Online Casino Hold'em

Casino Hold‘em is an exciting variation of Texas Hold’Em Poker – the most popular Poker game in the world. The phenomenal rise in popularity of Poker over recent years is in no small part down to Texas Hold’em and Online Casino Hold'em mixes the skill and excitement of that card game with the fun of trying to beat the dealer in the online casino. With Casino Hold’em at Casino Tropez we bring the excitement of tournament poker to the casino online.

The first and most obvious change to the recognised game is that you do not play against other players – instead you face the dealer and try to bring the house down! In each game you need to make better a hand than the dealer from a combination of your cards and the flop cards. You begin the game by clicking on your bet amount to place your ante bet (each click adds another chip to the ante). At this stage you can also place a separate AA bet which we will describe later. Once you are happy with your ante amount, click deal to start the game.

Initially you are dealt two cards face up, the dealer receives two cards face down and three cards are placed face up in the centre of the table. From here you have two choices as to how to proceed. If you don’t think you will make a winning hand you can choose to fold, the round ends and you lose your ante. If you think that you will make a better hand than the dealer you can call. To do this you click on ‘call’ and raise your bet by two times your ante. After you have called, two more flop cards are dealt to produce the final hands. The dealer’s cards are now revealed and the best possible hands are automatically formed.

At this point the dealer must have at least a pair of 4s to qualify for the call. If the dealer qualifies your call bet pays even money, if the dealer does not qualify your call bet is returned. Regardless of whether the dealer qualifies, if your five card hand beats the dealer’s then your ante bet is paid according to the following table:

Hand	Payout
Royal Flush	100 to 1
Straight Flush	20 to 1
4 of a Kind	10 to 1
Full House	3 to 1
Flush	2 to 1
Straight or lower	Even money

If you and the dealer have equal hands, the highest card out of the remaining ones available to each of you determines the winner.

Aside from the normal game, you can also place an optional AA bet at the start of the game. This bet is on whether the first five cards dealt (your two cards plus the initial three flop cards) will form a poker hand of a pair of Aces or better. You must place a call bet to collect your AA bet winnings which are paid out in the following way:

Hand	Payout
Royal Flush	100 to 1
Straight Flush	50 to 1
4 of a Kind	40 to 1
Full House	30 to 1
Flush	20 to 1
Straight or lower	7 to 1
