How To Play Poker:

Poker is a classic card game which traditionally involves players betting and playing against each other. It can just as easily take place in classy Casino tournament rooms with pots of chips or across greasy kitchen tables with fistfuls of dollars. In poker variations at this online Casino, you will play as a single Player. All of our online poker games are played with a standard 52-card deck. The highest ranking card is the Ace, followed by the King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 in that order. The Ace can also be used as a 1 when it is needed to complete a 5-high straight consisting of A, 2, 3, 4, 5. Five cards of the same suit comprise a flush, but other than that, suits have no specific ranking.

Unlike Blackjack or Baccarat, cards in a hand are not given a point value and then totaled to determine the winner. Rather, each five-card hand is ranked according to a hierarchy, with the order descending from an extremely rare Royal Flush to a very ordinary pair of cards, or less.

Different poker variations will offer pay-outs on specific card combinations such as deuces (cards with a face value of 2), the number of Jacks, Aces, Face Cards (Kings, Queens), or the number of pairs in the final hand. Please refer to the Help files in specific Casino games for details of individual poker variations.

The Poker hands Below you will find the combinations which make up the standard Poker hands.
