Game Rules
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 two hole cards and five board cards, into a winning five-card hand. We offer Limit, Pot Limit and No Limit Hold‘em, so that players of all kinds can enjoy this poker favourite.
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 one face up and two face down hole-cards, and the player with the lowest door card starts the betting for a game with four added board-cards. The best five-card hand takes the pot.
5 Card Stud
5 Card Stud follows the same rules as 7 Card Stud, but has only two hole-cards, and 2nd, 3rd and 4th Streets, which are followed by the River. Up to ten 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 four hole-cards instead of two. Half of these hole-cards have to be combined with three of the five community cards laid on the table in between betting, to create a five-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. A qualifying low hand must have five unpaired cards with nothing exceeding eight, where the winning one has the lowest high card. Players can even try to win both hands!

Collusion
Collusion is when two or more players conspire to work together at the disadvantage of other players at the table, and is considered a form of cheating. William Hill Poker fights all forms of collusion. You can read about our anti-collusion policy here, including how we prevent it. 
Hand Rankings
All poker games abide by a ranking of winning poker hands, and although they may differ a little between the variants, the Standard Poker hand ranking is the one every player needs to learn. You can read all about it here, including the hands themselves, explanations and helpful graphic examples.
