GENERAL POKER INFORMATION

Players who wish to be seated at a game should register with the Poker room staff, located at the entrance to the poker area. If there are no seats available, the poker room supervisor will maintain a waiting list of Players wishing to be seated. Players may request to be listed on as many games as they wish. When seats become available in a particular game, Players will be called upon, first-come, first-served.

All games at Hollywood Casino are "table stakes" games. A Player must first buy-in for the minimum amount (but not higher than) stated on the table play card. The Player may draw down from the buy-in amount as the game progresses; however, the stake must remain openly visible on the table or it may not be considered a stake. A Player may not remove any part of their stake from the table once it has been part of the table unless that Player is quitting the game. Players may remove small amount from their stake for the purpose of incidentals so long as it does not substantially alter their stake. Players may not add to their stake during a hand.

All games are a 52-card deck; a joker is not used. The ranking of hands from highest to lowest is:

Poker Rank of Hands
After the final betting is completed, each Player will select the best five cards from their hand according to the following table which lists the ranking of hands for high poker.

  1. "ROYAL FLUSH" - five cards of the same suit consisting of an ace, king, queen, jack and ten.
  2. "STRAIGHT FLUSH" - five cards of the same suit in sequence. An ace high Straight Flush is a "Royal Flush," which is the highest of the straight flushes; while an ace, two, three, four and five is the lowest ranked straight flush.
  3. "FOUR OF A KIND" - four cards of the same rank, regardless of suit.
  4. "FULL HOUSE" - three cards of the same rank and two cards of the same rank.
  5. "FLUSH" - any five cards of the same suit.
  6. "STRAIGHT" - five cards in sequence, regardless of suit; with an ace, king, queen, jack and ten being the highest ranking straight and an ace, two, three, four and five being the lowest ranking straight.
  7. "THREE OF A KIND" - three cards of the same rank, regardless of suit.
  8. "TWO PAIR" - two cards of the same rank and two different cards of equal rank.
  9. "ONE PAIR" - two cards of the same rank regardless of suit.
  10. "HIGH HAND" - the rank of a hand containing no pair is determined by the highest ranking card (or cards) in the Player's hand.

The ranking of the cards used in low poker, for the determination of winning hands, in order of highest to lowest shall be: Ace, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, jack, queen, and king. All suits shall be considered equal in rank. The ranking of a low poker hand as determined by the holding of a full five card hand shall be the opposite of the ranking's for a high poker hand; provided, however, that straights and flushes shall not be considered for purposes of determining a winning hand at low poker.

By taking a seat at a poker table, Players agree to conduct themselves with appropriate behavior and to abide by the rules of conduct and play as stated here. In instances where disputes may arise, the decision of the poker room supervisor is final. Should any player behave in a manner that would improve another Player's chances, or communicate in any way to another Player that might result in improving that Player's chances or another Player's chances, they shall be asked by poker room management to leave the game.
