Rules of the Game

• Under standard rules, the house edge of Ultimate Texas Hold'em is 2.18%, when defining house edge in terms of the ante bet (not the total ante + blind initial bet). The house edge per full initial bet (ante + blind) is 1.09%.
• So at 20 hands per hour it would take approximately 12,500 hours of play to reach the expected house edge. That breaks down to 520 days of 24hr a day play, almost 1 1/2 years of continuous play. Even if we estimated 30 hands per hour that would be 8,333 hours of play or almost one year of 24 hour continuous play.

Ultimate Texas Hold ’em features heads-up play against the dealer and an optional bonus bet. This game gives you several advantages.

• The earlier you bet, the more you can bet,
• You don’t have to fold until you see all the community cards
• The Trips bonus pays odds if your final five-card hand is a three-of-a-kind or better.

Getting Started

Make equal bets in the Ante and Blind circles. You may also make the optional Trips bonus bet. You will then receive two cards.

Bet big or Small or Not at All

When you get your whole cards, you can either check or bet 3x – 4x your Ante. The dealer then reveals the three-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 two 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 his two hole cards and announces his 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 (see layout for odds). If you beat the dealer with less than a Straight, it pushes.

Dealer Qualifying

The dealer needs a pair to qualify. When the dealer doesn’t qualify, he returns your Ante. All other bets receive action.

Ultimate Texas Hold ‘em is the table games version of the super popular and extremely well known Texas Hold ‘em. Instead of playing against nine opponents, each Player plays against the Dealer and has the option of making a wager on the value of their hand.

In Ultimate Texas Hold ‘em, the earlier the Player bets the more they can wager. Plus, the Player does not have to decide whether to fold or play until all of the Community Cards are exposed. If the Trips wager is bet and the final five card hand is at least three of a kind (Trips), the bet will be paid odds.

The game is starting by making the two mandatory bets, the Play and the Ante, and at this time the Player has the option of making the Trips bet as well. Once all bets are placed the Dealer will deal five cards face down. Each Player will then receive two cards ending with the Dealer receiving two cards as well. After Players check their hole cards, they must decide whether to Check, Play or Fold. If the Player decides to play before the Flop they may bet three or four times the Ante, if they decide to play after the Flop they may bet two times the Ante, and if they wait until all community cards are exposed they may bet equal to the Ante.

Ultimate Holdem Odds

The Dealer must have at least a pair to qualify. If not, the Ante bet is returned to the Player and all other bets must face the Dealer. If the Dealer’s hand beats the Player’s hand, the Play, Ante, and Blind wagers lose. If the Player and the Dealer tie the three main game bets push.
