  • Texas Hold'em - Of all the poker games, it’s the one that’s most captured the world’s imagination. Find descriptions and rules for Limit Texas Hold'em, No-Limit Texas Hold'em, and Pot-Limit Texas Hold'em. Go to the rules of Texas Hold'em poker


  • Omaha - An extremely popular variation of Texas Hold'em that has seized the imagination of players everywhere. Omaha Poker comes in two flavors, Omaha and Omaha 8/B. Go to the rules of Omaha poker page to learn about this exciting variation


  • 7 Card Stud - For most of the Twentieth Century, 7 Card Stud was the poker game of choice for most players. It was replaced by Texas Hold'em after the latter gamed TV fame in the 90's. At UltimateBet, you can play this classic stud game in two varieties, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud 8/B. Go to the rules of 7 Card Stud poker


  • Razz - Much like Triple Draw, the worst hand wins in Razz. Players attempt to make the lowest-possible 5-card hand from a total of 7 cards. It’s very similar in play to 7 Card Stud.


  • H.O.R.S.E. / H.O.S.E. - This game has nothing to do with farming. HORSE is simply short form for the following five poker games: Hold ‘em, Omaha High-Low, Razz (this is omitted in the H.O.S.E. variation), Seven-Card Stud High, and Eight-or-Better (Seven-Card Stud high-low.) Each hand has a different playing style, making this a game for the hardcore poker players looking for a real challenge.
