Casino Hold'em rules and house edge
Casino Hold'em carries a 2.16% house edge as of 2026-08-25. Payouts and glossary below come from public sources; venue-specific rule variants are noted on each venue page.
Hold'em played against the dealer rather than other players. Place an Ante, see two hole cards and the flop, then fold or place a Call bet of twice the Ante. The dealer qualifies with a pair of fours or better; otherwise the Ante pays and the Call pushes.

Basic strategy
- · Folding is correct less often than it feels — the Call costs twice the Ante, but folding loses the Ante outright.
- · When the dealer fails to qualify the Call pushes, so a strong hand can pay less than expected.
- · The AA+ side bet is worse than the main game; check its pay table before taking it.
