The game follows the rules and nuances of the community card game Texas hold 'em. Before starting a game, the player chooses an avatar to represent themselves at the table. The player is also able to select a tell that their avatar reveals throughout the game in attempts to confuse opponents. When it is the player's turn, they can call, raise bets, go all in, or check using the bottom touchscreen of the Nintendo DS.[3]
While the player progresses through the game and win tournaments, additional avatars and new locations are unlocked. Despite the game's name of Texas Hold 'Em Poker, a variety of other poker games are also included, such as five-card stud and five-card draw.[3]

Texas Hold 'Em Poker was given a score of 6.0 from video game critic website IGN, which found that although '[the game is] easy to play and still retains the fun of the Texas Hold ‘Em card design in a single player fashion,' '[it] still can’t beat the real deal, physical computer experience, which is why it’s a little upsetting that the design team didn’t take advantage of elements that would work better in a virtual setting – stat tracking being a key element that’s missing here.' They were also disappointed with the game's lack of support for the Nintendo DS' single cartridge feature to allow other Nintendo DS systems use the same cartridge to play the game together. The review concluded by noting that Texas Hold 'Em Poker was simply a passable DS game, but that it was not much better than that.[3]
The Sydney Morning Herald felt that the game's computer-controlled opponents acted appropriately; they bet when they had the upper hand and folded when they did not. Texas Hold 'Em Poker was given a score of 2.5 out of 5 from The Sydney Morning Herald.[6] The video game magazine Nintendo Power gave the game a score of 50%, finding that the menu that asks the player to select a tell before every move got tiring quickly.[7]

Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker is a casinotable game, owned and licensed by Mikohn Gaming/Progressive Gaming International Corporation. The game is based on traditional multi-player Texas Hold'empoker, but differs in that there is no bet after the river card.[1][2][3]
Rules[edit]
- The game is played with a standard 52 card deck.
- Each player makes an ante bet and may make an optional separate bonus bet.
- The player and dealer are both dealt two cards (face down).
- After checking his/her cards, the player may fold and forfeit the ante bet or play by betting double the ante.
- Three community cards are then dealt face up to the board (the flop).
- The player may decide to check or bet the amount of the ante.
- Another card is dealt to the board (the turn).
- The player may decide to check or make a final bet of the amount of the ante.
- One last card is dealt to the board (the river).
- The player and dealer make their best five card poker hand from their own two cards and the five board cards.
- If the dealer's hand beats the player's, the player loses all bets (except the bonus bet, which is explained below).
- If the dealer's hand ties the player's, dealer wins.
- If the player's hand beats the dealer's, the player wins even money on the flop, turn and river bets. The player wins even money on the ante bet only if his hand is a straight or better, otherwise the ante bet pushes.
- The bonus bet is based solely on the player's starting hand, regardless of whether the player beats or loses to the dealer. If the player has a pair, A-K, A-Q, or A-J, the player wins according to the pay table, otherwise the bonus bet is lost.
In Atlantic City, New Jersey, there is a variation on the rules above. The player only wins even money on the ante bet if his best hand is a flush or better. This rule also applies in the Star City Casino, Sydney, Australia,and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa,FL.
Strategy[edit]
The optimal strategy for the flop bet, assuming optimal play thereafter, is to call all hands except for 2-3 offsuit, 2-4 offsuit, 2-5 offsuit, 2-6 offsuit and 2-7 offsuit. However, said optimal strategy is extremely complicated because of the large number and variety of possible card combinations. No concise optimal strategy, or even a simplified version thereof, has been published.
