2 Hand Casino Hold'Em

2 Hand Casino Hold'Em is an advanced version of a poker classic, to which Evolution Gaming have added a feature that allows gamers to play with two independent hands at once. Compared to other live poker games, where users face off against each other, it is the dealer that players hope to be dealt a better hand than in this game. Also featuring additional bonus bets and a series of impressive live features, 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em is an inventive, yet authentic addition to the table game scene.

A black casino table is where 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em takes place, with this sitting inside a glitzy, silver studio filled with many elaborate decorations and neon lights. The table’s felt is marked with 2 individual hands, something which is the defining feature of this Evolution poker game. A single card shoe sits on top of the 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em logo, with the dealer drawing from this in each round.

The user interface of 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em remains minimal and easy to understand, just like Evolution's other live baccarat and live roulette games. The player balance and current bet are located in the bottom left corner, and on the opposite side of the screen, the chat menu and camera angle toggles can be found.

Each round in 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em starts with a standard deck of 52 cards that has had the jokers removed. These are re-shuffled each round, something which is immediately different to many other live casino games. In this, players directly compete with the dealer using the classic ranking rules of poker, from pairs up to royal flushes.

Each potential hand in 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em has its own odds, with these highest to lowest ranking hands being as follows:

Royal Flush has odds of 100/1.

Straight Flush has odds of 20/1.

4-of-a-kind has odds of 10/1.

Full House has odds of 3/1.

Flush has odds of 2/1.

Straights, pairs or high cards have odds of 1/1.

Before any cards are dealt in 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em, though, players must make an ante bet. Once this has been done, both player hands are dealt two cards face up, with the dealer receiving two cards which are face down, just like in live blackjack. There are also three additional community cards, which are then dealt, and following this, players can make a number of decisions. After seeing the initial flop, players can either choose to call or fold their hands, with this either doubling or forfeiting the original ante bet.

After the player has made decisions for each of their hands, the dealer will then turn over their cards. They must have at least a pair of 4s or a higher-ranking hand in order to qualify, and if this is not met, all original ante bets and calls are refunded. Should the dealer qualify, however, and your hand rank is stronger, you win the round.

As its name implies, the main bonus in 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em is the fact that players can choose to play with two separate hands simultaneously. This adds a brand new dynamic to the standard poker experience; however, it does require players to adjust their stake in order to utilise this feature.

The other bonus in 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em comes down to the Bonus ‘AA’ side bet, which Evolution Gaming have also added. This is placed alongside a standard ante bet and takes into consideration the two player dealt cards and the three community ones. If these happen to form a poker hand between them, this could potentially trigger a return. Depending on the rank of the hand, these could have odds from 7/1 up to 100/1.

2 Hand Casino Hold'Em can be played on a series of different device types on our UK online casino site, thanks to Evolution Gaming making it fully cross-compatible. Accessibility is a key component of all their live casino releases, something which they make possible through their use of HTML5 software. As long as the chosen play method connects to the internet, the interactive live gameplay and the video streams do not lose any quality, no matter the screen size at hand.

All in all, 2 Hand Casino Hold'Em brings a fresh dynamic to poker gameplay in the form of its dual hand feature, all whilst retaining the original rules of this table game classic. The extra bonus side bet and the highly refined live experience are just some of the other impressive details that make this game so authentic as well.

2 Hand Casino Hold'Em joins many other impressive poker variants at BoyleSports, two other popular examples being Bet On Poker and 3 Card Brag.
