What are Ring Games
Ring games are poker games played with real chips at stake.
Unlike tournament chips, which are worth nothing outside the
tournament, ring game chips represent real money. For example,
if you buy in for $20 worth of chips and leave the game with
$80, you made a $60 profit.
Pacific Poker offers ring games of Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi,
Omaha Hi/Lo and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo variations 24 hours a day.
Ring games start when two or more active players sit down at a
table.
Unlike tournaments, at ring games you are not committed to play
for a specified amount of time. You can sit down, play and leave
with your winnings whenever you want. Another difference is that
at ring games the table limits are fixed for the entire length
of the game, whereas at tournaments the limits increase with
each round.
Pacific Poker also offers two progressive jackpots at ring game
tables: the Bad Beat Jackpot and the Royal Jackpot. We launch
our jackpots at initial amounts of $5,000. The more hands
played, the bigger the jackpots grow. Visit our Jackpots page to

How to Play Online BlackJack
Short Description
In the Pacific Poker BlackJack game you are competing
against the dealer (the house The players and the dealer are
each dealt two cards, with the goal of reaching 21, without
going over. The player may draw as many cards as they wish,
until reaching 21. If the player draws a card that puts them
over 21 (which is called a "Bust"), they lose the hand. A
winning hand adds up to more than the dealer's hand, without
"Busting".
BlackJack Rules
The dealer deals from a shoe containing four decks of playing
cards. Before the deal, the players place their bets by clicking
on either the $1 chip, $5 chip, $25 chip or the $100 chip, to
reach the desired bet. After deciding on the desired bet the
player must click the "Deal" button to proceed with the hand.
The round begins after all participants have bet and clicked
"Deal". Once the deal begins the bets may not be changed. During
the course of the hand players may add to their bets through
Double Downs, Splits, and Insurance. After the cards are dealt,
you will be offered the appropriate option. Buttons, located on
the lower center of the screen, will appear in order to
facilitate the player's desired action. For example, if it is
possible to split two cards a button will appear to allow the
player to split the cards. The player simply clicks on the
"Split" button in order to split.
The minimum bet is $1 and the maximum bet is $100 per hand per
round. Each player receives two cards, face up, and the dealer
receives one card, face up. The player may request as many
additional cards as desired, until they either chooses to
"Stand" or Busting. If a player is dealt BlackJack, which is a
10 or face card along with an Ace, they are immediately paid 1.5
times the placed bet, unless the dealer also has BlackJack, in
which case it is a "Push" (the player's bet left on the table). |
