“Bet-on-Poker” or “Poker” is an online game, similar in its rules and process to the most popular type of poker – Texas Hold’em Poker.
Game Process
The dealer deals 12 (twelve) open cards on 6 (six) positions (clockwise). Thus, each position receives 2 (two) open cards. Then, during the game, 5 (five) community cards (Board) are opened. The goal of the game is to make the highest possible combination of five cards using the available hand (two open cards) and five community cards. The hand or hands that make the highest combination win.
The first betting round begins before the cards are dealt. Participants can place bets on one or more possible outcomes (combinations). There are no restrictions on the number of bets on one or more possible outcomes (combinations). The second betting round begins after the cards are dealt and the odds are updated. Bets placed in the previous round do not affect the bets placed in the second round. The third betting round begins after the flop (Flop, i.e. the first 3 (three) open community cards) is dealt and the odds are updated. The fourth round begins after the turn (Turn, i.e. the fourth open community card) is dealt and the odds are updated. Finally, the last card (the fifth community card) is dealt, and the results of the game are determined.
In the event of a tie, winnings are paid to all participants who placed bets on any of the winning hands in any round. If the highest combination consists of five community cards, the winnings are awarded and paid to all participants who bet on any hand.
The game is broadcast daily, with draws every 5 minutes.

Terms and Definitions:
1.1. Game (Draw) – one round of card dealing, which begins when the dealer checks the first card and places it in the first position (1st hand), and ends when the dealer places the last open community card, announces the winner(s), and returns all open cards back to the deck. Before each game (draw), the dealer announces the start and shuffles the cards.

1.3. Betting Option – a possible interpretation of the game results (draw), expressed in odds, which may change during the game depending on the change in the mathematical probability of the outcome.
