| Texas Hold’em Texas Hold’em is the Poker world’s most popular variant, and is therefore a great place to start. It involves each player turning 2 hole cards and 5 board cards, into a winning 5-card-hand. We offer Limit, Pot-Limit and No-Limit Hold’em, so that players of all kinds can enjoy this Poker favorite. |

| 7 Card Stud 7 Card Stud is the Las Vegas game-of-choice, and is suited to those who are up for a challenge. Players receive 1 face-up and 2 face-down hole-cards, and he/she with the lowest door card starts the betting for a game with 4 added board-cards. The best 5-card-hand takes the pot. |
|
| 5 Card Stud 5 Card Stud follows the same rules as 7 Card Stud, but has only 2 hole-cards, and 2nd, 3rd and 4th Streets, which are followed by the River. Up to 10 players can take part in each 5 Card Stud game, making it a great source of friendly Poker competition. |

| Omaha High Omaha High is an exciting variation of Texas Hold’em, which uses 4 hole-cards instead of 2. Half of these hole-cards have to be combined with the 3 of the 5 community cards laid on the table in between betting, to create a 5-card-hand that takes the pot in the showdown. |

| Omaha Hi/Lo In Omaha Hi/Lo, players have the unique opportunity to build both the highest and lowest hand, which together share the pot.
