How to play Casino Hold'em?
Place an ante. Get 2 cards and see 3 community cards (flop). Decide: Call double the ante, or Fold and lose only the ante. If Call — Turn and River are revealed, and if your hand beats the dealer, you get paid.
Casino Hold'em — Complete Guide to Playing vs the Dealer

- Play vs the house — not other players
- One decision after the flop: double Call or Fold
- AA+ bonus payouts on pair of aces or better
- Relatively low house edge (~2.16%) with correct strategy

Dealer payouts and dealer qualification
The dealer only "qualifies" with pair of 4s or better. If not — ante returns 1:1 and Call pays per paytable (pair 1:1, straight 1:1, flush 2:1, full house 3:1, quads 10:1, straight flush 20:1, royal 100:1).
Optimal strategy — when to Call
Simple rule: always Call except when your hand is particularly bad after the flop (no pair, no draw, no matching overcards). Fold only ~18% of the time. Mindless calling increases house edge by 3%.
Side bet — AA Bonus
Optional side bet paying on starting hand: 7:1 on pocket aces, up to 1000:1 on royal. Higher house edge — not recommended for solid players.

Difference between Casino Hold'em and regular Texas Hold'em
Regular Texas Hold\'em is against other players with 4 betting rounds. Casino Hold\'em has one decision (Call/Fold) and you play against the house. Faster but not long-term profitable — built-in house edge.
