How to Play Casino Hold’em & Gameplay

Casino Hold’em follows the gameplay rules of the Texas Hold’em poker card game popularised in land-based casinos. It’s an exciting variant of five-card poker available at online casino sites where you play against the house rather than fellow players.

Casino Hold’em is played with a single deck of cards. Your objective is to beat the dealer’s hand by getting the best possible 5-card hand using the 2 cards dealt to you and the 5 community cards on the table.

As with standard poker games, place your ante bet to start. The dealer deals from the card deck 2 face-up cards to you, 2 face-down hole cards for themselves, and 3 face-up community cards.

The betting round now starts, and you must choose whether to play 2x or fold. If you fold, you lose your ante bet. Once you’ve played, the dealer deals out the final 2 cards to the river and reveals their own cards to compare, and payouts are awarded.
