Overview
Texas Hold’em Bonus™ Poker is a community card poker game played with one standard 52-card deck on a traditional size Blackjack table. Each player is dealt a two-card hand (hole cards) that can be used along with three or four of the community cards to create a five-card poker hand. If the best possible poker hand proves to be the five community cards, the Players and/or the Dealer may elect not to use their two-card hand and “play the board” by using all five community cards instead. Texas Hold’em Bonus™ Poker is different from traditional Texas Hold’em played in poker rooms. This game is played “heads-up”, meaning each Player plays against the Dealer, and the best poker hand wins. For this reason, all wagers (Ante, Bonus, Flop, Turn, and River) are made before the Player views the cards, each step of the way.
How to Play
The following cards are dealt:
Both Players and Dealers can use the community cards in any combination (3, 4 or all of the 5 community cards may be used) to make the highest ranked poker hand.
