• To place your chips on the table, click in the 'Ante' bet area and, if you wish to place a Bonus side bet, place your chips for that bet in the Bonus bet area.
• The Bonus side bet is optional, but you must place an Ante bet to play the game.
• Every time you click on any active bet area, a chip will be placed in that bet area.
• You may place as many chips as you like on the Ante bet, provided that you do not exceed the maximum stake, which is shown in the table below along with the minimum Ante stake for each currency.
• The total amount you have staked for all bets will be shown in the 'Total Stake' box at the bottom right of the screen.
• If you press the 'Double Bet' button before the Deal, the total bets you have placed so far on both the Ante (and the Bonus, if any) will be doubled.
• Press 'Undo' to undo your last action - so if you have removed a chip from the table, 'Undo' will replace it, or if you have just pressed 'Double Bet' then 'Undo' will remove those chips you just added.

Turbo Bet

Switch on 'Turbo Bet' before you press 'Deal' if you want the cards dealt to be displayed instantly without viewing the animation of the cards being dealt from the shoe.

• The Bonus side bet is optional. It is a separate bet on your hole cards, so the Dealer's hand will not affect it, unless both you and the Dealer each have a pair of Aces.
• You may place as many chips as you like on the Bonus bet, provided that you do not exceed the maximum bonus stake, which is listed in the table below. The minimum stake for the Bonus side bet is 10p).
• Once you are happy with your bets, press 'Deal' to play the game. Once you have pressed 'Deal', you cannot cancel your bets.

• Once you press 'Deal', both you and the Dealer are dealt 2 "Hole" cards each, face down.
• Your cards are then flipped over so they are visible, and you are given the option to continue or to fold (ie. surrender the Ante bet and end the game).
• There are three betting rounds in total after these initial Hole cards are dealt - "The Flop", "The Turn" and "The River". After each betting round, community cards are dealt, from which both you and the Dealer will try to make a 5-card poker hand using a combination of any of the 5 community cards and/or your 2 Hole cards.
• If you wish to continue after the Deal, you must place a second bet on the Flop, equal to double your Ante bet.
• If you fold, the Ante bet is lost and if no Bonus side bet has been placed, the Hole cards are cleared and the game ends without displaying the Dealer's Hole cards.
• However, if you placed a Bonus, then the Hole cards remain on the table and the Dealer's cards are shown before the Bonus bet is settled. (The Dealer's cards are relevant to the Bonus bet only if both player and Dealer have a pair of Aces - see paytable for details.)

• Three community cards will then be dealt face up on the table, this is the flop.
• You now have the choice to place a further bet, or "check" - ie. continue the game without placing another bet.
• If you Play (place a further bet) then a stake equal to your original ante is placed and a new card is dealt from the pack (the Turn card).
• If you check then the new card is still dealt but your stake is not increased at all. (It is possible to check on this bet and still bet on the River in the final betting round).

• Here you have the choice to Play (bet) or to Check.
• If you Play then an extra stake equal to your original ante is placed and a new card (the River card) is dealt.
• If you check, then the new card is still dealt but no additional bet is made.

• All 5 community cards have now been dealt and the result of the game is now known.
• The best 5-card poker hand that you can make out of the 5 cards on the table and your 2 Hole cards will be compared with the Dealer's best possible hand.
• If your hand is better, you win the Ante and Flop bets, as well as the Turn and River bets, provided you did not check on those rounds.
• If the Dealer's hand is better, then the Dealer wins the Ante, Flop, Turn and River bets.
• If both hands have the exact same value then the Ante, Flop, Turn and River bets will all Push.
• If you placed a Bonus side bet, this will now be settled based on the two sets of hole cards.
• The game pays out as per the Payout table (below).
