How to Play Casino Hold'em
Casino Hold'em is a house-banked version of Texas Hold'em. You play against the dealer, not other players. Both sides receive two hole cards and share a five-card community board. The best five-card poker hand wins.
How to Play
- Place an Ante bet. Optionally place the AA Bonus side bet.
- You and the dealer each receive two hole cards. Three community cards (the flop) are dealt.
- Choose Call (place a bet equal to 2x your Ante) or Fold (lose the Ante).
- The final two community cards (turn and river) are dealt.
- Best five-card hand wins. The dealer must have a pair of 4s or better to qualify.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I fold after the flop in Casino Hold'em?
You lose your Ante bet immediately and are out of the hand. The dealer does not reveal their cards.
Can I win money on the AA Bonus bet if I fold my main hand?
Yes, the AA Bonus bet is independent from your Ante bet. Your AA Bonus bet wins or loses based on your final five-card hand, regardless of whether you folded the main hand.
How much do I need to bet if I decide to call after the flop?
You must place a Call bet equal to 2x your original Ante bet. This bet goes into the pot against the dealer's hand.
What is the minimum poker hand the dealer needs to qualify in Casino Hold'em?
The dealer must have at least a pair to qualify. If the dealer fails to qualify, your Ante bet pushes and your Call bet wins at 1 to 1.
Do I play against other players or the dealer in Casino Hold'em?
You play against the dealer only. All other players at the table compete individually against the dealer and do not affect your hand outcome.
