Ultimate Texas Hold'em Poker game rules

Now you also have the opportunity of playing TEXAS against the dealer. The diff erence of this game is that 5 cards are placed on the table and these so-called “community” cards are used to form combinations by you and by the dealer. There are also 2 face-down cards on the table, thus you can play with 7 cards and choose the highest combination of 5 cards.

To start the game you should place equal bets on the ANTE and BLIND boxes. You can play on up to 6 boxes at the same time. When playing on several boxes, you are only allowed to see one hand, while the others will remain blind. In the case of blind hands, you must make equal bets on the ANTE and BLIND boxes before the cards are dealt and in addition to those, you should place a bet equalling 1 to 4 times the amount on the PLAY box. The dealer will deal two face-down cards to all players and for the dealer. After you have looked at your cards, there is the first betting round when you have the opportunity of placing on the PLAY box a bet that equals 3 or 4 times the ANTE bet. Upon making this choice your hand counts as decided. You also have the option of not making a bet, but “check”. Then the dealer will open the 3 first community cards on the table. This is followed by the second betting round where you can place a double ANTE bet on the PLAY box. You also have the option of not making a bet, but “check”. Then the dealer will open the remaining 2 community cards. This is followed by the third betting round where you can place a single ANTE bet on the PLAY box or surrender your hand (“fold”). In that case, you lose your ANTE and BLIND bets.
