Bring a Six-Pack to the Online Casino

Now wait, before you start saying that you can drink whatever you want at the online casino, I just need to say that this is not about what kind of beer I recommend, this is about a new type of poker game. That's right ladies and gents, Six-Pack poker is soon coming to an online casino near you, and I plan on giving you the basics before you try your luck. Poker is always a fun online casino game to play regardless of the version, but new games come with a streak of beginners' luck; that will certainly give you a bit of an extra edge.

Let's begin with the fact that any game with the word Six-Pack in it is already great in my book. Six-Pack Poker is a great game for online casino players because it does not require a large bankroll to play. It is similar to Three Card Poker, with a little extra twist as the player has the option to make a double bet to back up his original bet. In addition, folding is not an option during game play, so once you are in, you're in, regardless of what you happen to be holding. The game starts with the online casino deals out two 3-card hands face down and the player making the initial bet. Then 2 cards from the each of the 3-card hands are turned over, at which point the player can make a double bet.

Once the double bet is made (or not made) the dealer turns over the last card of each hand over and takes the better one for himself. Strange I know, but hear me out. The 3-card hand that remains becomes the community cards at the online casino table and you are dealt 3 cards while the dealer is dealt 2, to give the house a five card hand and the player a six card hand. This is when standard play comes into practice and the dealers 5-card hand is played against the best 5-card hand you can make from the community cards and your 3 cards. Remember, these are just the basics of the game. Check your favorite online casino for Six-Pack Poker and strategy guides.
