BETGAMES Poker Betting Rules

  1. Terms
    1. Draw – one dealing of cards which begins when the dealer scans the first card and places it at the first Position (Hand 1) and ends when the dealer places the last community card face-up, announces the winner(s), and puts all the face-up cards back to the deck. Before the start of each draw, the dealer announces the beginning of the draw and shuffles the cards.
    2. Position (Pocket cards – Hand 1-6) – two cards placed face-up on the table. A total of six (6) Positions (Hands) participate in a draw and are numbered from 1 to 6.
    3. Betting outcome – possible interpretation of the outcome of one draw expressed as odds which may change in the course of the draw depending on the change of the mathematical probability of the outcome.
    4. Betting round – time allocated for punter bets to be accepted. A new betting round begins after each change in the gameplay (before and after the Pocket cards are dealt, after the Flop, and after the Turn).
    5. Betting options – list of all available bets to the punters. A full-screen mode may not have the full list of betting options available.
    6. Board – five (5) community cards that every Position (Hand) uses to form the best Combination.
    7. Combination (Hand rankings) – five (5) cards made of two (2) pocket cards and five (5) community cards. See par. 2.4. for Hand strength from the lowest to the highest.
    8. Flop – the first three (3) community cards which are dealt after all six (6) Positions receive their pocket cards and the second betting round.
    9. Turn – the fourth community card which is dealt after the third betting round.
    10. River – the fifth community card which is dealt after the fourth betting round.
    11. Kicker – a card that does not itself take part in determining the rank of the hand, but may be used to break ties between hands of the same rank.
    12. Cut card – a special card used to cover the bottom card so as to prevent it from being exposed.
  2. Betting Rules
    1. Each Position receives two (2) face-up cards. The Board is dealt face-up. Results are determined based on the video stream and scanner data which captures every face-up card placed on the table.
    2. The goal of the game is to form the best five-card Combination using Position’s pocket cards and the Board. The Position or Positions with the highest Hand ranking win.
    3. Draw. The draw is possible in the game if more than one Position has the same Combination. In this case, winnings are paid to all punters who placed bets on any of the winning Hands in any of the betting rounds. All Positions and Hands win and all punters who placed bets on any Hand are paid their winnings if the best hand is placed on the Board.
    4. Possible poker combinations (from the lowest to the highest):
      1. High Card. Any hand that does not form any of the below-mentioned combinations. The Hand with the highest card wins.
      2. Pair. Any two (2) cards of the same rank (two aces, two kings and etc.). If several Hands have a Pair, the Hand with the higher Pair wins. If several Hands have the same rank pair, the Hand with the higher kicker wins.
      3. Two pairs. Any two (2) cards of the same rank together with another two (2) cards of the same rank. If several Positions have a Two pair Hand, the Hand with the higher pairs wins. If two players have the same rank pairs, the Hand with the higher kicker wins.
      4. Three of a kind. Any three (3) cards of the same rank. If several Hands have Three of a kind, the Hand with the higher Three of a kind wins. If two Hands have the same Three of a kind, the Hand with the higher fourth or/and fifth card wins.
      5. Straight. Any five (5) consecutive cards of different suits. Aces can count as either a low card (A-2-3-4-5) or a high (10-J-Q-K-A).
      6. Flush. Any non-consecutive five (5) cards of the same suit. If several Hands have a Flush, the Hand with the higher pocket card(s) used to form the best Hand wins.
      7. Full House. Any three (3) cards of the same rank together with any two (2) cards of the same rank. If several Hands have a Full House, the Hand with the highest Three of a kind wins. If several Hands have the same Three of a kind, the Hand with the higher Pair wins.
      8. Four of a kind. Any four (4) cards of the same rank. If several Hands have Four of a kind, the Hand with the higher Four of a kind wins. If several Hands have the same Four of a kind, the Hand with a higher kicker wins.
      9. Straight Flush. Any Straight with all five (5) cards of the same suit. If several Hands have a Straight Flush, the Hand with the higher Straight Flush wins.
      10. Royal Flush. A straight from Ten to Ace with all five (5) cards of the same suit. This is the strongest poker Hand.
    5. Results of each draw and archive for the broadcasts can be found on the BetGames website.

  5. Special cases
    1. Cancelled draws.
      1. Draws can be cancelled due to technical failures: internet connection problems, technical problems in the studio, or presenter’s mistakes.
        1. Presenter‘s mistakes that can end up with cancelled draws:
          • The balls are not prepared before the start of the draw. The presenter must put the balls in the specified place (machine) so it can be clearly seen that a full set of unmixed balls is used.
          • A ball or balls cannot be seen on screen due to the dealer's actions.
    2. If the sound during the broadcast is lost or the presenter announces the wrong winning sector, the correct draw results are determined by the video broadcast.
    3. If a player cannot see the live broadcast due to technical reasons (no internet connection, no electricity, etc.) but the broadcast can be found in the BetGames draw archive, the draw is deemed to have taken place.
