kicker, determines
the winner.
- Dealer has Q/4
- Player has Q/3
- Community cards are
9/9/Q/5/2
The play pushes because
the dealer and player both have Two Pairs (a
pair of queens and a pair of 9s) and the next
highest card, the 5, is in the community cards,
acting as the kicker. Neither the dealer nor
the player has a high enough card to beat the
kicker.
If the player had
a Q/7, then the 7 card would be the kicker
and the player would win.
