However, if the Croupier uses an automatic card dealing machine, the dealing order changes: first the 5 community cards, then the 2 cards for each player and finally the Bank’s 2 cards. The Croupier then deals 2 cards to each player, ending with him- or herself, and places 5 community cards on the table, all face down. It is also possible to make an optional bet on the ‘Bonus’ square. So make sure you think them through carefully from the beginning. From then on, these wagers can no longer be removed or changed. Before the cards are dealt, you must place your chips on the squares marked ‘Bet (Ante)’ for an initial bet and ‘Blind’ for a blind bet of the same amount.
The participants, up to 7 of them at the Table, will not be playing against each other but instead trying to beat the Bank, in the person of the Croupier. A variation of traditional poker, Ultimate Poker offers a new way to play.
