Poker Tournaments Overview

You can play Wild Seat Poker Tournaments Monday to Friday, between 5pm and midnight. 

They follow No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker rules.

How to Play 

As this game follows No Limit Texas Hold'em rules, at the start, each player will be dealt an initial two cards.  

Five community cards will then be dealt in the middle of the table – these can be used by all players. 

The aim is to form the best seven-card poker hand possible using your initial two cards, as well as the five community cards. 

Placing a Bet 

No Limit Texas Hold'em gives you four opportunities to place a bet: 

1. After your first two cards have been dealt 
2. After the first three community cards have been dealt 
3. After the fourth community card has been dealt 
4. After the fifth and final community card has been dealt 

At the start of the round, the first player can either ‘Check’ (do nothing) or place a Bet.  

The following player can then do one of the following: Fold, Call or Raise. 

This continues until all remaining players have made matching bets. 

At the end of the round, all bets will be placed in the pot before the next card is dealt, thereby signaling the next round of betting.  

When the final betting round has come to an end, every player with a matching bet will compare hands.  

The player with the best hand will be awarded all chips in the pot.

In these tournaments, each player is given a random mystery prize in the beginning. 

Possible prizes range from 2x your buy-in to the maximum jackpot prize of 10,000x your buy-in. 

Only the winner will receive their prize.

All other players will see what prize they would have won when they're eliminated from the game.

Tournament Blinds

Tournament blinds increase throughout the game in order to speed it up.

Each tournament starts at the designated time, with all registered players. 

This means that the majority of tournaments are contested by lots of players on different tables.

Game Layout 

As games progress and players , remaining players are moved around to ensure an even number on each table.

As more and more players are eliminated, tables are then removed to keep the remaining tables as full as possible.

This continues until only the final table is left.

The game ends when one player has won all of the chips.
