Coliseum Poker

Description and Objective

Coliseum Poker is video poker with a Progressive Jackpot option! To win the Jackpot you will need to place the maximum bet of 5 coins and obtain a Royal Flush.

1.3% of each bet placed in the game is added to a common pot. After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casino contributing a base amount of money. This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in the game right after someone else has won it, you will still get a large win.

Multi-Line Coliseum Poker

Multi-Line Coliseum Poker is played with multiple decks, each consisting of 52 cards. The number of decks is the same as the number of hands involved in the game. It differs from the standard Coliseum Poker in that it has several lines of cards. Each line makes use of a different deck and each line is treated as a separate hand. When several hands are won, your winnings are totalled.

Single-Line Game Rules

To start playing the game, you first need to place a bet.

• Select the number of coins to wager by clicking on the Bet One button. Each time you click on Bet One, the wager is increased by one coin. The column of the pay table that corresponds to the chosen number of coins is highlighted.
• The value of one coin is fixed and is displayed in the Value field.
• The total bet value is shown in the Bet field and equals (Coin Value) x (Number of coins wagered).

Note: To play for the Jackpot you need to place the maximum bet of 5 coins.

• Click on the Deal button to initiate dealing.
• To place the maximum bet of 5 coins, use the Bet Max button. Clicking on Bet Max starts dealing immediately.

Once Deal or Bet Max is clicked, five cards are dealt. The Deal control is replaced by a Draw button.

Note: Cards that form any winning combination are held automatically.

• Click on Draw to replace the cards you don't want to hold. After being replaced, the cards are checked for any winning hand, as listed in the pay table.

The Dealer draws a face-up card and you are dealt 4 face-down cards to select from.

• Select one of the 4 face-down cards by clicking it.

  a) Should you draw a card of higher value than the Dealer's, your win amount is doubled and you can choose either to double again or collect your winnings. If you draw a card of value equal to the Dealer's, your win amount remains the same but you can choose either to double again or collect your winnings. You are allowed to double up to 5 times.

  b) If you choose a card of lower value than the Dealer's, you lose your original bet and the playoff round is over.
