Poker has been gaining popularity in Iran, and the mobile version of the game has been a more comfortable and safer way of experiencing the thrill of the game. Poker is a card game that combines strategy, skill, and luck and is played by up to 10 players. This game is all about increasing one's odds to win by paying attention to the cards in their own hand and the ones that the other players are holding. However, the rules of the game may vary slightly depending on the version of the game. The basic rules of the game and the ones that are typically used in Iranian mobile casinos are listed below:
- The game begins with each player being dealt two cards face-down (known as hole cards, private cards, or pocket cards).
- There follows a round of betting, where each player puts chips in the pot, to either call, raise, or fold.
- After the first betting round, three community cards (the flop) are dealt face-up on the table. This is followed by another round of betting.
- After the second betting round, the fourth community card (the turn) is dealt face-up on the table. This is followed by another round of betting.
- After the third betting round, the fifth community card (the river) is dealt face-up on the table. This is followed by the final betting round.
- At the end of the last betting round, the players that remain in the game reveal their hole cards and the best five-card poker hand wins the pot.
