🂡 How to Play Poker on VEGAS

VEGAS offers several formats: Sit & Go, Cash Games, Tournaments, and Crash Poker. All follow the same base rules: No-Limit Texas Hold’em.

If you're new to poker, or just need a quick refresher, this page will get you ready to play.


♠️ The Basics of Texas Hold’em

Each player is dealt 2 private cards (known as "hole cards"). Five community cards are placed face-up on the table. Players use any combination of their 2 hole cards and the 5 community cards to form the best 5-card poker hand.

The game consists of 4 betting rounds:

  1. Pre-flop – after the hole cards are dealt

  2. Flop – after 3 community cards are revealed

  3. Turn – after the 4th community card is revealed

  4. River – after the final (5th) card is revealed

At the end, the best hand wins the pot — unless all opponents fold before showdown.
