ULTIMATE TEXAS HOLD'EM

Ultimate Texas Hold’em®  features heads-up play against the dealer with optional Trips and Ultimate Pairs side wagers. The earlier players bet, the more they can bet.  A player does not have to fold until they see all the community cards.

HOW TO PLAY

All wagers are made in increments of $5. Players make equal bets in the Ante and Blind circles. Players may also place a wager on the optional Trips Bonus and/or the Ultimate Pairs Bonus. If the Ultimate Texas Hold’em table offers the optional Multi Link Progressive Jackpot, players may wager $5 on this bet after placing an Ante and Blind wager. See details at the table and on the separate guide for the Multi Link Progressive. 

Players and the dealer receive two cards, after which they can either check or bet 3x-4x their Ante in the Play circle. The dealer then reveals the three-card flop. Players that have not already made a Play bet have a choice: check or bet 2x their Ante in the Play circle. The dealer then reveals the final two community cards. Players that have not already made a Play bet have a choice: fold or bet 1x their Ante. The dealer then reveals their two hole cards and announces the hand. The dealer needs a pair to qualify. When the dealer does not qualify, a player’s Ante will push and be returned. All other bets placed will receive action. If a player’s hand beats the dealer’s, their Play and Ante bets win even money. If the dealer’s hand beats the player’s hand, their Play, Ante and Blind wagers lose. If the hands tie, those bets push. The Blind pays if a player’s winning hand is at least a straight. If a player beats the dealer with less than a straight, it pushes. 

The Trips Bet is an optional side bet that pays out if the player's hand contains three-of-a-kind or better, regardless of the dealer's hand. The stronger the hand, the higher the payout, making this bet attractive for players looking for additional ways to win.

The Ultimate Pairs Wager is an optional side bet that pays based on the corresponding pay table and is based off a player’s two individual cards. The player does not need to beat the dealer to qualify for an Ultimate Pairs payout.
