In this game, the dealer deals two cards at the start of each round (not to be shown) and there are five cards face-up on the table. Each player then uses their two cards (or one or none of those cards) in combination with five face-up cards to make a best possible hand. The player with the best hand wins the round.

Basic rules of the game

In a nutshell, each player is dealt two private cards ('Hole Cards' or 'Pocket Cards'), after which there is a betting round. Then three community cards are dealt face up (the 'Flop'), followed by a second betting round. A fourth community card is dealt face up (the 'Turn'), followed by a third betting round. A fifth community card is dealt face up (the 'River') and the the fourth and final betting round. At the Showdown, each player plays the best five-card hand they can make using any five cards from the two pocket cards and the five community cards (or 'Board Cards'). A player with the best hand as per the hand ranking rules wins the round i.e. the Pot (Pot is the sum of money that players bet during each hand. After each betting round, all bets go into the Pot until the Showdown).

• One of the newest casino table games popping up in casinos across the country is the 'Texas Hold'em Bonus' game. Simply, it pits each player against the dealer in heads-up hands of Texas Hold'em poker. Whoever has the best five-card poker hand at the end, wins.
• Casino Hold‘Em is a casino game based on the immensely popular Texas Hold‘Em poker game and it is different from it in that it is played against the house and not by competing with the other players in a direct battle against them, which gives the player bigger chances of winning.

To begin the game, the dealer deals two cards at the start of each hand (round), which are not meant to be shown to the opponents. In poker, action moves to the left. Two forced bets, known as the ‘blinds’ will have to be placed into the ‘Pot’ (potential winning amount). Big blinds are always double the amount of small blinds. The player sitting left of the dealer places the small blind on the table and the player sitting left of him places the big blind.

Once the blinds are placed, the person on the left of the big blind will have to decide whether they want to play the hand. Players have 3 options to choose from. They can:

• Fold – This is when the player doesn’t want to participate in the hand and gives up the cards i.e. Surrenders.
• Call – This simply involves matching the big blind as a signal of participation in the hand
• Raise – This involves raising the bet at a minimum of double the big blinds and it’s a clear sign of a strong hand.

Once the initial bets are placed, it’s time for the dealer to deal the first 3 cards, known as ‘the flop’. After the flop, another betting round takes place, starting from the player who placed the small blind, always moving to the left. Players are not obliged to bet, as they also have an option to ‘check’, which simply means they are not placing a bet and would like to see the next card for free. If everyone checks, the next card is dealt. If one player bets, once again, everyone will wait their turn to decide whether they decide to fold, call or raise.

The next card to be dealt is called ‘the turn’. This is the 4^th card and another betting round occurs, giving players another chance to decide whether they want to stay in the hand. The last and final card is called the ‘river’. After the last round of betting, the action ends there, where players will have to reveal their hole cards. To make a poker hand, players must combine theirhole cards with any 3 of the 5 cards dealt by the dealer or use the cards dealt by the dealer to make a hand. The player with the best hand wins the pot.
