Online Tequila Poker Game Play And Strategy

Added: June 8, 2017

Tequila Poker is a game available under the Table Games category at Playtech online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino. Here are a few reasons why you might want to try out this online casino game. Tequila Poker is an unusual game so there is something different on offer. It has an extremely simple optimum strategy that is easy to learn. It offers an average return of about 96% that is on par with online pokies.

The game play in Tequila Poker is as follows. After you place the ante bet, you will be dealt four cards face up. The first decision that you make is whether to fold or raise. If you fold, you lose the ante bet and the game ends. If you raise then you have to place a second bet equal to the ante bet. You also have to make another decision, which is whether you want to play from Tequila Poker or High Tequila. Then two more cards will be dealt to you in each case, giving you six cards in total.

In Tequila Poker you have to make the highest ranking five-card poker hand. In the Playtech game this is automatically done. If the ranking of your hand is less than an ace pair you lose both bets. For hands of ace pair or better the ante bet is paid at even money and the second bet is paid according to the Tequila Poker payout table. At the lower end, a pair of aces pays even money and at the higher end royal flush pays 200 to 1.

In High Tequila the cards are valued as in blackjack with the ace compulsorily taking 11 points. The hand value of the highest five cards is automatically computed. If it is less than 46, you lose both bets. For hand values of 46 or more the ante bet is again paid at even money and the second bet is paid according to the High Tequila payout table. At the lower end, a hand value of 46 to 48 pays even money and at the higher end a hand value of 54 pays 200 to 1.

You should raise and opt for Tequila Poker if your first four cards include any pair or four cards to any flush or straight. You should raise and opt for High Tequila if the highest three cards of your first four cards total 28 points or more. If both the conditions are met then you raise and choose any option. If none of these conditions is met then you should fold.
