Total Texas Hold'em
How to Play
Total Texas Hold'em is the poker fan's casino game. You get two hole cards and share a five-card community board with the dealer, just like real Hold'em. The big strategic twist: you can raise your bet size based on how confident you feel at each stage - before the flop, after the flop, or after all five cards. Raise big early when you're confident, or wait and see how the board develops. The Blind bet pays bonuses for straights and better.
- Post your Ante and Blind bets (equal amounts). You can also add a Trips side bet for extra action based on your final five-card hand.
- You receive two hole cards face-up. Now you choose: raise big (4x your Ante) if you love your starting hand, or wait to see the flop for free.
- The three-card flop is dealt. If you didn't raise pre-flop, you can raise now at 2x your Ante, or check again and wait to see all five community cards.
- The turn and river complete the board. If you still haven't raised, this is your last chance: raise at 1x your Ante, or fold and give up your Ante and Blind bets.
- The dealer reveals their cards. They need at least a pair to qualify. If they don't qualify, your Ante is pushed and your Blind bet stays in play.
- Best hand wins. Your Play bet always pays 1:1 when you win. The Blind bet also pays bonus amounts for strong hands - Straight pays 1:1 all the way up to 500:1 for a Royal Flush.

Millionaire Mode, Win $1,000,000
Millionaire Mode is a $1 side bet added on top of your regular Total Texas Hold'em bet. Your main payouts are unaffected.
Each round, the dealt cards are checked for the six top spades - 9, 10, J, Q, K and A of spades. Land all six and you win $1,000,000. Fewer still pay: 5 = $5,000, 4 = $325, 3 = $20, 2 = $2; 0 or 1, the dollar is lost.
The jackpot is always ready. Every $1 ticket is a full attempt at the headline figure.
Turn it on, play your main bet (at least $1), and the Royal Spades check runs alongside every round.

Tips & Tricks
Total Texas Hold'em strategy is all about when to raise and how much. The short version: raise 4x before the flop if you have a good starting hand (any Ace, any pair except 2-2, or decent suited connectors), raise 2x after the flop if you've made at least two pair, and always raise 1x on the river rather than fold if you have any pair at all.
The most important rule for beginners is simple: never fold on the river if you have a pair or better. The 1x river raise is cheap relative to giving up your Ante and Blind bets. Even a weak pair on the river is worth the minimum raise - folding when you have a made hand is one of the most expensive mistakes in this game.
The Blind bet adds a nice bonus layer - strong hands earn bigger payouts on top of your regular win. Straights, Flushes, Full Houses, and better all pay progressively higher multiples. The Trips side bet pays out based on your final five-card hand regardless of what the dealer has, so it's pure hand-quality betting with no dealer outcome dependency.
Because you post both Ante and Blind before each hand, your committed stake per hand is higher than single-bet table games. Keep your base Ante size conservative relative to your session bankroll. The 4x pre-flop raise option is compelling but also means some hands cost 6x your Ante total (Ante + Blind + 4x Play). Make sure your session budget accounts for this.
Is It Fair?
Total Texas Hold'em is provably fair - every hand is cryptographically sealed before you see your hole cards. The casino locks in a secret seed and shows you proof before your session begins. Your own client seed is mixed in at deal time, so the nine cards in each hand are determined jointly by both parties. Neither the casino nor you can know or influence the outcome before the commitment is set.
After your session ends, the casino reveals its secret seed and you can verify every hand independently. Millionaire Mode is a paid $1 Royal Spades side bet that runs alongside the round; it does not reduce your main Total Texas Hold'em payouts.
Provably fair means you hold the proof, not just a promise. Use the fairness panel in-game to access your session data, and use any standard SHA-256 tool to verify. The algorithm is public, the seeds are disclosed, and the outcome is always reproducible from those inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Total Texas Hold'em have side bets I can add?
Yes. Eight side bets: Trips Reward, Suited Hole, Connector, Dealer Connector, Pairs Up, Three Card Combo, Colour Bonus, All Even. Place any before the round; each pays on its own outcome, separate from the main game.
What is Total Texas Hold'em?
Total Texas Hold'em is a casino poker game where you play Texas Hold'em rules against the dealer. You post an Ante and Blind before each hand, get two hole cards, and share five community cards. The big difference from regular table poker: you can raise your bet early for 4x if your starting hand is strong, or wait to see the board unfold. Blind bet pays bonuses for straights and better. Millionaire Mode is a paid $1 Royal Spades side bet that runs alongside the round; it does not reduce your main Total Texas Hold'em payouts.
Can I really win $1,000,000 playing Total Texas Hold'em?
Yes. Turn on Millionaire Mode and a $1 side bet is added per round. Your regular Total Texas Hold'em payouts are unchanged. Each round the dealt cards are checked for the six top spades (9 to A of spades). Land all six and you win $1,000,000. Fewer still pay smaller tiered prizes (5 = $5,000 down to 2 = $2).
Is Total Texas Hold'em rigged?
Total Texas Hold'em is provably fair - every card in every hand is determined by a cryptographic seed committed before the deal. After your session, the seed is revealed and you can verify every hand, including your Trips side bet outcomes. Millionaire Mode is a paid $1 Royal Spades side bet that runs alongside the round; it does not reduce your main Total Texas Hold'em payouts. Everything is auditable and transparent.
Can I play Total Texas Hold'em with crypto?
BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT and BNB all work. Your crypto deposit is credited to the account as USD - that is the balance you play Total Texas Hold'em with, and the same balance any winnings sit in. When you withdraw, you pick the wallet and the cash-out is sent on-chain.
Any tips for playing Total Texas Hold'em?
Three rules cover most of the strategy: raise 4x pre-flop with a good starting hand (any Ace, any pair above 2-2, strong suited connectors), raise 2x on the flop if you've made two pair or better, and always raise 1x on the river rather than fold if you have any pair at all. The most expensive mistake beginners make is folding on the river with a pair - that 1x raise almost always pays off.
