This Casino Poker variant gives players two chances to beat the dealer. Play two hands at once and try and beat the dealer with one or both as well as multiple Side Bet options.
Generally, the rules of Live 2 Hand Casino Hold'em are similar to that of regular Casino Hold'em. Like Hold'em Poker, the best five-card poker hand wins.
After placing an ante on one or both hands, as well as one or two optional bonus bets, players receive one or two hands, each consisting of two hole cards. The three shared community cards (the flop) are then spread.
At this point, the dealer places a bet. Players can fold one or both of their hands and forfeit any bets they have made, or call the bet with either or both of their hands and see the remaining two community cards. The best hand then wins. If the dealer has not made a qualifying hand - a pair of fours or better – any players still in will win regardless of their own hands.
Call bets are paid out at even-money odds of 1:1, while ante and bonus bets are paid out at odds of up to 100:1, depending on the player’s winning hand.
The theoretical return to player (RTP) for Live 2 Hand Casino Hold’em is 97.84%.
Players must place an ante on one or both hands at the start of each game, but also have the option to place a bonus bet.
Ante and bonus bets pay out at different odds depending on the winning hands made by the player, based on the player’s hole cards and the flop, as follows:
| Hand | Ante Odds | Bonus Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Royal Flush | 100:1 | 100:1 |
| Straight Flush | 20:1 | 50:1 |
| Four of a Kind | 10:1 | 40:1 |
| Full House | 3:1 | 30:1 |
| Flush | 2:1 | 20:1 |
| Straight or less | 1:1 | - |
| Pair of Aces to a Straight | - | 7:1 |
If a player does not call the dealer’s bet, they forfeit their ante and any bonus bets on that hand.
The theoretical return to player (RTP) in the bonus bet for 2 Hand Casino Hold’em is 93.74%
