How to Play Poker - Basic Rules

Most crypto poker games start with an ante bet, which is a mandatory stake. You'll now be given your cards and decide how you want to continue. Options in a poker game include check (pass action without betting), call (match a bet), raise (increase the wager), or fold (exit the hand).

Popular Hold'em style games have community cards that are revealed one at a time over betting rounds, covering the flop, turn, and river. This allows players to build a potential five-card hand. Games such as three-card poker and stud poker have fixed hands with no community cards. This means you hold the cards you build a hand with.

Hand rankings run from high card (the lowest) through one pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush, and finally the royal flush as the highest possible outcome. It is essential to know and understand these rankings before you play, even if most RNG games handle winning hands automatically.

How to Play Poker - Advanced Tips

Poker is interesting in the casino world because it allows you to use some strategy and skill. You cannot control the cards, but you can make decisions that may boost your chances of success.

1. In Casino Hold'em poker, the main decision is whether to fold or call once you see your cards. Strategy charts keep it simple by advising you to continue when you have strong hands and fold with weaker combinations.
2. Understanding pot odds is more of an expert-level tip because it allows you to weigh up payout vs chances of winning. If the pot/payout is small and your hand is weak, folding will be the best option. If the pot/payout is high, it may be worth playing decent hands.
3. Side bets like Pair Plus can be tempting due to large payouts, but they come with a higher house edge. You shouldn't play these bets every round, and most players ignore them completely unless playing them for fun.
