Texas Hold'em against other players, at tables that deal themselves. You're not playing the house here - you're playing whoever else sat down, which makes it the one game on the site where skill is the whole story.
How to play Texas Hold'em
Pick a house table from the lobby in the currency you play in, or open your own with a name, a currency, 2 to 9 seats, the blinds and a buy-in range.
Take a free seat and buy in within the table's range. Your chips come out of your balance in that table's currency and go back to it when you stand up.
As soon as two players with chips are seated the table deals on its own: blinds post, and each player gets two hole cards that only they can see.
Bet through pre-flop, flop, turn and river with the buttons under the table. You have 30 seconds to act, after which you check if you can or fold if you can't. Let two turns in a row run out and the table sits you out.
The best five-card hand from your two cards and the five on the board takes the pot. All-ins are split into side pots, and hole cards are only shown at showdown. The next hand deals itself a few seconds later.
About Texas Hold'em
Because you're playing other players rather than a paytable, there's no house edge figure to publish for Hold'em in the way there is for Crash or Mines - your return depends on the table, not on a formula. The site takes no rake from the pot.
The deck order is fixed and hashed before the first card of each hand, and the seed is published when the hand settles, so any hand can be rebuilt and checked from the Fairness panel at the table.
Texas Hold'em FAQ
Am I playing against the house?
No. Hold'em tables are player against player - the house isn't a participant in the pot, and it takes no rake.
What do I play with?
Every table is played in one currency: OSRS GP, RS3 GP or Fire Tokens, and the lobby has house tables in all three. Everyone at a table buys in and is paid in that currency, and your stack comes back to your balance the moment you leave.
Do I have to press anything to start a hand?
No. Once two players with chips are seated the table deals on its own, and the next hand follows a few seconds after the last one settles.
How do I know the deal is fair?
The deck order for each hand is fixed and hashed before the first card. When the hand settles the seed is published, and the Fairness panel at the table shuffles the same deck in your browser and checks every card shown against it.
