This hugely popular poker game is also massively scalable, which means an unlimited number of players can play simultaneously at the table. <\/p>\n
Uniquely engaging, this is the most exciting five-card Poker variant ever! <\/p>\n
KEY BENEFITS<\/h3>\n \n - Two hands for players to bet on in every game round.<\/li>\n
- Added excitement with optional Bonus bet on either or both hands.<\/li>\n
- Play against the house.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
HOW TO PLAY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n \n\n 2 Hand Casino Hold\u2019em is played with one standard 52-card deck, excluding Jokers. One deck of cards is used for each game.<\/p>\n
The objective of the game is to beat the dealers\u2019 hand by getting the best possible five-card hand, made out of the two cards dealt to the players and five community cards.<\/p>\n
Player is dealt two separate hands to bet on and may choose to bet on either hand or both hands. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nANTE BET AND OPTIONAL BONUS BET<\/h2>\n\n
To participate in the game, an Ante bet on either Hand 1 or Hand 2, or on both hands must be placed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nHand 1 is on the right-hand side from the point of the view of the player and Hand 2 is on the left. The dealer will deal the cards in a clockwise direction starting from Hand 1.<\/p>\n
You can also place an optional Bonus bet for whichever hand\/s you have placed an Ante bet on.<\/p>\n
The Bonus bet pays out if a Pair of Aces or higher is dealt in the first five cards (the player\u2019s two cards plus the first three of the community cards).<\/p>\n
You are then dealt your hand\/s: two face up cards to the player and two cards face down to the dealer.<\/p>\n
Three community cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table. The three community cards are common for the use of both the player and the dealer for making up their perspective hands.<\/p>\n
After the dealing of the initial cards, your card combination is displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nCALL OR FOLD<\/h2>\n\n
You must now estimate your chances of winning and decide whether to Call and continue to play, or Fold and lose all bets made on the hand\/s you fold. <\/p>\n
If you wish to continue to play, you must place a Call bet on your hand\/s, which is always double to the Ante bet. <\/p>\n
If you decide to Fold on either hand you will lose the Ante bet for that hand. However, you will still be eligible to win the Bonus bet for that hand, if placed.<\/p>\n
In case you fold a hand, you will still see the remainder of the game played out for that hand, but will not participate for that hand.\n<\/p>\n\n
AUTOMATIC FOLD IF TIME RUNS OUT<\/h2>\n\n
If the decision time is over and you have not made a Call or Fold decision on a given hand, that hand will be automatically folded and you will lose all bets on that hand. The message \u2018Auto Folder\u2019 will be displayed above the virtual cards for the folded hand\/s.<\/p>\n\n
TWO ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY CARDS\n<\/h2>\n\n
When the decision time is closed, the dealer will deal two additional community cards (known as \u2018Turn\u2019 and \u2018River\u2019) and will then turn the dealer\u2019s initial two cards face up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nCOMBINATIONS COMPARED AND WINNER DECLARED<\/h2>\n\n
To find a winner, the best-paying hands are formed and compared for the player\u2019s hand\/s and for the dealer\u2019s hand, using five out of the seven available cards (for example, player\u2019s Hand 1 will be formed from the two cards dealt to that hand plus five of the community cards). <\/p>\n
The dealer must have a Pair of Fours or higher to qualify.<\/p>\nThe player wins if the dealer doesn\u2019t qualify. <\/p><\/strong>\n
The Ante bet is paid out according to the payout table, and the Call bet is returned to the player.<\/p>\n The player wins if the dealer\u2019s hand qualifies and dealer\u2019s hand is lower than the player\u2019s.<\/p><\/strong>\n
The Ante bet is paid out according to the payout table and the Call bet pays 1:1.<\/p>\nThe player loses if the dealer\u2019s hand qualifies and is higher than the player\u2019s.<\/p><\/strong>\n
The player loses both their Ante bet and Call bet.<\/p>\n
It is a Push when the players and dealer have exactly the same hand.<\/p>\nA Push means nobody wins or loses. The player gets back their Ante bet and Call bet.<\/p><\/strong>\n
If the player and dealer have hands of the same type, the one that includes the card of highest value wins (e.g. three Kings beats three Queens; a Flush of Q, J, 10, 9, 8 beats a Flush of 10, 9, 8, 7, 6). <\/p>\n
When the player and dealer tie, the next highest card that is not part of the paying hand (known as the \u2018Kicker\u2019) determines the winner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO PLAY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n \n\n 2 Hand Casino Hold\u2019em is played with one standard 52-card deck, excluding Jokers. One deck of cards is used for each game.<\/p>\n
The objective of the game is to beat the dealers\u2019 hand by getting the best possible five-card hand, made out of the two cards dealt to the players and five community cards.<\/p>\n
Player is dealt two separate hands to bet on and may choose to bet on either hand or both hands. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nANTE BET AND OPTIONAL BONUS BET<\/h2>\n\n
To participate in the game, an Ante bet on either Hand 1 or Hand 2, or on both hands must be placed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nHand 1 is on the right-hand side from the point of the view of the player and Hand 2 is on the left. The dealer will deal the cards in a clockwise direction starting from Hand 1.<\/p>\n
You can also place an optional Bonus bet for whichever hand\/s you have placed an Ante bet on.<\/p>\n
The Bonus bet pays out if a Pair of Aces or higher is dealt in the first five cards (the player\u2019s two cards plus the first three of the community cards).<\/p>\n
You are then dealt your hand\/s: two face up cards to the player and two cards face down to the dealer.<\/p>\n
Three community cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table. The three community cards are common for the use of both the player and the dealer for making up their perspective hands.<\/p>\n
After the dealing of the initial cards, your card combination is displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nCALL OR FOLD<\/h2>\n\n
You must now estimate your chances of winning and decide whether to Call and continue to play, or Fold and lose all bets made on the hand\/s you fold. <\/p>\n
If you wish to continue to play, you must place a Call bet on your hand\/s, which is always double to the Ante bet. <\/p>\n
If you decide to Fold on either hand you will lose the Ante bet for that hand. However, you will still be eligible to win the Bonus bet for that hand, if placed.<\/p>\n
In case you fold a hand, you will still see the remainder of the game played out for that hand, but will not participate for that hand.\n<\/p>\n\n
AUTOMATIC FOLD IF TIME RUNS OUT<\/h2>\n\n
If the decision time is over and you have not made a Call or Fold decision on a given hand, that hand will be automatically folded and you will lose all bets on that hand. The message \u2018Auto Folder\u2019 will be displayed above the virtual cards for the folded hand\/s.<\/p>\n\n
TWO ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY CARDS\n<\/h2>\n\n
When the decision time is closed, the dealer will deal two additional community cards (known as \u2018Turn\u2019 and \u2018River\u2019) and will then turn the dealer\u2019s initial two cards face up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nCOMBINATIONS COMPARED AND WINNER DECLARED<\/h2>\n\n
To find a winner, the best-paying hands are formed and compared for the player\u2019s hand\/s and for the dealer\u2019s hand, using five out of the seven available cards (for example, player\u2019s Hand 1 will be formed from the two cards dealt to that hand plus five of the community cards). <\/p>\n
The dealer must have a Pair of Fours or higher to qualify.<\/p>\nThe player wins if the dealer doesn\u2019t qualify. <\/p><\/strong>\n
The Ante bet is paid out according to the payout table, and the Call bet is returned to the player.<\/p>\n The player wins if the dealer\u2019s hand qualifies and dealer\u2019s hand is lower than the player\u2019s.<\/p><\/strong>\n
The Ante bet is paid out according to the payout table and the Call bet pays 1:1.<\/p>\nThe player loses if the dealer\u2019s hand qualifies and is higher than the player\u2019s.<\/p><\/strong>\n
The player loses both their Ante bet and Call bet.<\/p>\n
It is a Push when the players and dealer have exactly the same hand.<\/p>\nA Push means nobody wins or loses. The player gets back their Ante bet and Call bet.<\/p><\/strong>\n
If the player and dealer have hands of the same type, the one that includes the card of highest value wins (e.g. three Kings beats three Queens; a Flush of Q, J, 10, 9, 8 beats a Flush of 10, 9, 8, 7, 6). <\/p>\n
When the player and dealer tie, the next highest card that is not part of the paying hand (known as the \u2018Kicker\u2019) determines the winner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2 Hand Casino Hold\u2019em is played with one standard 52-card deck, excluding Jokers. One deck of cards is used for each game.<\/p>\n
The objective of the game is to beat the dealers\u2019 hand by getting the best possible five-card hand, made out of the two cards dealt to the players and five community cards.<\/p>\n
Player is dealt two separate hands to bet on and may choose to bet on either hand or both hands. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n To participate in the game, an Ante bet on either Hand 1 or Hand 2, or on both hands must be placed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Hand 1 is on the right-hand side from the point of the view of the player and Hand 2 is on the left. The dealer will deal the cards in a clockwise direction starting from Hand 1.<\/p>\n You can also place an optional Bonus bet for whichever hand\/s you have placed an Ante bet on.<\/p>\n The Bonus bet pays out if a Pair of Aces or higher is dealt in the first five cards (the player\u2019s two cards plus the first three of the community cards).<\/p>\n You are then dealt your hand\/s: two face up cards to the player and two cards face down to the dealer.<\/p>\n Three community cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table. The three community cards are common for the use of both the player and the dealer for making up their perspective hands.<\/p>\n After the dealing of the initial cards, your card combination is displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n You must now estimate your chances of winning and decide whether to Call and continue to play, or Fold and lose all bets made on the hand\/s you fold. <\/p>\n If you wish to continue to play, you must place a Call bet on your hand\/s, which is always double to the Ante bet. <\/p>\n If you decide to Fold on either hand you will lose the Ante bet for that hand. However, you will still be eligible to win the Bonus bet for that hand, if placed.<\/p>\n In case you fold a hand, you will still see the remainder of the game played out for that hand, but will not participate for that hand.\n<\/p>\n\n If the decision time is over and you have not made a Call or Fold decision on a given hand, that hand will be automatically folded and you will lose all bets on that hand. The message \u2018Auto Folder\u2019 will be displayed above the virtual cards for the folded hand\/s.<\/p>\n\n When the decision time is closed, the dealer will deal two additional community cards (known as \u2018Turn\u2019 and \u2018River\u2019) and will then turn the dealer\u2019s initial two cards face up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n To find a winner, the best-paying hands are formed and compared for the player\u2019s hand\/s and for the dealer\u2019s hand, using five out of the seven available cards (for example, player\u2019s Hand 1 will be formed from the two cards dealt to that hand plus five of the community cards). <\/p>\n The dealer must have a Pair of Fours or higher to qualify.<\/p>\n The player wins if the dealer doesn\u2019t qualify. <\/p><\/strong>\n The Ante bet is paid out according to the payout table, and the Call bet is returned to the player.<\/p>\n The player wins if the dealer\u2019s hand qualifies and dealer\u2019s hand is lower than the player\u2019s.<\/p><\/strong>\n The Ante bet is paid out according to the payout table and the Call bet pays 1:1.<\/p>\n The player loses if the dealer\u2019s hand qualifies and is higher than the player\u2019s.<\/p><\/strong>\n The player loses both their Ante bet and Call bet.<\/p>\n It is a Push when the players and dealer have exactly the same hand.<\/p>\n A Push means nobody wins or loses. The player gets back their Ante bet and Call bet.<\/p><\/strong>\n If the player and dealer have hands of the same type, the one that includes the card of highest value wins (e.g. three Kings beats three Queens; a Flush of Q, J, 10, 9, 8 beats a Flush of 10, 9, 8, 7, 6). <\/p>\n When the player and dealer tie, the next highest card that is not part of the paying hand (known as the \u2018Kicker\u2019) determines the winner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GAME OVERVIEW 2 Hand Casino Hold\u2019em is a unique and exciting online Hold\u2019em variant that gives the player two chances to win on two individual hands against the house, plus an optional, easy-to-play Bonus bet for Poker lovers.
