The rules of Texas Holdem at Irish mobile casinos are similar to those in the game's traditional variation. Each player is dealt two cards face down known as 'hole cards' followed by five cards that are placed face up in the center of the table. This is known as 'the board'. Players are allowed to use the five cards on the board in addition to their two hole cards to make their highest-ranking 5-card poker hand.
The game begins with two players to the left of the dealer who must make a 'small blind' and a 'big blind' bet respectively. The 'small blind' is usually equal to half the minimum bet while the 'big blind' is generally equal to the minimum bet. This is the basic wagering structure of Texas Holdem at Irish mobile casinos.
