TEXAS HOLD’EM BONUS

Object of the Game

Texas Hold’em Bonus™ is a community based card game. Each Player and the Dealer is dealt a two card hand that can be used in any combination along with the five board cards (community cards) to form the best five card Poker hand.

There is also an optional “Bonus Jackpot” side bet in addition to the basic game bet where Players compare their two card hand versus a posted paytable. Players need not win the basic game in order to be paid on the side bet, provided the side bet was placed prior to any cards being dealt. Refer to the Bonus Jackpot Payout Table for acceptable winning hands and their respective payouts.

The object of Pai Gow Poker is to make two poker hands that rank higher than the Banker’s hand.  Players have the option of banking in Pai Gow Poker and if they choose to bank they must cover all players bets and all hands are compared to the Banker’s hands.

Pai Gow Poker is played with a single deck of 52 cards, plus one joker which may be used in only one of two ways: as an ace, or to complete a Flush, Straight, or Straight Flush. Hands are played and ranked as traditional poker hands, except that A-2-3-4-5 is the second-highest straight, beaten only by an A-K-Q-J-10 straight. A 5% commission bet is made with each wager.

The object of the game is to get a 2-card hand and a 5-card hand, which rank higher than the Banker.

High Card Flush

Object of the Game

In High Card Flush, each Player plays against the Dealer and not against other Players. There are multiple wagers that may be made by a Player. Ranking of hands are based upon the number of cards of the same suit (a Flush) in the Player’s or Dealer’s hand. The Ante and Raise wagers correspond to the Player’s hand versus the Dealer’s hand, and Players win if their hand contains more cards of the same suit than the Dealer’s, regardless of suit.

The Flush and Straight Flush bonus side wagers are based upon comparing the Player’s hand to a predetermined paytable. These wagers remain in action even if the Player folds during play and forfeits their Ante and Raise wagers.

Game Overview

1. A maximum of six Players may participate.
2. High Card Flush is played with one deck of standard playing cards (52 cards). The cards are either manually shuffled or by using an automatic shuffler.

8. The Player may not touch the cards after they have folded them, placed the Raise wager, or tucked them under the Straight Flush

Free Bet Blackjack

Free Bet Blackjack lets you double down and split...for free! If you choose the free bet option, the dealer will place a special lammer next to your original wager. If you end up winning the hand, you get paid as if you had made a traditional split or double, even though you didn’t put any additional money at risk.

Getting Started

Make a bet to play against the dealer. You and the dealer will receive two starting cards, as in standard blackjack.

Free Split

You may free split any pairs, except for 10-value cards. Free re-splitting is allowed. Aces can only be split once and will receive one card on each Ace.

Free Double

You may free double any two-card hard 9, 10, or 11. Free doubling after splitting is allowed, when the above doubling rule is followed.

Push 22

If the dealer busts with a point total of 22, all primary bets you have left in action are pushes. The Pot of Gold side wagers will still be paid as per the pay table if the hand received any lammers. Note: Player blackjacks are paid before the dealer hits out his hand, so they are not affected by the Push 22 rule.

Pot of Gold

Place a wager on the Pot of Gold bet spot. The more lammers you collect, the more you win. Payouts are based on the total number of Free Bet Lammers collected per blackjack hand.

See pay table for odds.

Note: All Pot of Gold wagers lose to a dealer blackjack.

Casino War
