Raise 'em Poker
Raise ’em Poker is a variation of Five Card Stud Poker played with a single deck of cards dealt from the card shuffler.
The aim of the base game, Raise ’em Poker, is not to beat the house or other players, but instead bet on the strength of one’s own three-card hand in combination with the two community cards held by the dealer.
Three cards are dealt face down to each of the players who placed a bet on the Ante with another two “community” cards being dealt face down in front of the dealer.
Before the dealer reveals the first of the community cards, you have the option to place another bet equal to the Ante on the area marked “1” in front of you. After the first community card is revealed, you may elect to place another bet equal to the Ante on the area marked “2.” Both raises are optional and you still remain in the game if you choose not to raise.
Once both community cards have been revealed, the dealer checks each player’s hand to see if it qualifies for payment. If the combination of your three cards and the two community cards give you a pair of tens or better, your Ante and raise bets combined will be paid as per the displayed pay table.
The Royal Flush in Raise’em Poker is the ultimate hand, paying out at an exciting 250-to-1.
Raise'em Poker Xtra Progressive
A progress of up to a million rand
The ‘extra’ in Raise’em Poker Xtra, stands for an exciting side-bet that can only be played if the player has already placed an ante bet on the base game. To participate, players must wager on the bet sensors in front of the bet boxes before the deal commences.
The game will carry on as per the regular Raise’em Poker rules and, should the player have a Straight Flush, Four Of A Kind, Full House, Flush or Straight hand, they will be paid out according to the jackpot’s value at that time.
The Xtra bet loses if any other combination is dealt. Jackpots are displayed directly at the table. The top three jackpots increment every time a bet is placed and ‘reset’ once they have been won.
