Online Casino Holdem is a variation of five-card poker. You are dealt two cards, and you must use them along with the five-card flop to make the best possible poker hand.
The AA side bet is optional. Here, you bet on whether the first five cards dealt (your two cards plus the first three flop cards) will include a pair of Aces or better.
The best possible hand is formed for you automatically.
To Play the Online Casino Holdem Game:
- Click on chips to select them. Then click the AA and Ante circles on the table to place your bets. Every click increases 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.
- Click the Deal button.
- Both you and the dealer will be given two cards (the dealer's are face down), and three cards will be dealt to the flop.
- If the cards you see make up a Poker hand, the type of the hand is displayed to you. If you have a pair of Aces or better, you have won the AA side bet
- You can now choose to Call and continue playing against the dealer, or Fold and lose your bets. If you call, you will have to place double your original Ante bet in the Call circle. Please note: if you do not have sufficient balance to place the Call bet, you can either fold or go to the Cashier and deposit some more money.
- Please note: 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 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.
- 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.
- 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 stage of the game round, the best hands available 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 equal 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 (i.e. Three Kings beats Three Queens; a flush of A, 6, 5, 4, 3 beats a flush of K, J, 10, 8, 7).
- 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.
