Texas Hold’em is probably the most famous form of Poker in the world.

There's no real-money gambling involved, and complete beginners are very welcome.

Our professional croupier will explain the rules, help guests understand their hands and keep the game moving – so all you need to do is take a seat and see what cards come your way.

What Is Texas Hold’em Poker?

Texas Hold’em is a Poker game where players try to make the best five-card Poker hand.

Each player receives two private cards, known as hole cards.

Five community cards are then gradually dealt face-up in the centre of the table.

Everyone can use these community cards alongside their own cards to create their best possible five-card hand.

The challenge is deciding whether your cards are worth playing.

Do you stay in?

Do you raise?

Or do you decide this isn't your hand and fold?

That's where the fun begins.

How Do You Play Texas Hold’em?

Every player starts with two cards that only they can see.

The community cards are then dealt in stages.

The Flop

The first three community cards are dealt face-up in the middle of the table.

The Turn

A fourth community card is dealt.

The River

The fifth and final community card is dealt.

Players use any combination of their two cards and the five community cards to create their best five-card Poker hand.

If more than one player remains at the end, the cards are revealed in the Showdown and the strongest hand wins.

What Are the Poker Hands?

From strongest to weakest, the standard Texas Hold’em Poker hands are:

Royal Flush – A, K, Q, J and 10, all of the same suit

Straight Flush – five consecutive cards of the same suit

Four of a Kind – four cards of the same value

Full House – three of a kind plus a pair

Flush – five cards of the same suit

Straight – five cards in numerical order

Three of a Kind – three cards of the same value

Two Pair – two different pairs

One Pair – two cards of the same value

High Card – if you don't have any of the combinations above, your highest card plays

Sound complicated?

Don't worry – you don't need to memorise them.

Our croupier will help you identify your hand while you're playing.

Why Choose Texas Hold’em for Your Casino Night?

Texas Hold’em brings something different to a fun casino.

Where Roulette creates excitement around the spinning wheel and Blackjack has guests taking on the dealer, Poker introduces a little more strategy, decision-making and friendly competition.

It's particularly good for guests who enjoy learning a game and getting involved for several hands.

And then there's the Poker face...

Can your friends, family or colleagues tell whether you've got an incredible hand – or absolutely nothing?
