Live online poker is a form of real-money poker played exclusively on the internet. The additional advantage is that you have a human dealer and real cards. This is the opposite of classic online poker which uses a random number generator (RNG).

As a registered player on our online casino, you log into your account and participate in a game or a live poker tournament broadcasted live from a studio. Once you enter, you see the dealer dealing the cards and interacting with you, giving these gaming tables an unmatched level of authenticity.

The poker game takes place via streaming using HD cameras to broadcast the action. On the other side of the screen, you really feel like you are following the game as if you were there. Additionally, you can communicate with the dealer via live chat.

The benefit of playing on a secure online casino with a Curaçao E-Gaming license like Jackpot Bob is that you are assured of the fairness of the games thanks to regular audits conducted by the regulatory authority. Moreover, an online platform is able to offer different variants, allowing you to try poker games with varied rules.

By being registered on Jackpot Bob, you enjoy our entire game library with roulette, blackjack, baccarat games, and hundreds of slot machines where you can win free spins. For payment, you choose from a selection of banking methods. Your withdrawal request is processed within 24 hours.

In short, live online poker offers a more personal and engaging experience, bringing you closer to the atmosphere of a land-based casino while enjoying the convenience of online gaming. The live casino is a win-win!

The rules, winning bets, and the course of a game—you will learn everything about live poker tournaments by reading the following paragraphs.

The Rules of Live Poker

The basic rules of live poker are quite similar to those of traditional poker, but with some differences due to the live interaction with a dealer. Here are the fundamental principles:

✔️ Card Game: Live poker is usually played with a standard deck of 52 cards, without jokers.

✔️ Poker Hands: You must form the best possible combination of 5 cards. The combinations, from highest to lowest, are: Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, and High Card. A game of live poker is played against the dealer and not against other players.

✔️ Betting Rounds: Your bets are placed in several betting rounds. The first bet is called the Ante, and then the system automatically places an Ante Plus bet.

✔️ Hole and Community Cards: At the beginning of a hand, each player receives two hole cards. As the game progresses, community cards are revealed on the table: the flop (three cards), the turn (one card), and the river (one card).

These rules form the foundation of live poker, a strategic game where psychology is as important as the cards in hand.

The Course of a Live Poker Game

Now that you know more about poker, Jackpot Bob will guide you through the steps to play on our casino and participate in a tournament:

• Placing Bets: before the game starts, you must place the mandatory bets, including the Ante bet. Some tables offer side bets, depending on the variant you are playing.
• Dealing Cards: the dealer, visible via live video, deals you two face-up hole cards and 2 face-down cards for himself.
• Betting Rounds: after the hole cards are dealt, a first betting round begins. 3 face-up community cards are placed in the center of the table, known as the Flop. The betting round continues. There are 2 more community cards to be dealt called the Turn and the River. A betting round occurs after each deal.
• Final Phase called Showdown: if multiple players remain after the last betting round, they reveal their cards. The player with the best 5-card combination wins the pot.

During the game, you can interact with the dealer via live chat. Live poker sessions are generally fast and dynamic.

Extreme Texas Hold'Em

Extreme Texas Hold'Em is a variant of Classic Poker where the goal is to beat the dealer's hand by forming a better 5-card combination.

To help you, you must combine your 2 cards with those placed in the middle of the table. Extreme Texas Hold'Em has a side bet called Best Five. You get additional winnings if your final hand is at least a three of a kind, regardless of the dealer's hand.

Side Bet City

On Side Bet City, you can bet on a 3, 5, or 7-card hand or choose the All Lose option if no hand is a winner. The game takes place in a decor inspired by 1980s Las Vegas.

What stands out in this variant are the side bets. A game for all budgets, as the starting bet is set at €0.50. If this version interests you, take your seat quickly; the table is often full.

2 Hand Casino Hold'Em

With 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em, you can play two hands simultaneously, increasing your chances of winning. Otherwise, the rules are the same as a Texas Hold'Em live poker game at an online casino. Playing two hands adds an extra touch of excitement and strategy to your online poker experience.

Triple Card Poker

In Triple Card Poker, instead of the usual 5 cards, you and the dealer each receive 3 cards. Note that the hand rankings are modified: a Straight is higher than a Flush, which is different from other tables. Additionally, an Ace can be the highest or lowest card in a sequence. Side bets are available, such as Pair or Better and 3+3 Bonus.

Caribbean Stud Poker

Also known as Caribbean Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker is a very popular variant. As with other live poker games, you play against the dealer.

You receive 5 cards, but here the dealer reveals the last card of their hand, which influences your decision. After seeing your cards, you choose to bet by paying double the ante or to fold. To qualify, the dealer's hand must contain at least Ace + King.

Authentic and rewarding game, it offers multiple advantages to those who want to venture into the world of live poker:

• Total immersion: the presence of a live dealer and real-time broadcasting allow you to feel the game as if you were in a land-based establishment.
• Comfort and accessibility: you play from the comfort of your home at any time, without having to travel to a casino.
• Social interaction: thanks to live chat, you can communicate with the dealer.
• Wide range of games: you have access to a variety of tables and betting limits, suitable for all types of players.

• Security and fairness: the games are monitored and regulated, and your transactions are protected.
• Advanced technology: use of state-of-the-art equipment to ensure a smooth and seamless user experience.

These advantages make live online poker an increasingly popular option. Play too, you'll love it!
