Poker in the Dominican Republic is regulated by the government, and players must be of legal age before they can register an account to play online poker. The rules of the game are the same, regardless of whether you are playing in a land-based casino or an online casino. The game is normally played with a standard deck of fifty-two cards, including a Joker. The goal of poker is to have the highest-ranking hand at the end of the round.
Players must place an ante before the round begins and then they are dealt five cards, face-down. A round of betting follows. After the round of betting is complete, players must decide whether to fold or stay in the hand. If they choose to stay, they must place an additional wager.
The dealer then reveals three of the remaining five cards. Another round of betting follows. After the second round of betting is complete, players must decide whether to stay in the hand or fold. If they choose to stay, they must add an additional wager. The dealer reveals the last two cards and another round of betting follows. After the last round of betting is complete, players reveal their hands and the best hand wins the pot.
