Ultimate Texas Hold'em
How to Play
Ultimate Texas Hold'em at EvoJacks gives you more control than any other poker variant. Start with equal Ante and Blind bets, then get 2 hole cards. Here is where it gets interesting: you get three chances to raise, but you can only raise once per hand. Raise big early (3x-4x before the flop) or wait for more information (2x after the flop, 1x after the river).
The strategic depth comes from the timing. A 4x pre-flop raise with pocket Aces commits the most money when you have the strongest read on your hand. Checking to see the flop first gives you more data but limits your raise to 2x. If you check all the way to the end, you either raise 1x or fold. This single-raise mechanic makes every checkpoint a meaningful decision.
The dealer qualifies with a pair or better. The Blind bet has its own paytable that pays on Straight or better, acting like a built-in bonus. Even when the dealer does not qualify and the Ante pushes, the Blind still fires on qualifying hands. Between the Ante, Blind, raise, Trips Bonus side bet, and Millionaire Mode, a single hand can produce payouts from up to five different sources.
Side Bets
The Trips Bonus evaluates your best hand from all 7 cards. It pays on Three of a Kind or better and does not care whether you beat the dealer or whether the dealer even qualifies. It is purely about the strength of your final hand, making it a straightforward bet on personal hand quality.
Trips Bonus
Your best 5-card hand from all 7 cards. Three of a Kind or better wins, regardless of whether you beat the dealer or not.
| Hand | Payout |
|---|---|
| Royal Flush | 50:1 |
| Straight Flush | 40:1 |
| Four of a Kind | 30:1 |
| Full House | 8:1 |
| Flush | 7:1 |
| Straight | 4:1 |
| Three of a Kind | 3:1 |
The Trips Bonus hits more often than you might expect because it uses all 7 cards to form the best hand. Three of a Kind pays 3:1, Straight 4:1, Flush 7:1 — these are hands that show up regularly with 7-card evaluation. The premium tiers (Full House 8:1, Four of a Kind 30:1, Straight Flush 40:1, Royal Flush 50:1) provide the excitement on the bigger hits.
Millionaire Mode
Add a $1 side bet for a shot at $1,000,000. Seven cards are evaluated for the spade straight flush: 8♠ 9♠ 10♠ J♠ Q♠ K♠ A♠. Your 2 hole cards plus the 5 community cards = 7 cards evaluated — a natural fit with no bonus cards needed.
| Matching Cards | Payout |
|---|---|
| 7 of 7 — Complete Straight Flush | $1,000,000 |
| 6 of 7 | $3,000 |
| 5 of 7 | $200 |
| 4 of 7 | $15 |
| 3 of 7 | $8 |
| 2 of 7 | $1 |
Provably Fair
The deck is locked before you bet. SHA-256 hash proves it. After each hand, the server reveals the seed and you can verify every card yourself. All 5 community cards and both hands are determined by that one committed seed. The game's natural 7-card deal means Millionaire Mode uses the exact same cards on the table — no bonus draws needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from Casino Hold'em?
You get three raise checkpoints instead of one Call/Fold decision. Before the flop (3x-4x), after the flop (2x), or after the river (1x). You can only raise once, so timing is the strategy.
What is the Trips Bonus?
A side bet on your best 5-card hand from all 7 cards. Three of a Kind 3:1, Straight 4:1, Flush 7:1, Full House 8:1, Four of a Kind 30:1, Straight Flush 40:1, Royal Flush 50:1. Pays regardless of the main hand result.
What does the Blind bet do?
The Blind is a mandatory bet placed with the Ante. It has its own paytable that pays on Straight or better, acting like a built-in bonus. If the dealer does not qualify (no pair), the Ante pushes but the Blind still pays on qualifying hands.
How does Millionaire Mode work?
A $1 side bet evaluates your 2 hole cards + 5 community cards for the spade straight flush. All 7 cards are naturally dealt in the game, so no bonus cards are needed. All 7 matching = $1,000,000.
Should I raise pre-flop or wait?
Raise pre-flop with strong hands like high pairs and premium Ace combinations. The 4x raise maximises your bet when you have the best information about your starting hand. With weaker hands, checking to see the flop keeps your options open.
Is the game provably fair?
Yes. SHA-256 locks the entire deck before the deal. All community cards and hole cards derive from the committed seed. The seed is revealed after each hand for independent verification.
