Table Games: Can’t Get Enough Of The Hold ‘Em
READ MORE: Online Casinos, Online Gambling, Poker
Nothing beats taking a hot trend and pounding it squarely into the ground. So it goes with poker. We’ve seen the table game for Texas Hold ‘Em at a nearby casino, and it was only a matter of time before the online casinos rolled it up into their offerings. Here’s the rules:
To play there is a $3 mandatory blind ante wager. Also, a one-time raise bet is a minimum five-times bet, or $15. Bets pay even money against the dealerīs cards. Thereīs also the option to place a $3 side bet making it much like a real version of video poker. The winning odds are as follows: 2 to 1 for three of a kind and 500 to 1 for a royal flush. The side bet on hole cards is better, paying 8 to 1 for jacks or better pairs and 20 to 1 for aces. Also all side bets remain in play even if the player folds before the game is done.
If you try to bluff the “dealer” in this game, you’re a retard. It’s the side bets here where the casino makes their money, our guess is you don’t have to hit a “Jacks or Better” type hand to get paid on the ante/one-time raise wagers. Still, we’re firmly of the opinion that blackjack and craps are the only table games worth playing, so give this a shot at the risk of looking stupid and losing a few side bets along the way.
