History[edit]
Stephen Au-Yeung devised the game in the late 1990's as a tool to assist in training his partner of the time to play Texas Hold 'Em poker. After this the training tool was developed into a House game and launched in 2000.[1] It first appeared as a live casino game in Egypt, Russia and South Africa. It was shown in 2001 at the World Gaming Congress Expo, Las-Vegas, US and in 2002 at the International Casino Exhibition held at Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, UK.
Today the game is marketed by the Gaming Supplies Company, TCS-JohnHuxley and over ten online-gaming software and is played in over one hundred live casinos and over one thousand online Casinos worldwide. It was licensed/Approved for use in the USA (Nevada/Las-Vegas) in 2006 and VERSION-2 in 2013, also Approved in the United Kingdom in 2007. In 2017 Golden Nugget's Live-Dealer Online-Casino (Atlantic-City/New-Jersey) launched the game, making it the first Live-Dealer Online-Poker, play in USA.

Strategy[edit]
There is no easy way to quantify optimal strategy for this game since the optimal decision for each hand is based on the combination of all 7 cards (two personal cards and five board cards) dealt. As such while computer programs can easily deal with the calculations required to make the correct play in any particular hand, it is difficult to make a set of general rules which can be memorized such as exists for Blackjack. The optimal strategy player will raise 82% of the time. So only in the worst 18% of hands should the player fold. These are broadly when the player has two singletons in the hole that are low compared to the flop, with little or no chance for a straight or flush.[2]
AnteWin pay table[edit]
In Casino Hold'em the player not only wins a standard 1 to 1 sum if they have the stronger hand, but for rare hands a higher sum. This pay table typically pays a royal flush 100 to 1, straight flush 20 to 1, four of a kind 10 to 1, full house 3 to 1, flush 2 to 1, and straight or less the standard 1 to 1.

The house edge of Casino Hold'em excluding the side bet (that is, the percentage of each bet the casino will on average win, assuming perfect play on the part of the player) varies depending on the specific rules in the casino but is the most common pay tables result in a house edge varying from just below 2% to around 2.5%. Using the ante pay table above, the house edge is 2.16%.
Side bets[edit]
