Pacific Hold'Em Poker

Poker has never been more exciting or easier to play. May the best hand win!

If your hand beats all of your on-screen opponents' hands, you win. Got great cards? Raise your bet by $2 increments and you could win even more.


When is the draw?

Played daily, with a new draw every 6 minutes. The first draw starts at 11:02 a.m. and the last draw ends at 2:00 a.m.


How to play

  1. Get a 2-card hand for $2.
  2. Choose how many hands to play per draw (up to 5).
  3. Choose how many consecutive draws you want to play (up to a 5).
  4. Got good cards? You can raise your bet to $4, $6, $8 or $10. If you win, each $2 raise gives you an extra share of the prize pot (amount depends on the numbers of players participating).

Pacific Hold'Em Poker is available at bars and pubs.


What are the prizes?

The Bad Beat Jackpot is a separate, progressive jackpot that continues to grow until it's won.
