There's a reason poker is the best card game in the world. Whether you're playing Texas Hold'Em, Seven Card Stud, 5 Card High, or Badugi, poker is a game of skill and daring that can be as tense as it is thrilling. To win at poker you need to understand strategy and psychology, you need talent and a dash of luck.

At BetVictor's world-leading Live Casino, you'll find a range of poker tables on offer. The action at each table is streamed directly to you, and best of all, the table is run by a real-life dealer. They'll deal the cards, call the bets, manage the game, and will interact with you, just like in a traditional casino.

Like chess, poker is easy to learn but difficult to master. And although there's a huge range of poker variants, each with their own twist on the game, they're all based on the same core set of rules and the same poker odds.

The goal of poker is to get the best hand you can, then to place wagers against other players' hands. Your hand of cards is usually five cards. Sometimes you have all five in your hand, sometimes you have two or three, and you make your hand using community cards the dealer places face up in front of all the players. You may have chances to burn cards and to pick others to try and get a better hand.

Once you have your hand, each player at the table takes it in turn to bet or not. You can fold and bow out of a round if you feel your hand isn't good enough, but if you've got a good set of cards (or you're a good bluffer), you can match the others players' bets or you can raise the stakes and increase the bet. Poker is all about judging the odds and reading the psychology of the other players, it's about taking advantage of strong hands and bluffing your way through the weaker ones.

Once the betting rounds are complete, the players reveal their hands. The winner is the player with the strongest hand, and they claim the pot of bets made throughout the round. If you win a hand, our dealers are sure to celebrate with you.

Our Live Poker tables are ideal for poker experts and newcomers alike. You won't have to worry about your poker face giving you away, as our options mean you don't have to show your face at all if you don't want to. Our friendly and professional dealers at each table can help guide you through the game too, they can explain any rules you've missed and recount the action to keep you up to speed.

When you enter our Live Casino, you'll begin by choosing which version of poker you want to play, then you'll join a table. You'll be able to choose from Three Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Casino Hold'em, 2 Card Casino Hold'em, and Side Bet City, with new poker betting markets added as they become available.

Once you sit at your table of choice, the game will play out just as you'd expect at a traditional casino. With each round of poker managed by the dealer, they'll sort and deal the cards, call the bets, and make sure the game runs in the clear and professional manner you'd expect from a world-class international casino.

If you've never tried one of the games before, you can even sit back and learn by watching a few rounds and asking any questions you have. Once you understand what's happening, you can join the action and play.
