HOW TO PLAY
No Limit Texas Hold'Em is a fast pace high stakes poker game! The objective is to obtain the best five card combination among a total of seven cards with five community cards common to all players. The challenge is that you’re sharing five of the seven cards with your opponents! “No Limit” means that any player can go "all in" - bet all the credit they have - during any round of bet- ting. High stakes poker has never been so fun. So, let’s get into the game.
Press the ON button to turn on the game. All players start with 5,000 credits in their BANK. You will always play at the same table; however, you will have new players join your table as other virtu- al tables shut down. Depending on the status of the game, you will have up to five opponents who will challenge your ability to get to the next round. The dealer or player who is ON THE BUTTON is randomly selected at the start of a game. Once selected, this status rotates clockwise from one player to the next after each round. The two play- ers sitting to the left of the dealer or BUTTON must pay BLINDS.
BLINDS: Before cards are dealt, the two players to the left of the dealer are required to post predeter- mined forced BLIND/BETS. The player immediate- ly to the left of the BUTTON must pay a SMALL BLIND that is half of the BIG BLIND. The second player from the BUTTON must post the BIG BLIND. Initially, the SMALL BLIND BET equals 20 credits and the BIG BLIND or LOWER LIMIT BET equals
40 credits. As play continues, the LOWER LIMIT BET will increase which directly impacts the value of the SMALL and BIG BLINDS. BLIND payments are automatically deducted from your BANK.
HOLE CARDS: The game begins with all the play- ers receiving 2 cards face-down. Each player can only see his or her own cards.
BETTING (FIRST ROUND) – Considering the first two players, left of the BUTTON, have already BET by paying BLINDS, BETTING continues clockwise with the third player. Players can BET, RAISE, FOLD, CALL, RE-RAISE or go ALL-IN. When it becomes your turn and you’ve chosen your action, press the ENTER button to continue play. Once every player calls or folds the next cards are dealt.
THE FLOP: Three community cards are dealt face- up on the center of the table. Players combine these cards with their own hand to construct the best five card hand possible.
BETTING (SECOND ROUND) - Second round of BETTING again starts with the active or not folded player to the left of the BUTTON. Players can CHECK, BET, RAISE, FOLD, CALL, RE-RAISE or go ALL-IN. Once you’ve decided your action, press the ENTER button to continue play and when every player calls or folds the next card is dealt.
THE TURN: A fourth community card is dealt on the table face-up.
BETTING (THIRD ROUND) - Just like the second round of BETTING, the active player to the left of the BUTTON BETS. Players can again CHECK, BET, RAISE, FOLD, CALL, RE-RAISE or go ALL-IN. Once you’ve decided your action, press the ENTER button to continue play and the next cards are dealt.
The River: One final community card is dealt on the table face-up.
BETTING (FOURTH ROUND) - Fourth round BET- TING begins just like the prior round with the active player to the left of the BUTTON. Players can again CHECK, BET, RAISE, FOLD, CALL, RE- RAISE or go ALL-IN. Once you’ve decided your action, press the ENTER button to continue play. Once all BETTING is complete the showdown begins.
THE SHOWDOWN: The players show their hands. The best hand which is any five card combination of the community cards and player’s cards WINS. The POT will automatically be added to the win- ners BANK. If two or more players have an equal hand the game will result in a DRAW, and the pot will be split evenly. If there is a SIDE POT(S), it will be divided after the SHOWDOWN.
Note: SIDE POT(S) occurs when a player does not have a BANK large enough to CALL previous BETS, forcing the player to go ALL-IN. The addi- tional BETS, above the player going ALL-IN, will go into a SIDE POT(S) that will only be won by the player(s) who contributed. If the player who goes ALL-IN wins, this player will receive the main POT. The other players will evenly divide the remaining SIDE POT(S). However, if a player wins who con- tributed to a SIDE POT, they will win both the main and any contributing SIDE POT(S).
Press the DEAL button to begin another hand of Texas Hold’Em.
