There are poker rooms galore in most of the world’s top casinos. Perhaps you saw the action during your visit(s), but were hesitant about playing the game of choice for most poker players, texas Hold’em, for fear of intimidation from experienced players. If so, you should try the board game called Texas Hold’em bonuses. If you can’t hold a Poker face, No problem. The object is to beat the casino dealer, just as you would in Blackjack and most other table games.
How to Play the Texas Hold’em Bonus
- A single 52 card is used. All players must first make a initial bet bet. An optional bonus bet must also be placed at this time, if chosen.
- All players and the dealer are dealt two cards face down. Players must decide if Fold or make an additional bet to see the failure, which is a bet to see the next three community cards, which can be used by all players to complete their best five-card poker hand. The flop bet must be double the starting amount.
- After the flop, players can either check (not bet but stay in the hand), or make a Bend bet, which is a bet to see the fourth community card. The turn bet must be equal to the ante. Players can check again or place a bet equal to the ante to see the fifth and final River card.
The players and the dealer then play
warning Make your best five card hand using the hole cards and the community cards.
If the house dealer wins, the player loses all bets except the bonus bet, if one was made. If the player wins, the flop, turn and river bets all pay the same money. In order for the player to receive the payment of the initial bet, he must have at least one color or more. (Some casinos pay for a straight or more). Otherwise, the bet pushes.
If you bet, the bonus payout is based on the player’s two hole cards and will be paid out even if you lose the original hand.
