Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker

Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker is an Evolution live poker game where you play your hole cards and the community cards against the dealer's hand. It takes elements from Casino Hold'em and Ultimate Texas Hold'em and adds a Bonus side bet that pays on strong starting hands, up to 1000:1 when both you and the dealer hold pocket aces.

Stakes run from 0.50 € to 1000 €. The Ante is the only required bet, the optional Bonus is settled whatever happens in the main hand, and further bets can be added as the board develops. It suits poker players who enjoy making decisions at several stages of a hand and like a side bet tied to their opening cards.

Place the Ante when betting opens, plus the Bonus bet if you want it. You receive two cards face up; the dealer's two are face down. Based on your cards, fold or continue by betting 2x the Ante. If you fold, any Bonus bet is still settled at the end of the round.

Three community cards are dealt. You can then check or bet 1x the Ante, with further betting decisions on the turn and river. Finally, the dealer reveals both cards and makes the best five-card hand with the board.

Ante, Play and the turn and river bets pay 1:1. Bonus bet, based on your two hole cards:

• A-A for you and the dealer: 1000:1
• A-A for you only: 30:1
• A-K suited: 25:1
• A-Q or A-J suited: 20:1
• A-K unsuited: 15:1
• K-K, Q-Q or J-J: 10:1
• A-Q or A-J unsuited: 5:1
• Any pair from 10-10 down to 2-2: 3:1

The dealer works at a table in an Evolution studio with two other tables and dealers in the background, and the software clearly shows when bets open and close. Cards appear on the left of the screen and on the table, and the final hand is highlighted. Players can chat with the dealer and change the stream quality.

Built in HTML5, the game runs on desktop, tablets and phones in portrait or landscape, with Ante and Bonus spots on the table.
