GAME PLAY
∙Each player begins with the same amount of chips that was established through the chip option screen. The chip amount will be displayed by each player’s number (1 through 6) and will change (up or down) throughout play.
∙On the first hand of the game, the dealer button (yellow circle marked with the letter “D”) will roll around the green table surface clockwise two times and land on a random player. It will then move one space clockwise each time a hand is played. The dealer button will indicate which player is the actual dealer for that hand.
∙After the cards have been dealt for the first round of play, the player immediate left of the dealer will automatically post the “SMALL BLIND” (one ping sound). The player to the immediate left of the “SMALL BLIND” will automatically post the “BIG BLIND” (two ping sound). The player to the immediate left of the “BIG BLIND” has the first option to bet.
∙In each subsequent cycle of betting, the player immediate left of the dealer has the first betting option. Note that there are up to 4 possible betting cycles per round. One cycle equal to the initial bet and 3 subsequent raises.
SMALL BLIND:
∙The small blind is half the amount of the bet on the first card. Example - in a $20/$40 game, the small blind bet is $10. Please note that if it is a $5/$10 game, the small blind is a $2 bet. This is the only time when the small blind is not exactly half the amount of the initial bet.
BIG BLIND:
∙The big blind is the same amount as the initial bet. Example - in a $20/$40 game, the big blind is an automatic $20 bet.
