Ultimate Texas Hold'em
How to play
To play against the dealer, make equal Ante and blind bets. You may also make a Trips bonus bet. This is done before you receive any cards. When you get your two hole cards, you can either check or bet 3X/4X your Ante. The dealer then reveals the three card flop. If you haven’t already made a Play bet, you have a choice; check or bet 2X your Ante. The dealer then reveals the final two community cards (turn & river). If you haven’t already made a Play bet, you have a choice: fold or bet 1X your Ante.
Winning & Losing
The dealer then reveals his two hole cards and announces his hand. If your hand beats the dealer’s, your Play and Ante bets win even money. If the dealer’s hand beats yours, your Play, Ante and Blind wagers lose. Ties are considered a push. The Blind pays if your winning hand is at least a Straight. If you beat the dealer with less than a Straight, it pushes. The dealer needs at least a pair to qualify.
Blind Bet
- The Blind bet wins when the player wins with a straight or higher.
- If the player wins with less than a straight the Blind pushes.
- If the player's hand loses to the dealer the Blind bet loses.
- When the player's hand ties the Blind bet pushes.

Trips Bonus
This is an optional side bet that the Player may wager on. The Player will be paid according to his final hand, regardless of the dealers’ hand, and regardless of when he raises or if he Folds. If the Player wishes to fold, he can still be eligible for the Trips Bonus by tucking the cards under the Trips wager, thus signifying forfeiture of the Ante and Blind wagers.
