Casino Hold'em
Introduction
Casino Hold'em is a live casino game played with a standard 52-card deck. It's a version of the classic Texas Hold'em, one of the world's most popular poker games, where you play directly against the house.
The goal of Casino Hold'em is to get a better five-card poker hand than the dealer. You have to form your hand with two hole cards (face cards) and five community cards.
How to play
To play, select your Ante bet value and when the timer starts, place it at the Ante bet point.
Your total bet is shown in the Total Bet field.
When time runs out, the dealer will deal two cards face up to you and two cards face down to their hand. Then, they will deal three community cards face up (the flop). These three cards are common, and both you and the dealer can use them to form your hands.
The decision time then begins, and you must decide whether to continue with your hand or stand. If you choose to PLAY, the round continues, and a Play bet, worth double your Ante bet, is automatically placed at the Play betting spot. If you choose to STAND, the round ends, and you lose your Ante bet.
Side bets are not affected by your decision to PLAY or STAND.
Once you've made a decision, the dealer deals two more community cards (the turn and the river) and reveals their cards face down. The best possible five-card poker hand is then formed.
Your five-card poker hand is compared to the dealer's hand. You win if your hand is better than the dealer's and receive a payout as stipulated in the payout table. In addition, your initial bet is returned.
Side bets
Side bets are checked only with the first five cards dealt (your two hole cards and the three cards that make up the flop).
AA+
The Pair of Aces bet is a side bet that can only be made if you have also bet on the ANTE bet.
If you have a pair of aces or better, you win the Pair of Aces bet and will be paid according to the AA+ payout table.
Your bet must cover the Pair of Aces betting point to be eligible for the prize.
Bet on JACKPOT
The JACKPOT bet is an optional side bet. To bet on the JACKPOT, you must first place an ANTE bet.
You win if your initial five-card hand (which includes your two hole cards and the flop cards) forms any of the following combinations:
- Color ladder
- Poker
- Ladder
Your bet must cover the JACKPOT betting point to be eligible for the prize.
Winning hands
The individual cards are ranked in descending order: ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.
The ace can be the highest card in a straight of ace, king, queen, jack and ten, or the lowest card in a straight of 5, 4, 3, 2 and ace.
The poker hands, ordered from highest to lowest payout, are as follows:
Royal flush is a straight flush formed by the combination of ace, king, queen, jack and ten, all of the same suit.

Game result
The outcome of the game is determined by comparing your best five-card hand with the dealer's. Each hand consists of any combination of each player's two hole cards and the five community cards.
The dealer qualifies with a pair of fours or better. If the dealer doesn't qualify, your winnings will be lower, but you still receive a payout regardless of the hand's outcome.
