Casino Hold’em by Vivo Gaming

Poker is a great game, but its competitive aspect does not appeal to everyone. Bluffing and reading the intent of other players through a screen is not something everyone enjoys. As a result, many software providers have created poker tables in which you play against a dealer. This is what Vivo Gaming’s Casino Hold’em offers!

The table uses a smooth green colour, and you can zoom in to focus on the cards instead of watching the dealer. You can see other games played behind the dealer, adding to the feeling of a crowded casino. The video quality is incredible, on par with the best names in the industry.

The round begins when you place your bets. You can choose from the available coins, and place them on the Ante and AA bonus wagers. You have twenty seconds to make whatever bet you like, after which the round starts. The dealer plays following pre-set rules.

After all wagers are on the table, the action begins! The dealer will draw two cards for themselves and the player. After that, three community cards will be drawn and placed in the middle of the table. At this point, you can choose to call or fold. If you call, you place a wager worth 2x the ante, and allows you to continue. The dealer draws the next two cards, placing all five community cards on the table.

At this point, the dealer will reveal their face down cards. They must have at least a pair of fours in order to qualify. If the dealer fails to qualify, that is an instant win for the player. Otherwise, the prize is awarded to the person who has the stronger hand.

Vivo Gaming’s release has both a main bet and a side bet. The table limit changes depending on your chosen live casino, but the highest we have seen is $10,000. Do not bet above your budget, as you will need to double your main bet in every round.

Payouts ultimately depend on the strength of your winning hand. For example, just having one pair will result in an even money win. However, if you form a royal flush, then you will receive a 100:1 reward!

The AA side bet attempts to form a viable five-card poker hand from your two personal cards and the first three community cards. To win, you need at least a pair of Aces or better. The minimum payout is 7:1, while the top prize is 100:1 for a royal flush. You can only play the side bet if you have already placed an Ante wager.
