There are 2 live Hold’em Poker tables to choose from…one from the Riga studio, and Soho Casino Hold’em from the Bucharest, Romania studio (pictured).
House rules are the same for both. Player versus casino hold’em poker. An Ante bet gets you 2 pocket cards and a look at the flop.
Call bet (2x Ante) sees the turn, river and whether you’ve beaten the dealer’s hand.
