Riverboat Hold'em Poker is a poker-based free online casino game found in Mississippi and Indiana. Usually I do all my own analysis for this site. However in the case of this casino poker game the math is by Stanley Ko. The game owner provided me Stanley's report, with permission to publish on this site. I can only independently vouch for the River bet tables. Below are the Riverboat Hold'Em Poker Rules and strategies.
- A single 52-card deck is used.
- Play starts with the player making an ante bet and an optional River Bet.
- The dealer will give each player ahd himself two cards face down. The player may look at his own cards but sharing of information is not allowed.
- The player has the following options.
- Fold: Player loses ante bet. The River Bet (if made) remains active.
- Call: Player must place an additional bet equal exactly to the ante.
- Raise: Player must place an additional bet equal exactly to two times the ante.
- The dealer deals three community cards face up.
- The dealer will turn over his two hole cards.
- The dealer must have a king-jack or higher to qualify. For example, the lowest possible qualifying hand would be K,J,4,3,2. If the dealer does not qualify all ante bets will pay 1 to 1 and all call and raise bets will push.
- If the dealer qualifies and the player has the higher hand then the ante and call or raise bets will pay 1 to 1.
- If the dealer qualifies and the dealer has the higher hand, or there is a tie, then the ante and call or raise bets will lose.
- The dealer will resolve the river bet based only on the poker value of the player's hand. There are four pay tables available from the game maker as shown below.
The following table shows the optimal player strategy according to the player's initial two cards. There is no code for fold because the player should never do so.

Q Poker is an online casino game first noticed at the Lisboa in Macau in August 2007. This online casino portal is very similar to Three Card Poker. The first difference is that instead of having the choice to raise or fold, the player may surrender or call. In both games the player will win half his total bet if the dealer does not qualify, in this case half the Ante bet. The dealer must qualify, and the player must beat the dealer, to be paid premium odds for a straight or higher.

Pyramid poker is a simplified version of pai gow poker, where instead of seven cards, three cards are dealt face down in top casinos. It uses a standard 52 card deck without jokers. The hand rankings are just like in poker except that aces are always high. The dealer deals the player and himself 3 cards, which is arranged into a 2 card hand and a 1 card hand which should be smaller than the 2-card hand. There are no straights or flushes in the 2-card hand, and a higher ranked hand wins in both the hands.
In order to win, the both the hands of the player has to be higher than the dealer's hands. If only one hand is higher and the other loses, then the bet is a tie or push. The players loses his bet if the dealer wins both ways. All copies (equal face value) shall go to the dealer giving the advantage to the house.
There is also the "House Way" in this poker variant that adds more variety in free online casino games.
