Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
Hot Poker Spot (HPS), an optional side bet for Texas Hold'em
				  Poker, must be played according to the following rules:
(1) Prior to the deal commencing, the dealer
				asks players to place side bets by announcing "Hot Poker Spot bets please."
				Dealer then collects all side bets which are placed into the corresponding
				player position n-umber on the Side Wager Security Bracket (SWSB)
(2) The dealer must deal two cards to each
				player, face downward and one at a time. The first player to receive a card is
				the player immediately to the left of the player who has the dealer button. The
				last player to receive cards is the player assigned the dealer button. After
				each player has received two cards, there is a betting round and the players
				may bet an amount not more than the posted table limit. The player to the left
				of the button opens and each active player may call, raise, or fold. Any player
				who folds at this point forfeits the player's HPS side bet as a losing wager.
(3) The dealer deals three
				community cards from the deck and turns the cards face upward, in the center of
				the table. Community cards are common to the hand of every active player in the
				pot;
(4) After the flop, the
				betting continues for another round. The player sitting to the left of the
				player assigned the dealer button opens. After the opening, each active player
				may call, raise, or fold. Any player who folds at this point, except in "heads
				up" play, forfeits the player's HPS side bet as a losing wager.
(5) The dealer deals the fourth community
				card (turn card) face upward in the center of the table. Another betting round
				occurs. Any player who folds at this point, except in "heads up" play, forfeits
				the player's HPS side bet as a losing wager. The dealer deals the fifth and
				final community card (river card) face upward in the center of the table for
				the final betting round. If there are two or more players remaining in the game
				after all bets are made, there is a showdown: and
(6) In Texas Hold'em, the highest hand wins
				the pot. In Hot Poker Spot achieving the highest possible hand is not a
				requirement for winning the HPS side bet. To qualify for payout, a player must
				call the final bet, achieve a straight or better using the two hole cards and
				any three of the five community cards, and expose the hole cards for dealer
				verification. The only players folding at any point after the flop who are
				eligible for a HPS payout are those players in heads up play. A folding player
				must achieve a qualifying hand of a straight or higher. All qualifying hands
				must be exposed for dealer verification as a condition of payout.
