Tequila Poker

General Description of Tequila Poker

A standard 52-card deck without jokers is used for Tequila Poker. Cards should be shuffled before a deal.

The goal is to predict whether a poker combination will be formed or the minimum number of points will be collected. Therefore, the player should make a side bet on a particular outcome. It is also possible to fold.

Payouts in both cases are made according to established odds from the different tables. In the first case, the payout depends on the formed combination. In the second case, the payout is determined by the number of points.

At brick-and-mortar casinos, customers receive cards directly. If several users are sitting at the table, they can not communicate with each other.

Tequila Poker Gameplay

Initially, the client makes an ante by placing chips on the special field. Then, the croupier deals four cards face up. After evaluating the situation, the player makes one of three possible decisions:

• The player can fold and lose his ante.
• The player can make a bet called High Tequila equal to the ante.
• The player may make a Tequila Poker bet equal to the ante.

In the first case, the dealer takes the initial client's bet, and the deal is over. If the user makes one of the two side bets, the game continues. The croupier deals two cards, and checks for the presence of any combination or counts points (depending on the type of bet).

• The High Tequila bet wins if six cards have at least forty-six points. Points are counted based on the card values like in blackjack. Aces always bring eleven points.
• The Tequila Poker bet wins if the poker hand of at least a pair of aces is formed. The best five cards in this situation are considered, allowing users to create the most valuable hand.

If the client fails, both bets are lost.

Payouts in High Tequila

If the player selects the High Tequila option and wins, his ante is paid according to the odds of 1:1, and the payout for the side bet is calculated depending on the number of points according to such multipliers:

• 46-48 - 1:1
• 49 - 2:1
• 50 - 3:1
• 51 - 4:1
• 52 - 7:1
• 53 - 15:1
• 54 - 200:1

In some clubs, the calculation is made with other multipliers. For example, according to those who have played at some casinos in Las Vegas, 52 points are paid 5:1.

Payouts in Tequila Poker

If the client makes a side bet on the hand formation, winnings are calculated in the following way:

• A pair of aces - 1:1
• Two pairs - 2:1
• Three of a kind - 3:1
• Straight - 5:1
• Flush - 7:1
• Full house - 8:1
• Four of a kind - 15:1
• Straight flush - 50:1
• Royal flush - 200:1

But the multipliers may vary at different casinos.
