Casino Hold'em Poker™


The idea of the game is to be dealt a better two-card hand than that of the dealer with options to make side-bets on the value of the player's dealt hand (Set Bonus™
),
 or upon the likelihood of the dealer's second card being higher or lower than that of his first card (Dealer's High/Low
).
 

Quick Guide to the Rules

1    Players play against the dealer.

2    Ace ranks high except when dealt with a two.

3    Dealer wins on duplicate hands.

4    Stand-off on 'super push' - this occurs when both dealer and player have 'no hand' and dealer wins one half-hand and player wins the other.

5    Dealer always collects all losing bets first then pays out all winning bets.

6    If Players wins with a pair of tens or higher the pay-out will be at 2:1 on the Entry bet.

7    Dealer deals the cards left to right and pays out winning bets and/or collects losing bets right to left.

8    Dealer will collect all players' cards at the end of the game.
