Side Bet City is a great 80s-themed poker variant in which each player simply bets on a win for a 3-Card Hand, a 5-Card Hand or a 7-Card Hand. Alternatively, the player can bet on ‘ All Lose’. The player can bet on any combination of these bets in Side Bet City. Those familiar with online Texas Hold’em will be aware of side bets already, they’re additional bets that players can make alongside the main game hand. In order to win a side bet a winning poker hand needs to be formed comprised of cards from both the players and dealers hand.

It’s fast and fun, and there are no decisions required by the player after they have placed their initial bets. If the player’s bet wins, a winning message appears on-screen. It’s that simple!

An unlimited number of players play simultaneously, playing against a pay table, not the dealer. The dealer deals seven cards in all from one deck, with the winning card combinations being based on all the usual poker hands.

Once all bets are in, the dealer deals three cards face-up, revealing the result for the 3-Card Hand. If a player has placed a bet on the 3-Card Hand and it wins, they will see a winning message.

 The dealer then deals the next two cards, revealing the result for the 7-Card Hand. If a player has placed a bet on the 7-Card Hand and it wins, they will see a winning message.

 If a player has placed a bet on the All Lose bet spot and none of the 3-Card, 5-Card or 7-Card Hands has won, the player wins, even if they have not placed a bet on any of the other three side bets.

Best Strategy To Play Live Side Bet City

In this game, the dealer deals three cards face-up from a single deck shoe and they determine the result of the 3-Card Hand. The next two cards are dealt and they reveal the result for the 5-Card Hand. Finally, the two last cards are dealt with determining the result for the 7-Card Hand. These cards also reveal whether the All Lose bet wins. Keep in mind that this bet wins only when none of the 3-Card, 5-Card or 7-Card Hands has won. You can play the All Lose bet only.

Here you should understand about all the bets available as this is the best strategy that they don’t pay the same way. Example, creating a royal flush hand with a 3-Card Hand bet pays 100:1, with a 5-Card Hand 1,000:1 while with a 7-Card Hand bet it pays 500:1. An RTP of each bet varies as well, so the bets with the highest RTP are 3-Card Hand with 96.69% and All Lose with a 96.29% RTP. The 5-Card Hand bet has an RTP of 95.21% while the 7-Card Hand bet has even lower RTP of 94.34%.

The value of RTPs can help you make the right choice. Although you can never tell if a certain bet will win in the games like this one, your odds are higher with the 3-Card Hand and All Lose bet. When it comes to the All Lose bet, you can think of it as the Insurance bet in Blackjack. It pays only 0.7:1, but it wins quite frequently. If you want to play longer, you should consider playing the bets with the highest RTP – 3-Card Hand and All Lose. Also, you can place a 5-Card Hand bet every now and then as it pays the biggest prizes.
