The time is here, the ride is about to start and the fun is about to begin. You can choose poker or any of casino games. All of them require different approaches, but offer the same results – fun, excitement and money. So get started and keep the ride going.

Every online casino features at least 10 versions of the game, so there are two main versions of online roulette, over 15 versions of online blackjack, over 50 versions of online slots and at least 10 versions of online poker. Texas Holdem is played with the standard 52 card deck and with not more than 10 players at a time.

The very first stage of Texas Holdem is the preflop. First two players left to the dealer make the forced bets, small and big blinds. This is made to start betting. Then every player is dealt two hole cards. The round of betting follows. It is started by the next player after the one who made the big blind. As the betting Texas Holdem poker rule states, the players have three betting options: to bet, raise or fold. The round is completed when all the players contributed the equal amount to the pot.

When the betting is completed the flop occurs. Now three community cards are placed on the table. These cards are to be used by the players to complete a good hand together with the hole cards. After the players evaluated their chances the second betting round follows. It always begins with the player who is left to the dealer position.

The next stage of the game is known as the turn. The fourth community card is dealt and the betting round occurs like the previous one.

The last fifth community card known as the river is revealed and followed by the betting round. Note that starting from the second betting round, according to Texas Holdem poker rule, the players get one more betting option – to check. But they can use it only in case the previous player hasn’t made the bet.

When the betting round is completed there is the showdown. The players who are still in the hand reveal the cards and compare the hands. The one with the highest hand is rewarded the pot which is the whole amount of chips contributed by the players in that hand. This sum is usually quite impressive.
