Created by Evolution in partnership with Scientific Games, Live Ultimate Texas Hold’em is the exclusive online live version of the world’s most popular house-banked Texas Hold’em game.
Going head-to-head against the dealer, the player must form a five-card Poker hand (from their own two cards and three of the five community cards) that ranks higher than the dealer’s hand. To start, an Ante and Blind bet are placed. There’s also an optional Trips bonus bet that pays out on a range of Poker hands irrespective of the dealer’s hand.
However, it’s the Play bet that’s central to this game’s huge appeal to Poker players of all kinds, from new players to strategy players. If the player makes an early Play bet they may raise 3 or 4 times their Ante. But if they wait until after the Flop or after the River, they can only raise x2 or x1. With just one raise allowed per game, the earlier the player raises, the more they can risk and win.
Instantly engaging and deeply absorbing, Ultimate Texas Hold’em really is the ultimate Poker variant.
