Ultimate Texas Hold’em® features heads-up play against the dealer. This exciting game gives you several advantages, including:
- The earlier you bet, the more you can bet.
- You don’t have to fold until seeing all the community cards.
GETTING STARTED
Make equal bets in the Ante and Blind circles. You may also make the Multi-Link Progressive, Trips and/or Ultimate Pairs Bonus bets. You will then receive 2 cards.
BET BIG... OR SMALL... OR NOT AT ALL
When you get your 2 hole cards, you can either check or bet 3X or 4X your Ante. The dealer then reveals the 3-card flop. If you haven’t already made a play bet, you have a choice: check or bet 2X your Ante. The dealer then reveals the final 2 community cards. If you haven’t already made a play bet, you have a choice: fold or bet 1X your Ante.
WINNING & LOSING
The dealer then reveals their 2 hole cards and announces the hand. If your hand beats the dealer’s, your play and Ante bets win even money. If the dealer’s hand beats yours, your play, Ante and Blind wagers lose. If you tie, those bets push. The Blind pays if your winning hand is at least a straight. If you beat the dealer with less than a straight, it pushes.
