Casino Texas Hold'em Poker game rules

One deck with 4 types of 52 cards (hearts (♥), diamonds (♦), spades (♠), clubs (♣)) is used for the game. There are 13 cards of each type, from a double to an ace. Before the cards are dealt, it is mandatory to shuffle the playing cards and offer the customer to separate the deck of cards with the distinguishing card. If a player refuses to separate cards, the croupier or inspector does so. 

A maximum of 6 fields can be played at one gaming table. The croupier's group leader (pitboss) decides how many fields will be played (but not more than 6). A player may gamble in one game field - "light" (i.e. the player sees his cards) and in others - "dark" (i.e. the player cannot see his cards and must place both Ante and Bet (equal to a double Ante bet) at the same time).

Gambling begins when players place bets in the ANTE field and, if a bonus is played, a bonus bet must be placed in the bonus field. The croupier deals 2 cards to each player and takes 2 cards for himself. All playing cards are dealt face down. Croupier cards do not participate in player card combinations. If the croupier deals the wrong number of cards or any card is inadvertently turned over, all cards are shuffled again and the bets remain intact. The card can only be viewed above the table. Players are not allowed to show each other cards, look at another player's cards or exchange cards with each other. It is also forbidden to give a signal to players in any other way about the cards player have. It is forbidden to remove the playing cards from the table and put them anywhere else.

The croupier opens 3 common cards in the middle of the table. The croupier will then deal two more common cards. Each player, seeing their 2 cards and 3 common cards, must decide whether or not to continue playing. If a player refuses to continue gambling, he loses the initial (ANTE) bet. A player who chooses to continue gambling must place a double initial (ANTE) bet in the BET field.

When players decide whether they are playing or not, the croupier turns over 2 more common cards to the 3 common cards already in place and shows his cards immediately. The goal of each player is to collect a better 5-card hand than the croupier using 7 cards (5 common cards and 2 own cards).

When all players decide whether to continue playing, the croupier pays the bonus if a bet has been placed in the bonus field and the player has a bonus combination consisting of the first two cards dealt and three common cards in the middle of the table. At least two of the player's cards must be present to form a bonus combination (exception - in the case of the "Three of a Kind" combination, at least one of the player's cards must be present).

Bonus payment:

  • Three of a Kind 10:1
  • Straight 15:1
  • Flush 25:1
  • Full House 75:1
  • Four of a Kind 250:1
  • Straight Flush 500:1
  • Royal Flush 1000:1

Players are not allowed to touch the cards after they have been placed on the table after the bets. It is forbidden to touch bets during the game.

If the croupier's deck of cards is lost by the end, the croupier takes all the cards from the corner of the cards, shuffles them, gives the player to cut and continues the deal. The card combinations available to players are compared to the dealer's card combination. If the dealer has a pair of fours (4) and more, then there is gambling. The winner is the one whose 5-card combination is higher than his / her common cards. When the croupier's "hand" is stronger, the player loses the bet. When a player's "hand" is stronger than a croupier, a 1:1 bet is made and, depending on the player's "hand", an initial bet (ANTE) is paid. Initial bet (ANTE) payouts are listed in the table on the gaming table. When a croupier and a player have the same hand, it is considered who has the stronger 5-card hand or who has the higher next card. When a croupier and a gambler have the same hand and cards of equal power, then no one wins or loses (draws). Bets are inviolable. The type of cards does not matter for the rank of the cards. When a croupier has no gambling (gambling starts with a pair of fours), the initial bet (ANTE) is paid to the player in proportion to the payout table and the main bet (BET) remains, it is not paid out.

Payouts go from right to left. Winnings are paid out in the following ratio:

  • Royal flush 50:1
  • Straight flush 20:1
  • Four of kind 10:1
  • Full house 3:1
  • Flush 2:1
  • Straight and smaller 1:1
