How to Play Live Casino Hold’em (Playtech)
In Live Casino Hold'em from Playtech users have to collect the best five-card hand using two cards dealt by the dealer and five community cards located on the table. A standard 52-card deck is used in the game. The cards are shuffled after each deal. Customers of casinos do not play with each other, but against the house represented in the form of the dealer.
Detailed rules for Casino Hold'em are described in a
special article in the section Rules. In this review we are going to consider the major features of Live Casino Hold'em from Playtech.
The lowest dealer's hand is a pair of fours. If he has at least this hand and you win, the ante (the initial bet) is paid according to the paytable, and the call bet is paid 1:1. If the dealer does not have a combination, only the initial bet is paid, whereas the call bet is returned to the player.
Payouts for the Ante:
- Royal flush - 100:1
- Straight flush - 20:1
- Four of a kind - 10:1
- Full house - 3:1
- Flush - 2:1
- Straight and lower - 1:1
Players can also make an additional bet on AA. It wins if the first five cards (flop and pocket cards) have a combination of two aces and higher in rank. This bet is paid regardless of the outcome of the main hand according to the following multipliers:

- Straight flush - 50:1
- Four of a kind - 40:1
