|
|
Casino Holdem Poker is a casino game based on the popular poker game Texas Holdem. In casino holdem you play against the casino instead of the other players.
To start the game all players have to make a first wager, the ante. The dealer then deals two pocket cards face down to each player and to himself. He also deals three face up community cards, the flop. After the flop the player have to decide if he shall fold and lose his ante or if he shall continue to play and make a call bet of twice the size of the ante. The dealer will then deal two more community cards and turn up his hand. The player and the dealer hand shall be scored according the highest poker value of the player's two cards and the five community cards. The dealer must have at least a pair of fours to qualify. If the dealer does not qualify then the ante will pay according to the ante pay table and the call bet is paid back to the player. If the dealer qualifies and beats the player, the player will lose both his ante and call bet. If the dealer qualifies and the player beats the dealer the call bat will pay 1:1 and the ante according to the ante pay table. If the dealer qualifies and has the same hand as the player both the ante bet and the call bet will be paid back to the player.
