How to Play

HOW TO PLAY ULTIMATE TEXAS HOLD ‘EM

Ultimate Texas Hold’em features head-to-head play against the dealer and an optional bonus bet. Players and the dealer each receive two cards. They combine them with five community cards to make their best five-card hand.

Ultimate Texas Hold’em lets players bet aggressively. The earlier they bet, the more they can risk—and win. If players bet pre-flop, they may risk 3x or 4x their Ante. If they bet on the flop, they may bet 2x their ante. And if they wait until the river—when all community cards are out— they may only bet 1x their Ante.

This game also features an optional bet, the Trips Bonus. Players win the Trips Bonus if their final five-card hand is three of a kind or higher. Odds printed on layout.

Dealer Qualifies

WHEN THE DEALER QUALIFIES:

If the player’s hand beats the dealers, the Play and Ante bets win even money.
If the player’s hand loses to the dealer, the Play, Ante and Blind bets lose.
When the hands tie, the Play, Ante and Blind bets push.
The Blind bet wins when the player wins with a straight or higher. See layout for odds.
If the player wins with less than a straight the Blind pushes.
The Trips bet wins if the player has three of a kind or better. See layout for odds.
