Casino Hold'em Game

Hold’em is a relatively new table game in online and brick-and-mortar casinos. Despite a similar name, it’s not the same as playing Texas hold’em poker. This form of the game is played against the casino. As such, the rules and strategies are entirely different.

You can play this online casino game here at Slingo Casino.

A single 52-card deck is used, with no jokers. You won’t have to worry about multiple decks of cards, as in games like blackjack. Players must place an ante to play a hand, with optional bets later on. After placing the ante, you’ll receive two cards face-up. There’s no need to hide these since you’re only playing against the house. The goal is to form the best five-card combination, just like you would in any online poker game. A royal flush is the strongest possible hand, while high card hands are the weakest. To win, you must simply beat the dealer’s hand.

Once all bets have been placed the live dealer deals two cards face up to the players’ position, two cards down to the dealers’ position and then 3 community cards, the Flop, face up.

If the hand is folded, the Bonus and Jackpot Bets still remain in play and will be paid if a winning hand is made.

The dealer then deals the two remaining community cards, the Turn and the River.

He’ll then reveal his two cards and in the Showdown the player with the better hand will win.

The Progressive Jackpot bet shall pay based on the player's two hole cards and the five community cards only. It does not matter whether or not the player folds or loses to the dealer. In the event of a straight flush or royal flush on the board, all players who made the Progressive Jackpot bet shall split the win.

There are two versions of the playing interface for those playing on a desktop. What one you get depends entirely on your Internet Connection speed.

There are three levels of quality for this. You start off on medium, if your connection can take it you’ll be reset for full HD and if you’re struggling you ‘ll get the low bandwidth setting.
