Ultimate Texas Hold’em
Ultimate Texas Hold’em is a game played against the dealer with an optional bonus bet feature.
This game offers several advantages for you:
- The earlier you place a bet, the more you can wager.
- You don’t have to fold your hand until you’ve seen all the community cards.
- The Trips Bonus Bet pays if you have three of a kind or a better hand at the end of the game.
The Basics
Place equal bets on the Ante and Blind betting spots. You may also place a Trips Bonus Bet. After that, you will receive two cards.
Bet a lot… or a little! Or don’t bet at all!
Once you receive your two cards, you can choose to check or bet 3x or 4x your Ante. The dealer then reveals the first three community cards (the flop). If you haven’t bet yet, you can either check again or bet 2x your Ante. The dealer then reveals the last two community cards. If you still haven’t placed a bet, you must either bet an amount equal to your Ante or fold your hand.
Showdown
The dealer reveals their hand and announces its value. To receive an equal payout on your Ante and Play bets, your hand must beat the dealer’s hand. If the result is a tie, these bets push. The Blind Bet only wins if you beat the dealer with a Straight or better.
Dealer Qualification
The dealer qualifies with at least a pair. If the dealer does not qualify, your Ante bet is returned, and the remaining bets are evaluated.
The payout table can be found on the board, while the minimum and maximum bet limits are displayed on the table sign.
