Firstly, every player is provided with a stack of fun money casino chips. Once the game begins, each player is dealt two cards face down – these are called your ‘hole cards’. We will then go around the circle and take your bets. You can either Check, Raise or Fold – every time a player raises, we go round again. This is called the pre-flop and you are making this first decision, based on your first hand (your hole cards).

Once the first round of betting has finished, three cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table, these are called the ‘Flop’. This will then encourage another round of betting.

Next, a fourth card is revealed, this is called the ‘Turn’. Once again, we fly around the circle for more betting fun.

Finally, the ‘River’ is placed on the table, this is your fifth and final card. Of course, encouraging another round of betting.

By this point, you will have a large pot of fun money on the table, some guests will not be playing as they will have ‘Folded’ and the rest will have placed a ‘bet’ or ‘checked’.

The aim is to make the best hand possible with the FIVE cards on the table and your TWO cards.

From there – we will find our winner!

The trickiest part of this game, is learning everyone’s “Poker Face” – you are allowed to lie and trick people into thinking you have a good hand, in the hope that they will ‘Fold’ and you will take the pot of money.
