There are several variations of the Hold ‘Em game at Playtech casinos, and it’s mostly Casino Hold ‘Em that makes a welcome appearance. Unlike other forms of Hold ’em, Casino Hold ’em is played between just you and the dealer.
Bets
Minimum bet is £1, and maximum is £100. The game is a variant of five-card poker and you are dealt two cards in rapid succession. Use them along with a five-card flop, to make the best poker hand possible.
Game
The Playtech version is played with a single 52 card deck, after each round, the cards are returned to the dealer and shuffled. This game doesn’t require a high amount of brainpower, as your best hands are automatically drawn forward. In this variation, you can make two decisions – do you think you have the cards to beat the dealer? If so, the dealer must have at least one pair of 4’s in his or her hand. And if you’re feeling lucky, punk, then you may want to place a further bet on the AA bonus pot, which could multiply your winnings substantially.If the dealer has a better hand than you, you will lose both your ante and call bets. However, if the dealer qualifies and your hand is better, then your ante-bet will pay out according to the pay table which can be accessed via the settings.
Overall
Casino Hold ‘Em is undoubtedly one of the more advanced table games, but if you study the comprehensive instructions, you will rapidly pick it up, and with a bit of luck, you could be beating the dealer at his own game. As with all Playtech table games, the graphics are crisp and straightforward, and the animation is smooth and decidedly realistic. In the top right-hand corner, there’s the Settings button, where you will find your game history, options, and help. There’s also a volume control. Click the Help button for complete instructions.
