How to Play Ultimate Texas Hold’em

THE GAME
Ultimate Texas Hold’em features head-to-head play against the dealer and an optional bonus bet.

THE PLAY
All wagers at ultimate Texas Hold’em shall be made by placing chips on the appropriate betting areas of the table layout. All ante, blind and trips wagers shall be placed, increased or withdrawn prior to the dealer announcing “no more bets.”

Upon placing an ante wager and a blind wager, a player may also place a trips wager by placing a wager on the designated betting area of the layout. The outcome of the trips wager shall have no bearing on any other wager made by the player.

Only players who are seated at an ultimate Texas Hold’em poker table may place a wager on the game. Once a player has placed a wager and received cards, such player shall remain seated until the completion of the round of play.

THE DEAL
Players and the dealer each receive two cards. They combine them with five community cards to make their best five-card hand. Ultimate Texas Hold’em lets players bet aggressively. The earlier they bet, the more they can risk—and win. If players bet pre-flop, they may risk 3x or 4x their Ante. If they bet on the flop, they may bet 2x their ante. And if they wait until the river—when all community cards are out—they may only bet 1x their Ante.

This game also features an optional bet, the Trips Bonus. Players win the Trips Bonus if their final five-card hand is three of a kind or higher. Odds printed on layout.
