Raise the Stakes in Casino Hold’Em
Texas Hold’em poker is one of the most popular card games on the planet, and you can now get a slice of that poker action here at BitStarz – with a slight twist, of course. Say hello to Casino Hold’Em where you battle it out against the dealer for the chance to win fame and fortune – do you have the hands?
Fold or Raise? It’s Up to You!
This variant of Texas Hold’em is slightly different in the sense that your two cards are dealt face up, with the flop being dealt at the same time. If you think you have good cards you can double your bet. If you’ve got trash and think the turn and river cards won’t help, you can opt to fold – saving your kitty from being wiped out fairly quickly. Folding is a huge part of the game as it only costs you your original stake, while if you commit and double down, you’re out 3x your original stake – not an ideal situation on a bad hand.
Don’t Be Afraid to Double Down
While doubling down can put you slightly out of pocket should the dealer have a pair of aces up their sleeve, it will return you more money than your original stake. Instead of getting returns on your stake, you get the returns on your doubled down steak – a far better payout than originally planned. There are only two options after the flop, fold or double down, so consider doubling down to grow that kitty faster than ever before!
Pay Attention to the Table Rules
The table rules are written in large font just underneath the dealer, and it’s vital you read them carefully. These rules tell you what a dealer needs to have in order to qualify for a hand. The dealer needs at least a pair of 4s to qualify for the round, so if you’ve got the cards in your favor, don’t be afraid to go to town and double down. However, if all you have is a high card it might be worth folding, especially if there is a pair on the flop – chances are the dealer’s high card could be better than yours – or worse, make 3 of a kind.
Casino Hold’Em is a little different to traditional Texas Hold’em, but the rewards and action is just as good. Payouts remain juicy so don’t be afraid to take the dealer down to the river. As always, don’t forget that every hand you play will earn you points towards the Table Wars leaderboard. Place in the top 30 at the end of the week to win a slice of €1,000. Good luck on the tables, may the cards be in your favor.
