Game Play
1. Initial Wagers

• Players begin by placing wagers on “Ante”. This wager is required in order to receive a two-card hand (hole cards).
• At the same time, Players have an option to place a “Bonus” side bet wager provided they have placed an “Ante” wager on that round of play. This side bet strictly plays against the Player’s hole cards (refer to Bonus Bet payout table) and does not affect Player and House hands comparison for best poker rating.

2. After receiving and examining the 2 Hole cards, the Player may decide to:

• “Fold”, which would result in the Player losing his “Ante” and “Bonus” wagers. If the Player folds, his Hole cards will no longer be in play, and correspondingly, the Player will not be eligible for any payout.
• “Flop”, which requires the Player to place a wager equivalent to twice the value of the “Ante” wager on the betting area marked as “Flop” on the table layout.

3. The “Flop”

• The Dealer shall now flip over 3 Community cards (the Flop cards)
• Player may choose to further wager an amount equivalent to the “Ante” wager, thus increasing his stake.
• Or the Player may choose to “Check”, where no additional wager is placed.

4. The “Turn”

• The Dealer now flips over 4th Community card (the Turn card)
• Again, Player may choose to further wager an amount equivalent to the “Ante” wager. Or choose to “Check”

5. The “River”

• The Dealer now flips over 5th Community card (the River card) and no further wagers allowed.

6. Game resulting

• House’s hole cards will also be dealt and compare against the Player’s hands. The winning hand shall be the higher ranking five card poker hand consisting of any combination of the five Community cards and the Player’s or House’s Hole cards.
• If the Player’s hand is of higher ranking than the House’s hand, the Player wins on the “Flop”, “Turn” and “River” wagers as stipulated in Winning Bet payout table below. 
• If the Player’s winning hand is a Straight or better, the Player also wins on the “Ante” wager. A stand-off occurs on the “Ante” wager if the Player’s winning hand is ranked lower than a Straight. 
• The Player’s hand is ranked lower than the House’s hand, the Player loses all wagers on “Ante”, “Flop”, “Turn” and “River”. However, Players can lose on the base game and still qualify to be paid on a Bonus wager. 
• The Player’s hand is ranked the same as the House’s hand, a Stand-off is declared where neither hand wins.
