9. TV BЕТ

POKERBET - a popular online game for betting shops with well-known rules of Texas Hold'em Poker. The game takes place in LIVE mode without interruption around the clock.

During the game, as usual for poker, there are five rounds (Betting round, Preflop, Flop, Turn and River), during which a round of betting on positions/hands and combinations is opened.

Pokerbet uses one deck with 52 cards. The goal of the game is to collect the strongest combination compared to others. At the same time, players can bet on winning of one of the six positions/hands or on a winning combination, making such a decision based on the dynamics of the opening of cards while the betting option is still open.

Before each current game, it’s possible to bet on it as well as on the next games, but ratios are used from the first round of the game. At the same time, bets on different draws can be combined both within the framework of Pokerbet and within the framework of other TV BET games offered by the betting shop, while receiving an increased ratio.

In addition to winning, players can get a bonus in the form of a jackpot, which can be three in the game.
