Game Flow

• If the dealer’s hand qualifies, then the dealer’s and player’s hands are compared.
  • If you have higher cards, then both your Ante and Play bets get an even money payout.
  • If the dealer has a better hand, then both your Ante and Play bets are lost.
  • In case of a tie, both your Ante and Play bets result in a Push.

Limit Ranges

The limit ranges displayed next to the table name in the Lobby and on the game table UI correspond to Ante bet limits.

Blind Play

The Blind Play feature allows you to place the Play bet before the cards are dealt and automatically participate in the whole game round. You cannot use this option without an Ante bet, so when you place a bet on the Blind Play position, your bet amount is automatically copied to the Ante betting position.

Blind Play is available only if enabled by your service provider and you can disable it in the game Settings.

Side Bets

Ante Bonus

Once you place the Ante bet, you automatically participate in the Ante Bonus. Ante Bonus is rewarded to you when you have one of the hands listed in the Ante Bonus payout table (see below), regardless of the fact whether you beat the dealer’s hand or not. If you choose to Fold, Ante Bonus is not rewarded to you, even if your hand qualified.

Pair Plus

Pair Plus Side Bet can be placed without an Ante bet.

Regardless of the hand of the dealer, you win the Pair Plus bet if you placed a bet on the Pair Plus position and your hand contains a Pair or better.

Note: The Side Bet must be enabled by your service provider.

Poker Plus

Poker Plus is a Side Bet where the best five-card hand is calculated by combining your three cards with the dealer’s three cards. You can place the bet on the Poker Plus betting area after placing your Ante bet and before the cards are dealt.

If your hand qualifies for payouts, you are paid according to the Poker Plus payout table (see below). If your hand does not qualify, you lose the Poker Plus bet.

Poker Plus bet may win or lose even if you fold your hand and do not place a Play wager.

Note: The Side Bet must be enabled by your service provider.
