Ultimate Texas Hold'em Progressive features heads-up play against the dealer, an optional Trips bonus bet and an optional progressive bet. This game gives you several advantages:
- The earlier you bet, the more you can bet
- You don't have to fold until you see all of the community cards
- The Trips bonus pays odds if your final five-card hand is a three-of-a-kind or better
Getting started
Make equal bets in the Ante and Blind circles. You may also make the optional Trips bonus bet. You will then receive two cards.
Bet Big... or Small... or Not at All
When you get your two hole cards, you can rather check or bet 3x-4x your Ante. The dealer then reveals the three-card flop. If you haven't already made a Play bet, you have a choice: check or bet 2x your Ante. The dealer then reveals the final two community cards. If you haven't already made a Play bet, you have a choice: fold or bet 1x your Ante.
Winning & Losing
The dealer then reveals his two hole cards and announces his hand. If your hand beats the dealers, your Play and Ante bets win even money. If the dealers hand beats yours, your Play, Ante and Blind wagers lose. If you tie, those bets push. The Blind pays if your winning hand is at least a Straight (See layout for odds). If you beat the dealer with less than a Straight, it pushes.
Dealer Qualifying
The dealer needs a pair to qualify. When the dealer doesn't qualify, he returns your Ante. All other bets receive action.
