Casino Hold'em
How to Play
Texas Hold'em against the dealer. At Betarama, Casino Hold'em puts 2 hole cards in your hand, drops a 3-card flop on the table, and asks one question: are you in or are you out? Call for double the Ante or Fold. If you Call, the turn and river fill out the board and both hands are revealed.
The dealer needs a pair of 4s or better to qualify. Miss the mark and your Ante pays 1:1 while the Call pushes back. When the dealer qualifies and your hand is stronger, the Ante pays on a bonus scale up to 100:1 for Royal Flush, and the Call pays 1:1. With the AA Bonus running alongside, every flop is a chance at a side bet payout from 7:1 to 100:1.
At 2.2% house edge, Casino Hold'em is one of the strongest returning poker originals. The format is clean: one decision point, community cards shared between you and the dealer, and a qualification gate that returns your Call when the dealer falls short. The combination of strong base game returns, a high-frequency AA Bonus, and Millionaire Mode creates one of the most layered poker experiences in the collection.
Side Bets
The AA Bonus fires on the flop — your 2 hole cards plus 3 community cards, evaluated before the turn and river. Pair of Aces or better triggers a payout, and the result is immediate. You know your side bet outcome before the main hand even reaches its conclusion.
AA Bonus
Your 2 hole cards and the 3 flop cards make the evaluation hand. Pair of Aces or better pays, regardless of the main hand. Royal Flush = 100:1.
| Hand | Payout |
|---|---|
| Royal Flush | 100:1 |
| Straight Flush | 50:1 |
| Four of a Kind | 40:1 |
| Full House | 30:1 |
| Flush | 20:1 |
| Straight | 7:1 |
| Three of a Kind | 7:1 |
| Two Pair | 7:1 |
| Pair of Aces | 7:1 |
The flat 7:1 payout across Pair of Aces, Two Pair, Three of a Kind, and Straight means the AA Bonus hits more often than most poker side bets. Premium hands push higher: Flush 20:1, Full House 30:1, Four of a Kind 40:1, Straight Flush 50:1, and Royal Flush 100:1. Every flop carries side bet potential.
Millionaire Mode
Add a $1 side bet for a shot at $1,000,000. Seven cards are evaluated for the spade straight flush: 8♠ 9♠ 10♠ J♠ Q♠ K♠ A♠. Your 2 hole cards plus the 5 community cards = 7 cards evaluated — a natural fit with no bonus cards needed.
| Matching Cards | Payout |
|---|---|
| 7 of 7 — Complete Straight Flush | $1,000,000 |
| 6 of 7 | $3,000 |
| 5 of 7 | $200 |
| 4 of 7 | $15 |
| 3 of 7 | $8 |
| 2 of 7 | $1 |
Provably Fair
SHA-256 locks the deck before your bet. The committed hash is visible pre-deal. After the hand, the raw seed is revealed for verification. Every community card, hole card, and side bet result derives from the committed seed. Casino Hold'em naturally deals 7 cards (2 hole + 5 community), so the Millionaire Mode evaluation uses the exact cards on the table — no additional draws needed.
