If you enjoy non-stop action, you can join up to 4 different game tables simultaneously and view them all in the same browser window!
After you have joined at least one game table, click on LOBBY. In the lobby or game, click the +TABLE button associated with that table to join it. (Certain tables may be unavailable for multi-game play and will therefore not display a +TABLE button.)
After you have joined multiple tables, you will be able to resize your browser window as a whole, but you will not be able to resize each game table window separately.
You can exit any table without affecting your presence at other tables you have joined. To exit a table, click the X button.
Please note:
• You will exit a table automatically if you should join the same table through a different device/browser.
• If you click directly on a table icon instead of the +TABLE button, you will merely switch tables instead of joining the chosen table in addition to the table you joined previously.
We kindly advise you to join only as many tables as your screen can accommodate while still allowing you to place bets deliberately and accurately.
The CASHIER button will open the cashier/banking window for deposits and withdrawals.
Game Rules
The objective in ROULETTE is to predict the number on which the ball will land by placing one or more bets that cover that particular number. The wheel includes the numbers 1-36 plus a single 0 (zero).
After betting time has expired, the ball is spun within the Roulette wheel. The ball will eventually come to rest in one of the numbered pockets within the wheel. You win if you have placed a bet that covers that particular number.
La Partage rule gives half the money back on even chances bets when the ball lands on zero.
Bet Types
You can place many different kinds of bets on the Roulette table. Bets can cover a single number of a certain range of numbers, and each type of bet has its own payout rate.

Game Objective
The objective of BLACKJACK is to achieve a higher card count than the dealer, but without going over 21. The best hand is Blackjack – when the sum of values of the first two dealt cards is exactly 21. You compete only against the dealer, not against other players.
• Played with 8 decks.
• Dealer always stands on 17.
• Double Down on any 2 initial cards.
• Split initial cards of equal value.
• Only one Split per hand.
• Single card dealt to each Split Ace.
• No Double Down after Split.
• Insurance offered when dealer shows an Ace.
• Blackjack pays 3 to 2.
• Insurance pays 2 to 1.
• Push game when hands tie.
Game Rules
The game is hosted by a dealer and allows up to 7 players seated at the Blackjack table.
The game is played with 8 standard 52-card decks. Card values in Blackjack are as follows:
• Cards from 2 to 10 are worth their face value.
• Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are each worth 10.
• Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is more favourable to the hand. Note that a soft hand includes and Ace worth 11.
After the allotted betting time has expired, the dealer deals one card face up to each player. Dealing starts with the first player to the dealer’s left and continues clockwise, ending with the dealer. The dealer then deals a second card face up to each player but the dealer's second card is dealt face down. The value of your initial hand is displayed next to your cards.
Blackjack
If the value of your original two-card hand is exactly 21, you have Blackjack!
Insurance
If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, you are given the option to purchase insurance to offset the risk that the dealer has Blackjack – even when you have Blackjack yourself. The amount of insurance is equal to one half of your main bet, and the insurance bet is settled separately from the bet on your hand. The dealer then peeks at the value of his/her downcard to check for Blackjack. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the round continues. If the dealer has Blackjack, but you do not, the dealer’s hand wins. If you and the dealer both have Blackjack, the game ends in a push and your bet is returned. Note that when the dealer’s upcard is a 10 or face card, you will not be given the option to purchase insurance, and the dealer will not peak at his downcard to check for Blackjack.
Double Down, Hit or Stand
When the dealer does not have Blackjack upon checking his/her two initial cards, players are given the chance to improve the values of their hands in turn. To enable this the dealer moves clockwise around the table offering to deal further cards to players' hands.
If the value of your initial hand is not 21, you can decide to Double Down. In this case, you will double your bet and be dealt only one additional card to add to your hand. Alternatively, you can decide to Hit to be dealt an additional card to add to the value of your hand. You can Hit more than once to receive additional cards before you decide to Stand once you are satisfied with the value of your hand.
Split
If your initial hand is a pair of cards of equal value, you can decide to Split the pair to make two separate hands, each with a separate bet equal to your main bet. After a second card is dealt to both your hands, you can improve the value of these two hands by deciding to Hit. Again, you can choose to Stand once you are satisfied with the value of your two hands. However, if you Split an initial pair of Aces, you will receive only one additional card per hand with no option to Hit.
Outcome
If the sum of your hand exceeds 21, you are bust and lose your bet on that hand.
When all players have taken their turns, the dealer reveals the value of his/her downcard. The dealer must Hit on a hand of 16 or less and must Stand on a hand of soft 17 or more. (Remember that a 'soft hand' includes an Ace worth 11.)
You win when the value of your final hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand or when the dealer busts. If the value of your hand is the same as the dealer’s, the game round ends in a push and your bet is returned.
Blackjack beats a hand of 21 consisting of three or more cards. Blackjack also beats a hand of 21 resulting from a split pair.
Side Bets
This Blackjack game also includes optional side bets – Perfect Pairs and 21+3. You may place side bets in combination with your main Blackjack bet. You have the chance to win on any side bet whether you later win or lose on your Blackjack bet.
Perfect Pairs
The Perfect Pairs side bet gives you the chance to win if your first two cards comprise any pair – for example, two Queens, two Aces or two 3s. There are three types of pairs, each with a different payout:
• Perfect Pairs – same suit, e.g. two Aces of Spades.
• Coloured Pair – different suits of the same colour, e.g. 2 of Diamonds + 2 of Hearts.
• Mixed Pair – different suits of a different colour, e.g. 10 of Hearts + 10 of Clubs.
21+3
The 21+3 side bet gives you the chance to win if your first two cards plus the dealer’s upcard comprise any of the following winning combinations (similar to those in poker), each with a different payout:
• Suited Trips – an identical triplet, e.g. 3 Queens of Hearts.
• Straight Flush – in numerical sequence and same suit, e.g. 10, Jack and Queen of Diamonds.
• Three of a Kind – same value but different suits, e.g. any 3 non-matching Kings.
• Straight – in numerical sequence but different suits, e.g. 2 of Spades + 3 of Clubs + 4 of Hearts.
• Flush – non-sequential cards in the same suit, e.g. 2, 6 and 10 of Clubs.
Bet Behind
The Bet Behind feature allows you to bet on a hand dealt to another player. You will share the outcome of the other player’s hand. The payouts for Bet Behind wagers are the same as for ordinary bets.
You can place a Bet Behind bet whether or not you are seated at the Blackjack table and intend to play your own hand. However, you cannot place a Bet Behind bet on your own hand.
Place a bet in any activated Bet Behind spot at another player’s seat while betting is open. Hover your cursor over any Bet Behind spot to view the total number of players who have placed a Bet Behind bet, including the sum of their combined wagers.
If you place a Bet Behind bet, and the player at that seat decides not to participate in the round, your bet will be refunded immediately.
The nickname displayed at each seat at the Blackjack table identifies the player who will make all decisions for that hand. You can, however, decide whether or not to place an insurance bet when the dealer’s upcard is an Ace. You can also decide in advance whether or not to double your bet when the player you are betting behind opts to Double Down or Split.
You can later alter these settings by clicking/tapping the Settings button and then selecting the BET BEHIND tab. You may also untick ALLOW OTHER PLAYERS TO BET BEHIND ME if you wish to prohibit other players from betting behind you.
The Hot Players icon helps you determine which of your fellow Blackjack players is on the longest winning streak.
The number within the gold medal indicates the number of consecutive rounds that player has won. Note that as soon as a Hot Player loses a round, he or she will also lose the gold-medal icon.
Payouts
• Blackjack pays 3:2.
• Winning hand pays 1:1.
• If the dealer has Blackjack, insurance pays 2:1.

Make Decision
As soon as you receive your first two cards, you can make an initial decision regarding your hand - even before the dealer reaches you in turn. The decision options (e.g. Hit, Stand, Double Down, Split) will be displayed at your seat, and only those options currently available to you will be enabled.
When it is your turn, the dealer will act upon the initial decision you have made. If you have not already made a decision prior to your turn, the decision-making window will appear in the centre of your screen. The traffic light will inform you of the time remaining for you to make a decision.
The decision options are represented as follows:
• HIT: Green button with the “+” sign.
• STAND: Red button with the “-” sign.
• DOUBLE DOWN: Yellow button with the “x2” sign.
• SPLIT: Blue button with the opposing arrows.
If you do not make a decision before the time expires, your lack of response will be interpreted as a desire to Stand on your current hand.
Object of the Game
Two hands are dealt in Baccarat - The Banker's hand and the Player's hand. Prior to each deal, the player wagers on whether the Player's hand or the Banker's hand will be closest to a total of 9. The player also has the option to wager on a tie (i.e. both the banker's and player's hands total the same). 8 decks of 52 cards are used.
Betting
Select the amount you would like to wager on a given hand by clicking the left mouse button on a chip and left clicking on the "Player", "Banker" or "Tie" sections of the gaming table. Each click on the betspot position will add another chip to the bet.
REPEAT: If you bet in the previous game round, you can click the REPEAT button to automatically place the same bets in this round. (providing you have a sufficient cash balance)
DOUBLE: If the REPEAT button has been selected, the player is given the option to automatically double the stake placed.
UNDO: Selecting the UNDO button will remove your bet chips one by one from the game table in the reverse order of their placement. Click UNDO once to remove the last chip placed, or several times to keep removing the bets that have been placed.
If you place a wager that is lower than the minimum table bet limit, you will receive a pop up message when the betting period is over and your bet will be rejected.
If you place a bet that is higher than the maximum table limit, a tooltip will appear reminding you of the maximum bet limit and you will not be able to place that bet.
Gameplay
After the betting time period has expired, the Player and Banker are dealt two cards.
Example: Hand + Hand = Total
9+7 = 16 = 6
5+5+5 = 15 = 5
10+9 = 19 = "Natural" 9
After the first two cards are dealt to both the Player and Banker, the "Third Card Rule" (See Below) will determine if a 3rd card is to be dealt. No hand receives more than three cards.
When the Player and Banker hands equal the same total, the hand is declared a Tie and all bets (other than Tie bets) for that game are voided. If the value of the cards in either the Player's Hand or the Banker's Hand is an 8 or a 9 (a "natural") after receiving their initial two cards, then no more cards shall be dealt to either hand.
If the value of the cards in either hand on the first two cards is 0 to 7 inclusive, the hands shall draw in accordance with the "Third Card Rules".
Third Card Rules:
For the Player's Hand to Draw
If the Player's hand stands on two cards (6,7), then a two card Banker hand totalling 3,4,5 must draw and a Banker hand totalling 6 must stand.
Payoffs Wager and Result Payoff
• A winning Player hand wager 1 to 1
• A winning Banker hand wager 0.95 to 1
• A winning Tie wager 8 to 1
If you have selected to play at a "pairs" table, you have two additional betting options. You can bet on either the Player's or Banker's 1st 2 cards being a pair. The payoff for either bet is 11 to 1.
The Score
The SCORE TABLE board shows your scores. (Only available in the 3D view)
Big Road, Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Road are straight score cards. In general, straight score cards allow you to see baccarat streaks and baccarat trends for either the player or the banker. Wins of the same side and ties are shown in one column. Whenever the other side wins, a new column is started. Ties do not break a column because non-tie bets are returned to the player. So, if a tie occurs, you do not lose any money.
Each score card marks the game results using a different pattern. More specifically, the difference lies in the starting point and the results marked. Each player can choose his favourite score card. Signs on the score cards carry the following meanings:
• Red circle - the banker won that round.
• Blue circle - the player won that round.
• Green slash - the round ended in a tie.
The BET LIMITS sign shows you the table name and the minimum and maximum stakes permitted. Clicking on the sign will show a breakdown of these limits if applicable.
The Game Information Indicator TRAFFIC LIGHTS will inform you of the game status, when you bet, how much you have won, etc. At the top of this display are three lights; Green, Amber / Yellow and Red. These 'traffic lights' inform you when you can bet (GREEN LIGHT), when the betting time is nearly over (YELLOW LIGHT) and when the betting time has finished (RED LIGHT). You will find this indicator in all live games.
If you have a seat at the table then your name will be displayed beneath that seat. By clicking on a chip from the CHIP INDICATOR and then clicking on the seat position during the GREEN or YELLOW betting time (SEE GAME INFORMATION INDICATOR ABOVE) then that bet is made. Each time you click on that spot the bet will be increased by that amount. When you are satisfied that you have reached the stake you wish to bet, you need not do anything else, the bet will automatically be sent when the RED betting indicator is lit (i.e. bets are closed). During the GREEN or YELLOW betting time, your bets can be removed by repeatedly clicking the UNDO button. Once bets are closed (RED LIGHT) they cannot be cancelled.
At the bottom of the screen there is the black control toolbar. For more details see Tool Bar section.
The bottom of the screen:
The CASHIER button (if applicable) on the bottom left of the screen will pop up the cashier / banking screen for deposits and withdrawals.
The UNDO button, when clicked will remove the last bet placed. This will only happen during GREEN or YELLOW betting time. Once bets are closed (RED LIGHT) you will not be able to cancel bets. By repeatedly clicking the undo button, it will remove bets one by one in the order they were placed.
Game Rules
Ultimate Texas Hold'em is a variant of the popular Texas Hold'em poker. Ultimate Texas Hold'em differs from Texas Hold'em in that it is played against the house rather than against other players.
The aim of Ultimate Texas Hold'em is to beat the dealer's hand by getting the best possible five-card hand, made out of the two cards dealt to the player and five community cards.
An unlimited number of players can play simultaneously at one Ultimate Texas Hold'em table. Each player can take only one seat at the table.
Ultimate Texas Hold'em is played with one standard 52-card deck (jokers excluded). The deck is shuffled after every round.
At the beginning of the round, you place a bet in the ANTE spot. When your ANTE bet has been placed, a matching BLIND bet is automatically placed by the system.
The dealer deals two cards face up to you and two cards face down to the dealer. After a short pause, the dealer deals three community cards face up in the middle of the table (called the "Flop"). After a pause, the dealer deals two final community cards (called the "Turn" and the "River").
You and the dealer can use the cards in your hand and the community cards to comprise the best five-card hand.
During the pauses in the game, you can decide to PLAY or CHECK.
To find a winner, the best paying hands are formed and compared for you and for the dealer, using five out of seven available cards.
Side Bets
TRIPS BET
The TRIPS bet is an optional side bet that you can place before the round begins. You win on your TRIPS bet when your final five-card hand is three-of-a-kind or better.
The TRIPS bet is placed in the blinking TRIPS betting spot, after your ANTE has been accepted. You win on your TRIPS bet when your best hand is three-of-a-kind or better.
All bets must be placed before betting time expires. Once betting time has expired, the dealer will begin to deal. During the game round, you will be offered decisions, but these decisions will not affect the outcome of your TRIPS bet.
At the end of the round, the dealer turns all his/her cards face up and announces the result. Winning players also notified by an animation.
Winning Hands
The individual cards are ranked in descending order: Ace (high or low), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.
An Ace 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.
Possible hands from the highest payouts to the lowest:
• Royal Flush is a straight flush involving the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10 all in the same suit.
• Straight Flush is a hand that contains five cards in sequence, all of the same suit, for example: Nine, Eight, Seven, Six and Five, all Hearts.
• Four of a Kind is a hand that contains all four cards of one rank and any other card. For example, a four Aces in your hand would be Four of a Kind. Quads with higher ranking cards defeat lower ranking ones.
• Full House is a hand that contains three matching cards of one rank and two matching cards of another rank, e.g. three Kings and two Sixes. Between two full houses, the one with the higher ranking three cards wins.
• Flush is a hand where all five cards are of the same suit, but not in a sequence, e.g. five cards that are all Clubs. Two flushes are compared as if they were high card hands; the highest-ranking card of each is compared to determine the winner. If both hands have the same highest card, then the second-highest ranking card is compared, and so on until a difference is found.
• Straight is a hand that contains five cards of sequential rank in at least two different suits, e.g. Nine, Eight, Seven, Six and Five in two or more suits. Two straights are ranked by comparing the highest card of each. Two straights with the same high card are of equal value, as suits are not used to separate them.
• Three of a Kind is a hand that contains three cards of the same rank, plus two cards which are not of this rank or the same as each other. For example, a player having three Kings in their hand would have Three of a Kind. Higher-valued Three of a Kind defeat lower-valued Three of a Kind. If two hands contain Three of a Kind of the same value, the Kickers are compared to break the tie.
• Two Pairs is hand that contains two cards of the same rank, plus two cards of another rank (that match each other but not the first pair), plus any card not of either rank. An example of this would be having two Aces and two Kings. To rank two hands both containing Two Pairs, the higher-ranking pair of each is first compared, and the higher pair wins. If both hands have the same top pair, then the second pair of each is compared. If both hands have the same two pairs, the Kicker determines the winner.
• Pair is a hand that contains two cards of one rank (e.g. two Kings), plus three cards which are not of this rank or the same as each other. Pair is the lowest hand you can be paid out for. Higher ranking pairs defeat lower ranking pairs. If two hands have the same pair, the Kickers are compared in descending order to determine the winner.
• High Card is a poker hand made of any five cards not meeting any of the above requirements. Essentially, no hand is made, and the only thing of any meaning in the player's hand is their highest card.
Game Outcomes
The dealer must have a pair or better to qualify.
The dealer's hand is compared to your hand:
• If the dealer has a better hand, the ANTE, PLAY and BLIND bets and any side bets are lost.
• If the player has a better hand, the ANTE and PLAY bets pay 1:1, and the BLIND bet is settled based on BLIND payout rules.
• If you and the dealer tie, the ANTE, PLAY and BLIND bets are returned to you (“Push”).
If the dealer's hand does not qualify, the ANTE bet is returned to you (“Push”), and your hand is compared to the dealer’s hand to see if you are eligible to receive PLAY and BLIND payouts:
If your hand ranks higher than the dealer’s, your ANTE bet is returned to you (“Push”), and you receive PLAY and BLIND payouts according to payout tables.
If the dealer’s hand ranks higher than your hand, your ANTE bet is returned to you (“Push”), but you do not receive PLAY and BLIND payouts.
If your hand and the dealer’s hand are of the same rank, your ANTE, PLAY and BLIND bets are returned to you.
Q, J, 10, 9, 8 beats a flush of 10,
The TRIPS bet is settled after the dealer’s hand has been revealed. Your TRIPS payout is based on the rank of your best hand and the TRIPS payout table. The actual outcome of the game (whether you win or lose against the dealer) does not affect your TRIPS payout. You can win on your TRIPS bet whether or not you decide to PLAY or FOLD.

Winning Hands
Three Card Poker is played with one standard 52 card deck (Jokers are excluded). Cards are shuffled after each game round.
Three card Straight has a higher value ranking than a three card Flush in Three Card Poker. That's simply because there are fewer ways to make a three card Straight than a three card Flush.
The individual cards are ranked in descending order: Ace (high or low), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2. An Ace can be the highest value card in a Straight of A, K, Q or the lowest value card in a Straight of 3, 2, A.
If you and the dealer have hands of the same type, the one that includes the card of highest value wins (e.g. three Kings beats three Queens; a flush of Q, J, 10 beats a flush of 10, 9, 8).
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.
Winning hands for Three Card Poker:
• Mini Royal is a suited Ace, King and Queen.
• Straight Flush is a hand that contains three cards in sequence, all of the same suit, for example: King, Queen, Jack, all Diamonds.
• Three of a Kind is a hand that contains three cards of the same rank. For example, a player having three Kings in their hand would have Three of a Kind. Higher-valued Three of a Kind defeat lower-valued Three of a Kind.
• Straight is a hand that contains three cards of sequential rank in at least two different suits, e.g. Nine, Eight, Seven in two or more suits. Two straights are ranked by comparing the highest card of each. Two straights with the same high card are of equal value, as suits are not used to separate them.
• Flush is a hand where all three cards are of the same suit, but not in a sequence, e.g. three cards that are all Clubs. Two flushes are compared as if they were high card hands; the highest-ranking card of each is compared to determine the winner.

• Pair is a hand that contains two cards of one rank (e.g. two Kings), plus one card which are not of this rank or the same as each other. Higher ranking pairs defeat lower ranking pairs. If two hands have the same pair, the Kickers are compared in descending order to determine the winner.
• High Card is a high-card or no-pair hand is a poker hand made of any three cards not meeting any of the above requirements. Essentially, no hand is made, and the only thing of any meaning in the player's hand is their highest card.
Winning hands for 6 Card Bonus:

• Straight Flush is a hand that contains five cards in sequence, all of the same suit, for example: Nine, Eight, Seven, Six and Five, all Hearts.

• Full House is a hand that contains three matching cards of one rank and two matching cards of another rank, e.g. three Kings and two Sixes. Between two full houses, the one with the higher ranking three cards wins.
• Flush is a hand where all five cards are of the same suit, but not in a sequence, e.g. five cards that are all Clubs. Two flushes are compared as if they were high card hands; the highest ranking card of each is compared to determine the winner.

• Straight is a hand that contains five cards of sequential rank in at least two different suits, e.g. Nine, Eight, Seven, Six and Five in two or more suits.

An example of this would be having two Aces and two Kings. To rank two hands both containing Two Pairs, the higher ranking pair of each is first compared, and the higher pair wins. If both hands have the same top pair, then the second pair of each is compared. If both hands have the same two pairs, the Kicker determines the winner.
• Pair is a hand that contains two cards of one rank (e.g. two Kings), plus three cards which are not of this rank or the same as each other. Pair is the lowest hand you can be paid out for.

If the dealer qualifies and beats your hand, you lose both your Ante and Call bet.
If the dealer qualifies and your hand beats the dealer’s, you win even money on your Ante, and the Call bet pays according to the posted pay table.
If you and the dealer tie, both your Ante and Call bet are returned to you (push).

Game Rules
Casino Hold'em is a variant of the popular Texas Hold'em poker. Casino Hold'em differs from Texas Hold'em in that it is played against the house rather than against other players.
The aim of Casino Hold'em is to beat the dealer's hand by getting the best possible five-card hand, made out of the two cards dealt to the player and five community cards.
An unlimited number of players can play simultaneously at one Casino Hold'em table. Each player can take only one seat by the table.
Casino Hold'em is played with one standard 52 card deck (Jokers are excluded). Only one game is played with one deck of cards, and cards are shuffled after each game round.
To play the game you place a bet on the Ante bet (initial bet). To add to the excitement, you can also place a Bonus bet that pays out if a pair of Aces or higher is dealt in the first five cards.
The dealer deals out two cards face up to you and two cards face down to the dealer. Three community cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table. These three community cards are common for you and the dealer for making up the hand.
You must decide whether to CALL or FOLD. Choose CALL to continue the round by placing a Call bet equal to double your Ante. Choose FOLD to end the round, thereby forfeiting your Ante and Bonus bet. Note that you must choose Call to receive a payout on your Bonus bet.
After you have made your decision, the dealer will deal two more community cards (called "Turn" and "River"). The dealer will also reveal his/her two initial cards.
To find a winner, the best paying hands are formed and compared for you and for the dealer, using five out of seven available cards.
Side Bets
BONUS BET
The Bonus bet is optional bet and cannot be placed alone. After a chip is placed on the Ante bet spot a flashing arrow will show you that the Bonus bet spot is activated. Place your Bonus bet in the same way as you place the Ante bet.
The Bonus bet is evaluated on the first hand of five cards only. If you have a Pair of Aces or better combination and you decided to Call, you will win the Bonus bet and will be paid according to Bonus pay table.
Winning Hands
The individual cards are ranked in descending order: Ace (high or low), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.
An Ace 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.
Possible hands from the highest payouts to the lowest:
• Royal Flush is a straight flush involving the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10 all in the same suit.
• Straight Flush is a hand that contains five cards in sequence, all of the same suit, for example: Nine, Eight, Seven, Six and Five, all Hearts.
• Four of a Kind is a hand that contains all four cards of one rank and any other card. For example, a four Aces in your hand would be Four of a Kind. Quads with higher ranking cards defeat lower ranking ones.
• Full House is a hand that contains three matching cards of one rank and two matching cards of another rank, e.g. three Kings and two Sixes. Between two full houses, the one with the higher ranking three cards wins.
• Flush is a hand where all five cards are of the same suit, but not in a sequence, e.g. five cards that are all Clubs. Two flushes are compared as if they were high card hands; the highest ranking card of each is compared to determine the winner. If both hands have the same highest card, then the second-highest ranking card is compared, and so on until a difference is found.
• Straight is a hand that contains five cards of sequential rank in at least two different suits, e.g. Nine, Eight, Seven, Six and Five in two or more suits. Two straights are ranked by comparing the highest card of each. Two straights with the same high card are of equal value, as suits are not used to separate them.
• Three of a Kind is a hand that contains three cards of the same rank, plus two cards which are not of this rank or the same as each other. For example, a player having three Kings in their hand would have Three of a Kind. Higher-valued Three of a Kind defeat lower-valued Three of a Kind. If two hands contain Three of a Kind of the same value, the Kickers are compared to break the tie.
• Two Pairs is hand that contains two cards of the same rank, plus two cards of another rank (that match each other but not the first pair), plus any card not of either rank. An example of this would be having two Aces and two Kings. To rank two hands both containing Two Pairs, the higher ranking pair of each is first compared, and the higher pair wins. If both hands have the same top pair, then the second pair of each is compared. If both hands have the same two pairs, the Kicker determines the winner.
• Pair is a hand that contains two cards of one rank (e.g. two Kings), plus three cards which are not of this rank or the same as each other. Pair is the lowest hand you can be paid out for. Higher ranking pairs defeat lower ranking pairs. If two hands have the same pair, the Kickers are compared in descending order to determine the winner.
• High Card is a poker hand made of any five cards not meeting any of the above requirements. Essentially, no hand is made, and the only thing of any meaning in the player's hand is their highest card.
Game Outcomes
The dealer must have a pair of 4s or higher to qualify.
You win if the dealer doesn't qualify. The Ante bet is paid out according to the payout table, but the Call bet is returned to you.
You win if the dealer's hand qualifies and dealer's hand is lower than yours. The Ante bet is paid out according to the payout table and the Call bet pays 1:1.
You lose if the dealer's hand qualifies and dealer's hand is higher than yours. You lose both your Ante bet and your Call bet.
It is a Push when you and the dealer have exactly the same hand. A Push means nobody wins or loses. You get back your Ante bet and Call bet.
If you and the dealer have hands of the same type, the one that includes the card of highest value wins (e.g. three Kings beats three Queens; a flush of Q, J, 10, 9, 8 beats a flush of 10, 9, 8, 7, 6).
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.

Game Rules
Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker is a variant of the popular Texas Hold'em Poker but differs in that it is played against the house rather than against other players and there is no bet after the River card.
The game uses one 52-card deck which is shuffled after each game round.
• All players play the same hand.
• To begin the game, the player must make an ANTE bet (initial bet).
• If interested, the player can make the optional BONUS bet(ANTE bet is required).
• If interested, the player can make the optional BONUS and JACKPOT bets (ANTE bet is required).
Both the player and dealer receive two starting cards (the hole cards).
The player's cards are dealt face-up.
The dealer's cards are dealt face-down.
The player has a choice after these initial cards are dealt:
FOLD (surrender their ANTE bet) in which case the hand is over, or make a PLAY bet of 2x their ANTE.
The dealer deals three FLOP cards and the player has a choice:
BET (1x ANTE) or
CHECK (No bet)
The dealer deals one TURN card and the player has a choice:
BET (1x ANTE) or
CHECK (No bet)
The dealer then deals a final card, called the RIVER, and reveals his/her cards.
The ANTE bet is evaluated by comparing the player’s and dealer’s best five-card poker hand out of the seven dealt cards (your two cards, the dealer’s two cards and the five community cards).
Side Bets
BONUS bet
The BONUS bet is an optional bet and can be placed after your minimum ANTE bet is placed. Simply place your bet on the BONUS bet spot.
The BONUS bet is evaluated based only on the player’s and dealer’s initial cards, according to the Bonus pay table.
You win your BONUS bet if you have a Pair or better, according to the Bonus bet pay table, no matter what hand the dealer achieves.
JACKPOT bet
The JACKPOT bet is an optional side bet that allows you to win a share of the large progressive jackpot! The amount of the progressive jackpot grows steadily over time as more JACKPOT bets are placed by other players. Eventually, the jackpot is hit when a player who has placed a JACKPOT bet at a participating table gets a Royal Flush.
All players who have placed a JACKPOT bet in the winning game round share the total amount of the progressive jackpot. The amount of your potential share of the progressive jackpot is thus based on the current value of the jackpot, plus all the JACKPOT bets that have been placed by players at participating game tables in the current round.
The optional JACKPOT bet also allows you to win an additional prize of a fixed amount when you personally get a hand of Three of a Kind or better!
At the start of a new game round, place your optional JACKPOT bet after you have placed your ANTE bet and before the betting time expires.
Once accepted, your JACKPOT bet will be added to the total amount of the progressive jackpot. Each participating player places the JACKPOT bet in the currency used at his/her casino, and the current amount of the progressive jackpot and your potential share of the progressive jackpot are displayed in your currency in the JACKPOT pay table. When you win a share of the progressive jackpot, you will be paid in your own currency.
The winning hands that qualify for the lower-level fixed prizes in the jackpot (from Three of a Kind to a Straight Flush) are also displayed in your own currency.
Your decision to PLAY or FOLD your hand does not affect your ability to win a share of the progressive jackpot in the game round, or your ability to win one of the fixed prizes from the JACKPOT pay table.
If the game round is cancelled, your JACKPOT bet will be refunded along with your other bets. If you held a potential prize-winning hand according to the JACKPOT pay table in a cancelled game round, the decision to compensate you manually will be made by your game provider.
Winning Hands
The individual cards are ranked in descending order: Ace (high or low), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.
An Ace 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.
Possible hands from the highest payouts to the lowest:
• Royal Flush is a straight flush containing the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10 all in the same suit.
• Straight Flush is a hand that contains five cards in sequence, all of the same suit, for example: Nine, Eight, Seven, Six and Five, all Hearts.
• Four of a Kind is a hand that contains all four cards of one rank and any other card. For example, four Aces in your hand would be Four of a Kind. Fours with higher ranking cards defeat lower ranking ones.
• Full House is a hand that contains three matching cards of one rank and two matching cards of another rank, e.g. three Kings and two Sixes. Between two full houses, the one with the higher ranking three cards wins.
• Flush is a hand where all five cards are of the same suit, but not in a sequence, for example: five cards that are all Clubs. Two flushes are compared as if they were high card hands; the highest ranking card of each is compared to determine the winner. If both hands have the same highest card, then the second-highest ranking card is compared, and so on until a difference is found.
• Straight is a hand that contains five cards of sequential rank in at least two different suits, e.g. Nine, Eight, Seven, Six and Five in two or more suits. Two Straights are ranked by comparing the highest card of each. Two straights with the same high card are of equal value, as suits are not used to separate them.
• Three of a Kind is a hand that contains three cards of the same rank, plus two cards which are not of this rank and not the same as each other. For example, a player having three Kings in their hand would have Three of a Kind. Higher-valued Three of a Kind defeat lower-valued Three of a Kind. If two hands contain Three of a Kind of the same value, the Kickers (the two other cards) are compared to break the tie.
• Two Pairs is a hand that contains two cards of the same rank, plus two cards of another rank (that match each other but not the first pair), plus any card not of either of those ranks. An example of this would be having two Aces and two Kings. To rank two hands both containing Two Pairs, the higher-ranking pair of each is first compared, and the higher pair wins. If both hands have the same top pair, then the second pair of each is compared. If both hands have the same two pairs, the Kicker (the other card) determines the winner.
• Pair is a hand that contains two cards of one rank (e.g. two Kings), plus three cards which are not of this rank and not the same as each other. Pair is the lowest hand you can be paid out for. Higher ranking pairs defeat lower ranking pairs. If two hands have the same pair, the Kickers (the three other cards) are compared in descending order to determine the winner.
• High Card is a poker hand made of any five cards not meeting any of the above requirements. Essentially, no hand is made, and the only thing of any meaning in the player's hand is their highest card.
Game Outcomes and Payouts
• The outcomes are determined by comparing the player’s and dealer’s best five-card hands (combining the player’s initial two cards, the dealer’s initial two cards with the five community cards). The higher hand wins. If the dealer has a higher hand the player will lose all bets, except:
- Possibly the BONUS bet, which is evaluated separately.
- Possibly the JACKPOT bet, which is also evaluated separately.
• If the player has a higher hand the Flop, Turn, and River bets will pay even money. If the player has a Straight or higher the Ante bet will also pay even money, otherwise it will push.
• If the player and dealer have hands of equal value the Ante, Flop, Turn and River bets will all push.
• The BONUS bet will pay based only on the player's and dealer's initial two cards, according to the pay table posted.
