What is Texas Hold’em?
In Texas Hold’em, each player is dealt two hole cards, and up to five community cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table.
Players make a hand using the best five cards from their seven available cards. They may use both hole cards, one hole card or none of their hole cards.
The game proceeds in the following order:
Preflop: After the hole cards are dealt
Flop: Three community cards
Turn: The fourth community card
River: The fifth community card
Showdown: The remaining players reveal their cards
If all other players Fold, you can win the pot without a Showdown.
What is Omaha?
In standard Omaha, each player is dealt four hole cards.
When making a hand, players must use the following combination:
• Exactly two hole cards
• Exactly three community cards
Unlike Texas Hold’em, players cannot use only one hole card or choose not to use any hole cards.

The requirements for making a qualifying low hand may vary depending on the game format. Please check the rules at the table.

What are Spins?
Spins are fast-paced Sit & Go tournaments, usually played by three players.
A draw takes place before the game starts to determine the prize pool at random. As the blinds increase quickly, Spins may finish in less time than regular tournaments.
Please check the prize pool, buy-in and payout details on the screen before the game starts.
What is a Sit & Go?
A Sit & Go is a tournament that starts when the required number of players have registered. It does not have to wait for a fixed start time.
What is a Side Pot?
If one player goes all-in and the other players continue betting, the pot is divided into a main pot and a side pot.
The all-in player is eligible for the main pot but is not eligible for the side pot created by additional betting after the all-in.
Each pot is awarded to the player with the best hand among the players eligible for that pot.
How are the cards shuffled?
The deck is shuffled at the beginning of each hand. The Fisher–Yates algorithm is used for shuffling, and it is designed to ensure that card orders are selected evenly.
