From Dublin to Durban and Chicago to Christchurch they’re playing Texas Hold’Em and it has replaced the famous 7 card stud as the most popular game in US Casinos.
Born in Robstown, Texas in the early 1900s Texas Hold’Em was introduced to Las Vegas in 1967 and thanks to recent exposure on television, in literature and online it’s become the most played card game worldwide.
Hold ‘Em is a community card game where each player may use any combination of the five community cards and the player’s own two hole cards to make a poker hand, in contrast to poker variants like stud or draw where each player holds a separate individual hand.
And of course there are variants of Texas Hold’ Em such as Texas Hold’Em bonus which uses the core principle but adds an attractive twist.
In Texas Hold’ Em bonus all you have to do is beat the Dealer’s hand to win, and crucially you control the betting.
To top it all, this game offers a hot side bet that can pay out over 1,000 times the initial bet. If you thought Texas Hold’Em couldn’t get any hotter- you were wrong!
BONUS
As well as beating the dealer, you can maximize your earning on Texas Hold’Em bonus by taking the bonus side bet.
Place a bet on the optional Bonus side bet to be eligible for a win based on your two hole cards. If these two cards match one of the outcomes in the pay table, then you win the corresponding award.
A-A (Player and Dealer): If your hole cards are a pair of Aces and the Dealer’s hole cards are a pair of Aces, then you win this top award which is in addition to the award for getting a pair of Aces as your hole cards. This means you win the top two awards in the pay table at the same time!
A-A (Player): If your hole cards are a pair of Aces, then you win this award.
