Casino Hold'em Poker Review | Best UK Licensed Playtech Live Casinos

Playtech's Casino Hold'em is a 5-card poker variant with a single betting position and an RTP of 99.18%. The player and the dealer both receive 2 cards of their own and a total of 5 community cards they can use to create valid poker hands.

One can additionally place AA side bet which wins if the first 5 cards (two of the players and three community cards) contain a pair of Aces or better. Royal Flush pays the highest prize of 100:1 for both Ante and the side bet. The game plays with a single deck which is reshuffled after each round, and the dealer qualifies with a pair of 4's or higher.

Casino Hold'em is streamed in the usual high quality typical of all Playtech live games, and their standard interface used to offer multiple options in a user-friendly manner. Menu at the bottom allows players to choose between two camera views, adjust volume, switch to full screen mode, review game rules and access settings.

One can communicate with the dealer via Live Chat window and tip them by placing chips at the appropriately marked spot. Playtech's Casino Hold'em table at BGO Live accepts bets of £0.5 to £25.

Live 5-card poker variant with 2 cards dealt to each hand and 5 community cards
Dealer qualifies with a pair of 4's or higher
AA side bet wins with a pairs of Aces or higher and pays up to 100:1 for Royal Flush

Playtech's Live Casino Hold'em is not necessarily on par with Evolution's variant, but I'd still say it's one of the better executions. Streaming quality is high, the interface offers just about enough options without cluttering up the screen, and a side bet has been included to increase the game's win potential. The environment itself could have been made more appealing and realistic, and dealers seem to be a bit less communicative than one might expect.
