Texas Hold'em Poker: The
object of the game is to finish with the best
poker hand, and win the pot. Two cards are dealt
to each Player (these are called pocket cards),
and then 5 community cards are deal by the dealer.
The player needs to make the best hand available
out of the total 7 available cards. A round of
betting precedes each community card.
Omaha Poker: Similar
to Texas Hold'em Poker in that it is also a community
game. Players must create the best five-card hand
combination from a total of nine cards. The nine
cards are made up of four pocket cards and five
community cards. This results in stronger hand
combinations. A player's hand must be made up of
2 pocket cards and 3 community cards
Omaha Hi-Lo: A
variation of Texas Hold'em Poker. In Omaha Hi-Lo
Poker, the highest and lowest hands split the pot
equally. 4 pocket cards and 5 cards community cards
are dealt. Winning hands must consist of two pocket
cards and three community cards. A low hand can
only win if all the cards in the hand have a value
of 8 or less.
Five Card Stud Poker: Each
Player is dealt two cards, one pocket card and
one visible card. The Player with the lowest card
showing must bring-in the betting. In the second
round, another visible card is dealt to all Players
at the table. A round of betting follows. This
process continues until each player has one pocket
card and four visible cards.
Seven Card Stud Poker: Seven
Card Stud Poker has five rounds of betting. This
leads to large pots. Seven Card Stud Poker is a
game that requires patience and skill, in knowing
when to fold or call. Each player is dealt three
cards, two pocket cards and one visible card. The
Player with the lowest card must bring-in the betting.
Rounds of betting precede the Dealer giving each
player three more up cards and one more down card.
A final round of betting occurs after the last
card, and the Player with the highest five card
hand wins using any five of their seven cards.
Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo: Seven
Card Stud Hi-Lo Poker is based on Seven Card Stud
Poker, except Players play for two pots - the best
low hand and the best high hand. Seven Card Stud
Hi-Lo Poker has five rounds of betting.
One-On-One Poker: Selected
games in the Multi-Player Poker suite can be played
as 1-on-1. 1-on-1 Poker plays the same as its parent

Poker.

Players are informed when they are seated whether
their buy-in amount is sufficient.
