How to Play Ultimate Poker

I must beat the Bank, represented by the dealer, by obtaining the best combination of 5 cards, using my 2 cards in conjunction with the 5 community cards.

With a maximum of 7 players at the table, I have only one hand and cannot bet on vacant spots.CombinationsHigh Card or Strong CardAbsence of the following combinations, but consideration of the value of the highest cardPair2 cards of identical face valueTwo Pairs2 sets of 2 identical value cardsThree of a Kind3 cards of identical face valueStraight5 cards in a sequence of values, but not of the same suitFlush5 cards of the same suit (Diamonds, Spades, Hearts, Clubs)Full HouseCombination of a Three of a Kind and a PairFour of a Kind4 cards of identical face valueStraight Flush5 cards in a sequence of the same suitRoyal Flush (the best hand!)Straight of the same suit obtained by the combination: 10, Jack, Queen, King and AceGame FlowTo participate in the game, I must bet an equal amount on the BET and BLIND boxes. At my convenience, I can also bet on the BONUS box.

The dealer will deal me two face-down cards, then two cards for the Bank, also face-down.

However, be careful, if the dealer uses an automatic card shuffler, the order of dealing changes : the dealer will start by placing 5 community cards on the table, all face down, then two for each player, and finally two for the Bank.

After reviewing my two cards, I will then have the choice of :

• Betting three or four times the amount of the BET in the PLAY box ;
• Or checking (CHECK).

The dealer will then reveal three community cards (The Flop).

If I have not yet bet in the PLAY box, I will then have the choice of :

• Betting two times the amount of the BET in the PLAY box ;
• Or checking (CHECK).

The dealer will then reveal two more community cards called TURN and RIVER.

If I have not yet bet in the PLAY box, I will have the choice of :

• Betting once the amount of the BET, in the PLAY box ;
• Or folding (FOLD) ; I will lose my initial bets, except for the one placed on the BONUS box if I have a Three of a Kind or better.End of the Game & Winning HandThe dealer reveals the two cards of the Bank and announces its hand.

• If my hand is higher than that of the Bank, PLAY and BET will be paid evenly ;
• If the Bank has a hand higher than mine, PLAY, BET, and BLIND will be lost ;
• In case of a tie, the amounts of PLAY, BET, and BLIND will remain open.

• The BLIND will only be paid if my hand is higher than that of the Bank and I have at least a STRAIGHT (STRAIGHT).
• The BONUS will be paid from the THREE OF A KIND, regardless of the Bank's hand.

The Bank needs a pair or better to qualify.

If the Bank does not qualify, the BET will be returned to me, then the other bets (PLAY, BLIND and the BONUS) will win or lose as described above.

At any time, I can review the payout reports (see payout table) as they are written on the game table.Payout TableThe payout reports for the BLIND and BONUS boxes are indicated on the game table.
