Join the race for a seat at any point along the chain and at a stake to suit your bankroll!

One-hand satellites are played in the Sit & Go lobby. These events involve a full six or ten-seat table of players. Every player is all-in every hand until one winner is left standing.

Points satellites

Poker Points you have accumulated can be used to enter Poker Point satellites where players compete for Premium freeroll tickets with a value between 500 and 25,000 PP’s that enable players to take part in freerolls with prize pools from $100 to $1,000

If you like Texas hold ‘em, you’ll love Casino hold’em! It’s fast, fun and a great way to spice up your game.

Playing Casino Hold ’em on is fun and easy. Simply register here.

The Ante bet
In order to play Casino Hold ’em, you must first make an Ante bet, and press the Deal Cards button. You will then be dealt two cards, the dealer will be dealt two cards, and the first three cards of the flop are revealed.

You then have the opportunity to call (continue playing) or fold (stop playing). If you fold, you lose your bet and the game is over. Calling costs an additional bet double the size of your original bet. If you call, the remaining two cards of the flop are dealt, and the dealer’s cards are turned over.

Your hand is then compared to that of the dealer.

• If the dealer’s hand does not Qualify with a pair of fours or better, your Call bet is returned to you.

If the dealer qualifies

• If the dealer has a better hand than you, then you lose both Call and Ante bets
• If you and the dealer have the same hand, both your Call and Ante bets are returned to you (a Push)
• If you beat the dealer, your Call bet pays even money, and your Ante bet is paid out according to the Ante Pay Table below

The AA bet
In addition to making an Ante bet, you may also make an AA bet. Note that you must make an Ante bet – you can’t make an AA bet only. This bet relates only to your two cards and the first three cards on the flop.

Once you’ve made an Ante bet and an AA bet, and pressed Deal Cards, the five cards turned up are the ones that count towards the AA bet. Note, however, that you must Call in order to be paid on the AA bet. If you Fold, you lose your AA bet as well as the Ante bet.

If you Call, these five cards (your two cards, and the first three cards) are considered as a poker hand. If you have less than a pair of Aces, the bet is lost.

Hand rankings

It’s time to brush up on those all important hand rankings. Here’s a list of the possible hands and how they rank.

High card
The highest ranked card is an Ace, and the ranking runs from the Ace down through the picture cards all the way to two.

Pair
Any two cards of the same rank, for example two Queens. The ranking of pairs mirrors that of the cards in general, so the strongest pair is a pair of Aces and the weakest a pair of 2s.

Two pair
Two sets of cards of the same rank, for example two queens and two sixes.

Three of a kind
Also called trips, this is where you have three cards of the same rank, for example three sevens.

Straight
Five cards in sequential rank order, for example 8, 9, 10, Jack and Queen. An Ace may be used as both a high and a low card.

Flush
Five cards of the same suit, for example five diamonds.

Full house
A combination of a pair and three of a kind.

Four of a kind
Four cards of the same rank, for example four Queens.

Straight flush
A straight (see above) but with all the cards in the same suit.

Royal flush
The daddy of all poker hands, a royal flush is a straight flush involving the 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace.

Mini Roulette is a casino game played against the house, based on the popular live game, but with fewer numbers
