 Play NOW BeTheDealer Casino BeTheDealer Poker How to play this game The player places an initial wager (ante), and receives five cards face up. The dealer also receives five cards; four cards face down and the final card face up. Now it's the player's turn to decide to stay in the game (raise) or fold. If the player decides to "raise", he/she must place an additional wager, exactly twice the initial "ante" wager. If the player decides to fold, he/she forfeits the "ante" wager. After the player has made his/her decision whether to raise or fold, the dealer reveals the remaining four cards. The dealer must "qualify" to play by receiving a poker hand consisting of an Ace/King or higher.
If the dealer's hand does not qualify, the player receives a 1 to 1 payout (even money) on his/her "ante" wager, and the "raise" wager is retuned without additional winnings. If the dealer's hand qualifies, the dealer compares his/her cards to the player's cards. If the player's hand is higher in rank than the dealer's hand, the player wins and receives a 1 to 1 payout on the "ante" wager, plus winnings on the "raise" wager, according to the payout table below.
If the dealer's hand is higher in rank than the player's hand, the player loses both "ante" and "raise" wagers.
If the dealer's hand and the player's hand "tie" (all five cards are identical in rank - suits are not considered), the "ante" and "raise" wagers are both pushes, and the bets return to the player.
