Online Casino

Omaha Poker is also known as Omaha Hi-Lo. This game can be enjoyed in a traditional gambling establishment or you can play it at an online casino. Online Omaha Poker is readily available in a user-friendly interface and offers the same excitement levels to gamers.

Getting Started

Omaha Poker is played with 9 cards. Players are dealt 4 cards, face-down, initially. 5 other community cards are dealt face-up for everyone’s use. Players play in turn, clockwise, and betting follows each round. The games are split into betting rounds.
In online Omaha Poker, the live dealer is replaced with a dealer button.

Rounds

• Flop—3 community cards. All players can use these to make their 5-card hand.
• Turn—When a fourth card is dealt out, face-up on the table.
• River—Fifth and last community card is dealt. Final round of betting follows.
• The Showdown—If there is more than one player still left in the game, the showdown takes place, with players revealing their cards.

Ready, Lights, Action!

• First player to the left of the blinds begins the betting.
• Players may bet, raise, check or fold.
• Players use 2 cards from their “hole” (face-down) cards and 3 cards from community cards to try to make the best hand for either Hi or Low.
• After the final round of betting, players then show their cards.

Winning Low Hands

Player must have 5 cards that are 8 or lower. A winning low hand splits the pot with the winning high hand. If there is no low hand that qualifies, high hand takes the entire pot.

Some Common Terms

Call: equal the amount bet
Raise: increase the bet
Fold: surrender cards and stake in a game
The Blinds Two players to the left of the dealer post blind bets, prior to the beginning of the game. These bets are made before the players see any community cards. The blinds ensure there is money in the pot at the beginning of the game.

Pre-Flop Four cards are dealt to each player that only they can see. These are the hole cards.
