Casino Hold’em is an exciting poker variant inspired by Texas Hold’em, where players compete against the house rather than other players. The objective is to form a stronger hand than the dealer to win.

How to Play Casino Hold’em

1. Ante Bet

• Each game begins with the player placing an Ante, the initial wager to enter the round.

2. Optional AA Side Bet

• Players can place an additional AA Side Bet (Aces or Better), which pays out based on the best five-card hand created using the player’s two hole cards and the first three community cards (the flop).

3. The Deal

• The dealer and player each receive two private cards (hole cards).
• Three community cards (the flop) are dealt face-up on the table.

4. Call or Fold

After reviewing their cards and the flop, players can choose to:

• Call Bet: Double their Ante to continue playing.
• Fold: Forfeit their Ante and exit the round.

5. Turn and River

• Two more community cards (the turn and river) are dealt face-up, completing the five community cards.

6. Dealer’s Hand

• The dealer reveals their two hole cards and forms the best five-card hand using the community cards.

7. Comparison

• The player’s and dealer’s hands are compared based on traditional poker rankings to determine the winner.

Payouts in Casino Hold’em

1. When the Dealer Qualifies

• The dealer qualifies with a pair of 4s or better:
  • The Ante pays even money.
  • The Call Bet is paid according to the payout table.

2. When the Dealer Doesn’t Qualify

• If the dealer does not qualify:
  • The Ante is returned to the player.
  • The Call Bet pays even money.

3. AA Side Bet Payouts

• The optional AA Side Bet is paid based on the best five-card hand created from the player’s and dealer’s hole cards and the flop, regardless of the final game result.
