Casino Hold 'Em

Casino Hold ‘Em is a variation of five-card poker. You are dealt two cards, and you must use them along with the five-card flop to make the best possible poker hand.

The AA side bet is optional. Here, you bet on whether the first five cards dealt (your two cards plus the first three flop cards) will include a pair of Aces or better.

The best possible hand is formed for you automatically.

Casino Hold 'Em is played with a single 52-card deck. After each round, used cards are returned to the deck and the deck is shuffled.
