Side Bet City
Side Bet City is an innovative new poker based card game. If you have ever played online casino Hold’em or ultimate Texas Hold’em, you will have come across Side Bets. In Side Bet City, players bet on whether they will win with 3, 5 or 7 cards to make the best three-to-five-card poker hand.
HOW IT IS PLAYED?
- To begin, players will bet on 3 Card, 5 Card, 7 Card, or any combination of the three. Players may also bet on All Lose. Winning combinations are based on poker hand rankings.
- Once all bets have been placed, the dealer will deal seven cards in total. First, three cards will be dealt to reveal a 3 Card poker hand. If it makes one pair or higher, wins will be paid as appropriate.
- Next, two further cards will be dealt to make a 5 Card poker hand. Should these five cards make a hand of a pair of jacks or better, wins will be paid as appropriate. Lastly, two further cards will make a 7 Card hand that must rank as Three-of-a-Kind or better to win.
- This game is played with one deck of 52 cards that fully shuffles once each game round is completed.
BETTING OPTIONS:
There are 4 online betting options:
- 3 CARD – where your result is determined by the first 3 cards dealt from the deck.
- 5 CARD – where your result is determined by the first 5 cards.
- 7 CARD – where the best 5 cards are determined from all 7 cards dealt.
