Texas Holdem Video Poker
Here, we have a video poker version of the Texs Hold'em game. It is totally free and you do not need to register to play. The thing we are proud of here, is that we do not insult you with pop-up adverts, we do not ask for your email and we do not spam you.
Texas Holdem background
As one of the most popular poker variants, Texas Holdem is played in online and land based casinos across the world, continuously gaining hordes of devotees ever since it first appeared on the gambling scene in the early 20th century. The game spread throughout the state of Texas like a tornado, and although extremely popular in its own birthplace, it did not reach the gambling El Dorado, Las Vegas, until the late 60s, when a group of Texan players introduced the game to the gambling community of Nevada.
Texas Holdem objective
Just like in all other forms of poker, the goal of Texas Holdem players is to win the Pot – the chips that are contributed by all the players at the table. After the Hole cards are dealt, the player can Check, Bet or Fold, or give up and lose the initial bet. The Flop cards are then dealt, followed by the Turn as soon as the new round of betting is over.
The final stage of the game begins when the River is dealt. The player who are still in the game reveal their hands and whoever has the highest ranking hand, takes the Pot.
Texas Holdem Video Poker version and its advantages
This version is considerably less stressful than an actual Texas Holdem table for two reasons – the only opponent that you have is an automated machine and the betting limits are significantly lower than at the real Texas Holdem table.
Another advantage of the Video Poker version is that the pace of the game is established by the player, which means that people who are yet to improve their Poker skills will find Texas Holdem Video Poker a perfect practising platform.
If, on the other hand you are not trying to brush up on your Texas Holdem knowledge or improve your strategic skills, the Video Poker is still an optimal choice for those who are merely trying to unwind and have some fun playing a few hands of poker – and what better way to do that then with the machine doing all the heavy lifting for you, such as processing the data and ranking your hand against the payout table.
Where can I play Texas Holdem?
Anywhere from online gaming sites and casinos, to Atlantic City, Las Vegas Strip and literary any public place that offers Video Poker machines.
Of course, things were not as simple in the beginning and Golden Nugget casino was the only venue that used to offer Texas Holdem. A lot has changed since and nowadays it seems impossible that there was once a time when this game was not around every corner and under every online casino’s Video Poker category.
Ultimate Texas Hold’em is the most popular of the games that came out due to the poker boom. Most mid-sized and large Las Vegas casinos spread it. Many have multiple tables. Limits start at $2 at Jerry’s Nugget, located just north of downtown Las Vegas. Most casinos spread it with a $5 minimum bet. Some higher end ones require $10.
Ultimate Texas Hold’em is played like the one in Las Vegas poker rooms. Players start by making an Ante and Blind bet. The two bets must be equal. There are also two side bets at most Ultimate Texas Hold’em tables. One is a progressive, while the other is a simple bonus hand.
The progressive will pay on either flopping a royal flush or making one out of the seven cards. The flopped royal flush jackpot will often pay more than $100,000, while the royal flush on seven cards typically hits before the jackpot gets higher than $15,000.
The side bets are optional. Only the Ante and Blind bets are mandatory.
#3 – Three of the community cards are displayed. This is known as the flop. There is another chance to bet before the last two cards are shown, known as the turn or river.
#4 – Once all the cards are exposed, the dealer’s hand is shown. Its strength is determined and compared to the other player’s hands. The dealer must have at least a pair to qualify. If the board pairs, this qualifies as a dealer opener.
If the dealer does not qualify, the Ante pushes. The Raise bets will play. If the player beats the dealer, the Ante (if the dealer qualifies) and raises are paid. If the dealer beats the player, the Ante and Raise bets lose. If the dealer and player have the same hand, the player pushes.
The Blind bet pushes unless the player makes a straight or higher. It then pays based on the chart.
