How to Play the Game
Note:
To play Omaha Poker you must have enough
credits to place a blind bet and a bet.
The Players to the left of the Dealer begin
the game by posting blind bets. The Player
on the Dealer's left posts a small blind
bet, and the Player on the Small Blind's
left posts a big blind bet. Note: The Dealer's
position at the table changes after every
game. The dealer button (D) shows the Dealer's
position at the table.
Four pocket cards are dealt to
each Player.
In the first round, the Player to the Big
Blind's left plays first and can either:
Note:
In the first round, betting is capped at
one bet and three raises per Player.
In the second round, three community cards
are dealt. This is called the Flop. A round
of betting follows and Players can either:
In the third round, a fourth community
card is dealt. This is called the Turn.
Another round of betting follows.
In the fourth round, a fifth and final
community card is dealt. This is called
the River Card. The final round of betting
follows. The remaining Players then use
two of their pocket cards and three of the
community cards to create the best five-card
high hand possible.
Important:
Winning hands must consist of two pocket
cards and three community cards.
