Game Rules

• Objective: have a better hand than the dealer.
• Card ranking from high to low: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
• Minimum players: 2 (1 player plus the dealer).
• Ultimate Texas Hold'em is played with a single simulated deck that is reshuffled after every round.
• Players start by placing equal Ante and Blind bets, along with an optional Trips side bet.
• Two cards are dealt face down to each player (dealer's left to right), then two cards to the dealer, and five community cards face down to the center.
• Players look at their cards and either fold, check, or place a Play bet.
• Folding forfeits all bets placed.
• A Play bet placed at this stage is worth 3x to 4x the Ante.
• Checking passes the decision to the next betting round.
• The dealer then flips over three of the community cards.
• Players who haven't folded or already placed a Play bet may check or place a Play bet worth 2x their Ante.
• Once a player places a Play bet, they can't bet again.
• The dealer then flips the two remaining community cards.
• Players who haven't yet placed a Play bet may place one worth up to 1x their Ante, or fold and forfeit all bets.
• The player's hand and the dealer's hand are then compared.
• The dealer qualifies with a pair or better.
• Hands do not qualify for payout if the player folds.
• If the player's hand beats the dealer's hand: Play and Ante bets pay 1:1; the Blind bet pays according to the strength of the winning hand.
• If the dealer's hand beats the player's hand: Play, Ante, and Blind bets all lose.
• If the dealer fails to qualify: the Ante bet is returned to the player.
• If the final hands tie: all bets push.
• Trips side bet: stays active even if the player folds, and pays based on the player's hand — Royal Flush 50:1, Straight Flush 40:1, Four of a Kind 30:1, Full House 9:1, Flush 7:1, Straight 4:1, Three of a Kind 3:1.
