Getting started
In order to play CasinoEuro Poker you need to be a
registered Casino player and select a Poker alias in the
Poker lobby. The Poker alias will be displayed to other
players when playing poker. The poker alias is unique and
will not be possible to change when registered. The alias
should consist of 2-12 characters and possible characters
are A-Za-z0-9@&._
When you have selected a Poker alias you need to move funds
from Casino to Poker in order to be able to play for real
money. However, you can always play for Poker play money
without moving dedicated funds to Poker.
Select the button Play Poker in the Poker lobby to launch
the Poker application.
How To Play
Poker 4
When you have launched the Poker application, select a table
in the lobby by clicking on it, and then open the table
window, either by double-clicking on the selected table, or
by clicking on the "Go to this table" button in the lobby.
When a table window is open you can simply click on any
available seat to sit down. You will then see a character in
that seat. Enter the amount of Poker real money/play money
that you would like to bring to the table and click on the
"OK" button.
Click on the SIT IN button when you want to be dealt in.
Before the very first hand is dealt at a newly started table,
you will need to decide who will start as the dealer. This
is decided by giving each player a random card face up. The
highest card gets to be the dealer.
Private Tables
How to play at a private table:
There are two types of private tables, private and
unrestricted. The unrestricted version works just like a
regular table except that a player has created it. The
private version is however limited to players that are
accepted by the table owner. You can recognize a private
table in the lobby by the small, red padlock icon next to
it. When you open such a table, you will be prompted to send
a request to enter to the table owner. You can also choose
to type in a short message in the input field if you want
to.
Private Tables Request
The table owner will then receive your request. If you are
accepted, you can then sit down at the table.
How to create a private table:
First select the "Private Tables" tab in the lobby. Then
click on the button marked "Create Private Table". You can
then select from a long list of possible table types. In
addition to this, you can also choose the maximum number of
players, the table restrictions (private or unrestricted)
and the game speed.
There are 3 types of game speed:
• Normal (This is the same as on the standard tables.)
• Adaptive (The time to think is dynamic, and adapts
according to how people have played previously.)
• Turbo (The turbo tables have a shorter time to think, and
are well suited for players that like fast games and have
stable Internet connections.)
Tables that have turbo- or adaptive speed have a small flash
icon next to them in the lobby.
It's optional to write a description of the table. The
description will be shown in the lobby when someone selects
that table.
Just click on the "Create" button when you have chosen all
the table settings, and your table will then be created.
Please note that it may take up to a minute before it's
visible in the lobby.
When someone wants to sit down at the table you have
created, the player must first ask for your permission. You
can choose to accept or deny such requests.
Available Games
Texas Hold 'em
In Texas Hold'em, each player is given 2 pocket cards. The
game continues with a total of 5 community cards face up,
first 3, then 1 after the other. Between each deal there is
a round of betting.
Hold'em is played with two blinds (a bet before the pocket
cards are received). The first two players after the dealer
pay the blinds. The small blind is posted by the first
player and the big blind by the second. In heads-up games,
the player seated after the dealer pays the big blind. The
first two betting rounds are played with the lower limit
while the last two rounds of betting are played with the
higher limit.
Omaha
Omaha is a poker game derived from Texas Hold'em. Each
player is dealt four cards ("hole cards"), which belong only
to that player. Five community cards are dealt face-up on
the "board". All players use three of the five community
cards together with two of their hole cards to make the best
five-card poker hand.
Omaha Hi/Lo
The player with the best five-card hand for high wins half
the pot, and the player with the best hand for low wins the
other half. In Omaha, players must use two and only two of
their four hole cards in combination with three cards from
the board. In the event of identical hands, the high and low
shares of the pot will be equally divided between the
players with the best hands. In the event that no hand
qualifies for low, the best hand(s) for high wins the pot.
For a five card hand to qualify for low, it cannot include
cards higher than 8 or contain any pairs. Aces can be used
for both high and low. When comparing low hands, the winner
is the hand with the lowest high card, thus 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 is
better than Ace, 2, 3, 4, 8. The best possible low hand is
Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Seven Card Stud
In Seven Card Stud, players are dealt seven cards throughout
the course of the hand, but only the best five-card hand
possible for each player is used to determine the winner.
Before a game of Seven Card Stud starts, all players ante a
nominal amount, for example $1 in a $10-$20 game. Each
player is dealt two hidden hole cards and one exposed card.
The player with the lowest exposed card is the "bring-in",
and is forced to make a wager of either a half a small bet
or a full small bet (for example, either $1 or $2 in a $2/$4
game). Action continues clockwise around the table until
betting is complete for the round.
In the unlikely event that all 8 players are still in the
hand on the river, the total number of cards needed for all
the players to receive their own card would not be available
in a standard deck of cards. In this case the river card is
dealt face up on the table and it will be used as a
community card.
Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo
The player with the best five-card hand for high wins half
the pot, and the player with the best hand for low wins the
other half. In the event that no hand qualifies for low, the
best hand(s) for high wins the pot.
Available Betting Structures
Limit
In structured limit games, the only valid bet/raise is the
current limit, for example $5 on the first two rounds in a
$5-$10 Hold'em game. There may be a maximum of 4 bet/raises
in a round of betting. This includes a bet, raise, re-raise
and a cap.
No-Limit
In no-limit, a valid bet/raise must be at least the higher
of the current limit and the last bet/raise. No higher limit
is available, other than the players' credits. No maximum
number of raises exists.
Pot-Limit
In pot-limit, the valid bet/raise must be at least the
higher of the current limit and the last bet/raise. A
pot-limit bet/raise may be at highest the value of the pot,
plus all bets at the table including the current players
call. No maximum number of raises exists.
Tournaments
1. Tournaments will begin according to schedules. Should a
player fail to be logged in at the time the tournament
commences, he or she may forfeit their space at the table.
2. It's not possible to change seats during a tournament,
except when part of the tournament table balancing - see
Multi Table Tournaments section.
3. In a Multi Table Tournament, the seats are assigned
randomly. At a single table tournament the player may select
his or her own seat.
4. During a Multi Table Tournament the button is placed at a
fixed position, in a Single Table Tournament however, the
players are high-carding for the button.
5. The Tournament will end when one player accumulates all
the chips in play.
6. Should two or more players be eliminated on the same
hand, the player with more chips at the beginning of the
hand will be placed higher. If players started the hands
with identical amounts of chips, then both players tie for
that rank and any prizes due to those players will be
distributed equally amongst them.
7. When players that were supposed to post blind in the next
are eliminated, there may be players who get a reprieve from
one of both blinds due to the fact that the button will move
anyway.
8. With only two players remaining, the button will post the
small blind and act first on the opening round.
9. Disconnects:
• By participating in a tournament, a player accepts the
risk of Internet disconnection, due to the problems with the
connection between their computer and the servers, lag or
freeze or some other problem in the player's computer.
CasinoEuro does not accept any responsibility for a player
disconnect except in the case of a server crash.
• If a player loses connection, he/she will have an extra 30
seconds to reconnect on top of the regular time allotment
for acting.
• If a player times out during a hand, whether connected or
disconnected, his or her hand will be folded.
• If a player is not connected before a hand commences, he
or she will be dealt cards and a blind ante will be posted.
There is no rule against choosing to sit out - a player
doing so will continue to have blinds and antes posted, as
well as cards dealt.
10. Unethical play, including collution, may result in
disqualification and the termination of the offender's
account.
11. As players are knocked out, the tournament tables will
be balanced to ensure all tables have as equal an amount of
players as possible. The balancing of tables is done
randomly.
12. A bet and three raises are permitted in structured limit
tournaments. There is no raise cap in pot-limit and no-limit
tournaments.
13. In the event of a server crash, the tournament will be
restarted from the position it was halted. If that’s not
possible, the remaining portion of the prize pool will be
divided between the remaining players.
14. Prizes will be awarded in accordance with the prize
list.
15. Players may not discuss a hand until all gaming action
is finished.
