Source: Microgaming

For passionate online casino players, nothing thrills quite like a new release. Except if it’s a Microgaming new release, that is – then it’s even better. Today, the spotlight’s on Hold’Em Poker 2: a 2021 Sit & Go game with big personality and even bigger potential payouts.

Geared towards iOS and Android players, this tournament-based poker variant is easily enjoyed on desktop too, boasting dynamic scaling as its played. And, because it rides on Texas hold’em’s international popularity, Hold’Em Poker 2 is a natural choice for online poker enthusiasts around the world, Ireland included.

Is it available at Spin Casino? You betcha. Mobile and desktop players can check it out under the table games section, a quick scroll away from our online slots and other super-fun casino games.

Overview & Highlights

A no-limit hold’em variant that’s played in a Sit & Go tournament format, Hold’Em Poker 2 asks for a minimum €2 buy-in. Re-buys and add-ons aren’t included here, but with prize pools in excess of €10 000, win potentials remain impressively on-point.

Highlights include a random prize pool wheel, a progressive jackpot, and an exciting mixture of winner-takes-all and 50/30/20 payout allocations.

General Texas Hold’em Rules

New to online and mobile casino games? The good news is that Hold’Em Poker 2 is super-easy to get the hang of, even if you’ve never played a table game before. To start, let’s cover the basics of a typical Texas Hold’em tourney played in real time. This will prep you for any virtual Hold’em tournament, whether you’re playing a live casino or online game.

At the start of the round, each player will be dealt two cards. Only you will be able to see your hand, because it’ll appear face-down to everyone else. The value of these two cards will help you decide on which betting approach to use: Either a See or Raise bet.

The first bet type lets you match an existing bet amount made by another player, while the second gives you a chance to place a higher bet than your competitors.

When everyone around the table completes their bets, the Flop occurs. This is when a further three cards are dealt, but this time, they can be seen by all players. These three cards are added to the first two cards a player receives to make up their hand.

At this point in the game, everyone’s given the opportunity to See or Raise a bet once again. Here’s where another face-up card is dealt. This is called the Turn.

But wait, there’s more.

The final betting opportunity is known as the River, and this is where the final card of the round is dealt and players place their closing See or Raise bets. Following this, it’s time for the big reveal. Players lay out their cards one by one to see who the ultimate winner is.

Suddenly, the expression ‘Poker Face’ makes much more sense, doesn’t it? Inside tip: Online casino players don’t need to practice hiding their reactions to a hand. Bonus!

The Hold’Em Poker 2 Difference

While it follows the same rules as Texas Hold’em, Microgaming’s Hold’Em Poker 2 is unique for two distinct reasons. The first is that it’s super-exclusive. Only 3 seats are available per Sit & Go tourney, meaning you would be up against two other players if you choose to activate it with a €2 buy-in.

The second is that a wheel-spin determines the prize you’re playing for. If the segment pointer lands on the progressive jackpot section of the wheel, you’ll be playing for a potential €10 000 prize plus a progressive jackpot amount.

The third is that while most potential payouts are awarded to one winner, there are a handful of outcomes that split the prize 50/30/20, giving players the chance to score a share of the total pot instead.
