Q & A with
Dalton Wagner, Founder V.O. Group, S.A.

As Founder and Proprietor of V.O. Group, S.A., Dalton Wagner has the reputation of ferreting out new markets and attacking while other companies sit on their hindquarters and watch. One market that has always eluded offshore bookmakers is the ‘guy who likes dealing with his credit bookmaker’. Typically this market has been untouchable for the offshore bookmaker, but NOT for Dalton and V.O. Group, S.A. We had an opportunity to catch up with Dalton Wagner on his last visit to Panama.

Vegas Offshore: Tell us about this new product that you are calling your Price Per Head Agency Relationship.
Wagner: As you know, one market that a post-up sportsbook has historically been unable to attack is the huge market of bettors that have been betting with their local guy for years. The reason this market exists is the personal relationship that an onshore bookie has with his clients. Sportsbooks have attempted to educate the player and lure him away from the local bookie, however we have taken another tact. We have partnered with local bookies around the world to make their offering better and more valuable.

Vegas Offshore: So instead of attacking the local guy, you actually approach him with your offer?
Wagner: Exactly. The fact is that the relationship is the last thread holding clients to a local guy. Yes, there is the fact that the local guy extends credit, but with bonuses and promotions we can overcome that offering. The key is the relationship.

Vegas Offshore: I’m confused, please explain.
Wagner: As you know, the onshore bookmaking market has lost steam to the offshore providers like V.O. Group, S.A. The reason is that the offerings that I can provide are far superior to those that any onshore bookmaker can offer. The PPH concept is based on allowing the onshore bookmaker to provide his clients my offerings on a purely anonymous basis via an online automated tool. Rather, by signing up with my PPH service, an onshore bookmaker can compete with all offshore sportsbooks on equal footing offering 24-hour wagering, 365 days a year. All the bookmaker does is use an online system to assign PINs and PASSWORDs and pay me a small fee per week for the service.

Vegas Offshore: Wait a minute. So, this means that a small time operator in Cleveland, Ohio can offer all the same things that V.O. Group, S.A. does without making the multi-million dollar investment?
Wagner: Now your catching on. For as little as $25 per head per week, a guy in Ohio can compete with the biggest sportsbooks in the world. And, better yet, never answer another wagering phone call again.

Vegas Offshore: OK, I get it. They use your automated tool to drive their clients to your software online, and they simply pick up the figures at the end of the week.
Wagner: Exactly correct with one exception. Their clients can bet on the phone via our call center staffed with 250 people OR bet online. Again, they have access to all of the offerings V.O. Group, S.A. provides including call center access, client services and technical support.

Vegas Offshore: Is the PPH product only based on sports wagering?
Wagner: Very good question. The answer is no. We actually have the ability to offer clients two (2) casino products including blackjack, baccarat, slots, 3 card poker, roulette, etc. And, clients may also bet on horses at over 350 tracks worldwide.

Vegas Offshore: Wow! That truly is incredible. So, a bookie that has one client can compete with the likes of MVPsportsbook.com on equal footing?
Wagner: Exactly correct. But, there are two keys to the success of the product launch. The first is being able to compete head to head with the biggest sportsbooks in the world. But, arguably the most important factor is that since the onshore bookie no longer has to answer phones or track plays, he can spend all of his time picking up new clients, NOT writing bets.

Vegas Offshore: I remember that in a prior interview you had stated that the key is not winning, but finding more losers.
Wagner: An embarrassing quote, but true. Amateur bookmakers think that the key is to beat the clients you have. That is a huge mistake. The key to getting rich as a bookmaker is finding a new client every single day of the year. The numbers take care of themselves, the key is to get more and more people playing. That is the TRUE BEAUTY of the PPH software and agency relationship.

Vegas Offshore: Do you have any success stories to tell?
Wagner: I have many, but will tell you one that emphasizes what the PPH program can do. I have a bookmaker that has been working out of San Antonio, Texas for 10 years. The guy has historically made $200,000 a year from his 25 or 30 players. He was introduced to our product in July 2004, and today he is writing over 185 clients. The ability to outsource answering calls and writing tickets to us has allowed him to grow his business 600% and his revenue over 1000%.

Vegas Offshore: Why did his revenue grow more than his business? Is it because your lines are sharper than his?
Wagner: There you go again. That is the obvious mistake that everyone makes. Again, don’t worry about beating the clients. Worry about getting more clients to play. But, to answer your question directly, the ability for his clients to play in the casino, play 24 hours a day, play games/halves/quarters, props, etc. is where the extra revenue comes from. Our lines might be sharper, but the advantage is more clients betting more often.

Vegas Offshore: How many bookmakers do you currently work with?
Wagner: We are writing business for over 250 bookmakers now. Some represent groups as small as 2 or 3; and others represent groups as large as 500. Again, remember the key is finding as many clients as possible. If you get to where you are writing 15 clients or more, it is almost impossible to lose for an extended period of time.

Vegas Offshore: So how does a bookmaker learn more about this?
Wagner: Simply go to any of the V.O. Group, S.A. sites to learn more. I suggest starting at www.BettorsNet.com or calling 1-877-512-1001 or emailing agents@bettorsnet.com to get more information.

State of the Offshore Gaming Industry

2005-06-13T09:20:00.000-07:00

Q & A with
Dalton Wagner, Founder V.O. Group, S.A.

As Founder and Proprietor of V.O. Group, S.A., Dalton Wagner has the reputation of making one-dollar work like three in online marketing. With formidable competition, Mr. Wagner founded V.O. Group, S.A. in 1998 and has quickly risen to be one of the largest offshore operators in the world with over 50,000 active clients. We had an opportunity to catch up with Dalton Wagner on his last visit to Antigua.

Vegas Offshore: This year has been interesting for V.O. Group, S.A. and the offshore industry as a whole (advertising changes, etc.). How do you feel about the industry at the current time?
Wagner: I feel the industry is as strong as it has ever been. We are still finding that our advertising is bringing us new clients at an ever-growing rate. Some competitors are complaining that the crimp on advertising is affecting the industry, but we are not seeing this trend. Consolidation within the industry has begun, and I am sure you will continue to see smaller competitors gobbled up, and medium to larger companies merging. The weaker will go by the wayside.

Vegas Offshore: What about the rumors of V.O. Group, S.A. being bought?
Wagner: I am glad you used the term 'rumors'. The fact is that in July 2004 three suitors approached V.O. Group, S.A. because of our record-breaking profit year. In two of the cases we did see 'value' in a merger/relationship. However, at the end of the day, we could not come to terms that were agreeable on both sides. At this time V.O. Group, S.A. stands independent. And, we are happy being independent, profitable and growing.

Vegas Offshore: It is rumored that Bet On Sports (PLC; BSS.L) was one of the suitors. Is that true?
Wagner: There were three suitors that approached V.O. Group, S.A. And, in all cases confidentiality agreements were signed. For this reason, I cannot confirm or deny who any of the potential suitors were. What I can tell you is that one was a major sportsbook player, one was a major casino player and two were PLCs. I doubt that helps.

Vegas Offshore: Well, if Bet On Sports was involved, I bet you are happy you weren't involved in their November 24, 2004 stock debacle.
Wagner: The Bet On Sports stock debacle was an over-reaction by the market in my opinion. In one day you saw their stock drop 50% in value. And, the reason was poor performance in a very short period. If you looked at the other publicly held offshore gaming companies, you saw the same thing, just not as drastic as with BSS.L. Simply put, I know the founder of Bet On Sports, I know the management of Bet On Sports, I know the staff at Bet On Sports and I would not hesitate to invest in Bet On Sports. They were, and still are, undervalued in my opinion. They are a great competitor and a great company. I wish I had some of their stock at the new adjusted price. I just don't see how you can lose.

Vegas Offshore: It is rare to hear the 'competition' speaking so highly of a major competitor. Why would you do so?
Wagner: Simple. Bet On Sports is a great company. And, I am sure they would tell you the same about V.O. Group, S.A. The fact is, that there are companies out there that make our industry stronger. And, ones that make it weaker. Bet On Sports and V.O.Group, S.A. strive to make our industry stronger and more legitimate on a daily basis (as do BetCris.com; BoDog.com; etc.). What kind of ambassador for the industry would I be if I downplayed a 'good' competitor like Bet On Sports for my own benefit?

Vegas Offshore: If Bet On Sports did approach you, would you consider a merger?
Wagner: I like being independent. But, simply put, NEVER say NEVER.

Vegas Offshore: What of the rumors that you are looking at Panama as a potential relocation site?
Wagner: Our operation currently has offices in Costa Rica, Antigua and Belize. In Costa Rica we currently have over 400 employees. With employment costs in Costa Rica on the rise, the burden of Caja and the ever-changing political climate, we have looked at several alternative locations. One of the most desirable is/was Panama. However, due to the massive failure of BetPanAm.com and the political debacle involving their past gaming commission, we have decided to stay put for the current time. I think it is very safe to say that our primary location will be Costa Rica for the next 5 years. Pending any crazy licensing or governmental changes.

Vegas Offshore: I have visited your office in Antigua, however had no idea that you employed 400 individuals in Costa Rica. Why do you need such a large staff?
Wagner: Our industry has a reputation for being lazy and getting by on a shoestring budget. Most sportsbooks, casinos, racebooks and poker rooms answer phones when it is convenient and buy computers when the ones they are operating blow-up. Most are simply embarrassing to the legitimate operators. To run an operation like ours, servicing 50,000 bettors, you need lots of space, a 1st rate phone system, fiber and satellite phone and Internet backups, IT professionals, accounting professionals, etc. V.O. Group, S.A. is currently located in 35,000 square feet of space, operating 24-hours a day, 365 days a year, and we are busting at the seems. At the current time, we are negotiating to buy the building next to us for future expansion. I think we will employ 600 people come this same time next year.

Vegas Offshore: I have noticed that you are still branching into other products. How has this strategy worked for V.O. Group, S.A.?
Wagner: In 1998 we started with our sports product. We then branched into the casino product. In 2001 and 2002 we opened several major race books and poker rooms. The fact is that we are profitable in all products. However, our core product, and hub for our advertising, is focused on the sports product. The strategy has worked, but we will not desert our core product. You can look for our re-launch of interactive betting in early 2005 and bingo in mid 2005.

Vegas Offshore: What other changes do you see in 2005 for V.O. Group, S.A.
Wagner: I think you will see V.O. Group, S.A. work more on our Internet interface to make it more gamer-friendly; you will see our company move into land-based gaming; and you will see us acquire two or three smaller competitors. Rather, you will see what you have always seen, expansion.

Vegas Offshore: What other changes do you see in 2005 for the industry as a whole?
Wagner: The strong will get stronger. The weak will get weaker. And, the acquisition race will be on.

Baccarat Strategy Poker Bonuses Online Poker Room

2005-03-14T10:49:00.000-08:00

Ultimate Baccarat is the most sophisticated and accurate gambling strategy for
winning at baccarat in existence, yielding a flat bet advantage
of approximately 2% over tens of thousands of decisions played,
with extremely small risk to your bankroll. It can truly be
the combination that unlocks the casino vault! Together with
the most advanced player/bank method in existence, Ultimate
Baccarat contains a mathematically based method for exploiting
the tie bet at baccarat. All in all, Ultimate Baccarat is
the most complete and the most advantageous method to play
baccarat in existence.

AN ASTOUNDING PLAYER/BANK METHOD

Ultimate Baccarat wins flat betting,
as the results reported at the end of this discussion prove.Poker Bonuses Online Poker Room
Most baccarat methods now in existence use progressions,
whether up-as-you-win or up-as-you-lose to achieve the illusion
of an advantage. Such methods may vary their bets from one
unit to twenty or thirty units hoping that lucky wins with
the big bets will offset losses with the smaller bets. The
systems always have high stop losses, twenty, thirty, even
forty units. Those systems will never work: you will eventually
lose the big bets, too. These methods do not achieve an
advantage over the casino; if they did, they could win flat
betting. Yet none of the developers suggest flat betting,
and will certainly never report a flat bet win. As with
the infamous Martingale, these progressions only delay the
day of doom.

THIS METHOD IS DIFFERENT

While other developers fiddle with unworkable
progressions, my own approach to the game has been to discover
a method that wins flat betting. Most games will produce
certain types of patterns or biases of one kind or another
that can be exploited. Such patterns are most likely caused
by inadequate shuffling of the cards. In a landmark study
on shuffling summarized in the January 9, 1990 issue of
the New York Times, Dr. Persi Diaconis of Harvard University
demonstrated that it requires a minimum of twelve shuffles
to randomize six decks of cards. Standard casino shuffles
do not even approach this. The possibility of exploiting
such patterns (from whatever cause) was the goal in developing
my method. This player/bank method here discussed represents
the culmination my work on biases in the baccarat game.
A flat bet win is the surest way to insure that the method
in fact is a true advantage method, that the method will
sustain an advantage through long term play. The player/bank
method here has been thoroughly tested against tens of thousands
of real casino decisions, from real casino games, and has
shown a substantial advantage.

PROOF OF A WINNING METHOD

Certainly, other systems have tried
to exploit biases in the run of player/bank decisions. Unfortunately,
such systems usually focus narrowly on a single kind of
bias, whether side dominance or streak/chop patterns. Such
systems will win games that conform to the bias exploited
by the system, but too many games will not conform to produce
a generally reliable method of play. The system here focuses
much more abstractly on the types of biases and patterns
that can occur in a baccarat game, and fares well against
all patterns typically seen in a baccarat shoe. Indeed,
the method will often change with the shoe: as the biases
and patterns in the shoe change, so will the bet selection
method. This insures that the bettor is always playing in
accordance with the most current bias present in the shoe.
For instance, one bet selection method used by the system
will win against all of the following events: (i) straight
runs of either player or bank (ii) alternating runs of player
and bank (PBPBPB) (iii) alternating runs of double player
and double bank (PPBBPPBBPP) (Time before last betting loses
every decision to this pattern; this method wins every decision.)
(iv) alternating runs of triple player and triple bank (PPPBBBPPPBBB)
and a host of other patterns. Another bet selection method
wins against a different group of patterns and in more unpatterned
shoes.

THE WINNING POWER OF ULTIMATE BACCARAT Witness the results
from the Baccarat System Tester reported at the end of this
special announcement. Over the 100 games reported here,
I achieved a flat bet win of well over TWO HUNDRED units,
and, over the entire System Tester, I achieved a 2% advantage
over the house. There's nothing like it in the world today.
Play the games for yourself and achieve the same results.
The data is published and is readily available. Over the
hundred games summarized at the end, I won at the rate of
a little over two units/shoe, and my total bankroll never
went down more than thirty-five units. What does this mean
for our profit potential? Suppose we can win 1 unit/shoe
(and this is certainly the experience) and never lose more
than 100 units from a maximum win. How can we expect our
bankroll to grow? Start with a $10 bet and a $1000 bankroll.
After 50 shoes, you will have (on average) won $500, so
you bankroll is now $1500. Move up to $15 units. After 35
more shoes, you will have won another $500, and your bankroll
has now DOUBLED to $2000 after only 85 shoes (about 8 days
of play). With the $2000 bankroll, you can now bet $20 units,
and after another 25 shoes, you'll be able to go up to $25
units, and you can continue the progression upwards. Wining
just one unit per shoe, your bankroll grows geometrically,
doubling every few days of play. Remember the story about
starting with a penny and doubling it every day? At the
end of thirty days, you're a millionaire! While I cannot
guarantee everyone will achieve that result, the effect
of winning just one tiny unit per shoe is enormous over
the long haul. This is the first baccarat method that could
actually change the nature of the game! As long as casinos
firmly believe the game to be unbeatable, we have a golden
opportunity to exploit this most winnable game.

TIES, TOO!

Ultimate Baccarat bets ties, too. Surprised?
Probably. Most books recommend avoiding the tie bet. And
at a 14% disadvantage, who can blame them? In fact, unless
you possess Ultimate Baccarat, this is good advice. I have,
however, proven that a mathematical advantage can be obtained
on the tie bet near the end of the shoe with certain types
of card depletions. It further appears that we can obtain
an empirical advantage much more frequently, and the tie
method incorporated in Ultimate Baccarat shows exactly how
that might be done. While ties can be cumbersome to play,
I will leave no stone unturned in finding ways to exploit
winning opportunities at any casino game.

THE BASIS OF THE TIE METHOD

The tie system is based on the mathematics
of card depletion, much as card counting is based on the
mathematics of card depletion. There is a simple mathematical
fact, understandable to anyone, that unlocks the mathematical
magic of the tie bet. On one level, you can bet purely on
the mathematics of ties; nevertheless, ties seem to appear
before the full mathematical advantage kicks in, and this
method will exploit that fact, too. The system makes an
excellent supplement for those who like to play ties, as
many do. Ties have been played successfully for a long time.
In his book, Lyle Stuart on Baccarat, Lyle Stuart tells
a story about a man who "lazed about in casinos in
the Caribbean and stumbled onto a method of counting cards
that would give him a clue as to when Ties were most probable."
When the count was right, the man would bet a progression
on ties. The story goes on to tell how the man eventually
moved to Vegas, bought an expensive house with his winnings,
and is now "rolling in money." Perhaps the story
is fanciful, or perhaps he anticipated our method of playing
ties. We will never know. Ultimate Baccarat will, however,
show you one way to bet ties. Other system developers have
already seen its power, and one even declared it the greatest
gaming discovery since card counting, if not of all time.
One very well known competitor actually pirated the method
and sold it privately without my permission! Nevertheless,
I still possess the best method for playing ties in existence.

START WINNING

Ultimate Baccarat includes a complete
manual describing the greatest player/bank method ever discovered,
a method that wins flat betting through tens of thousands
of real casino decisions. This is the only method able to
achieve such a result. While flat betting will be the safest
way to play, those who want greater rewards for bigger risks
can use progression betting. The manual takes you step by
step through the bet selection method, showing you how and
why each bet is made as it is. In addition, the manual describes
my method for betting ties. This is the only known method
in which an mathematical advantage can be obtained on the
tie bet. The system goes beyond the mathematics, however,
and shows the best method for betting ties overall. Ultimate
Baccarat comes with free consultation to insure correct
and optimal play for all parts of the system. The method,
is of course, completely guaranteed: if you do not believe
the method will win, or that it will help you with your
own style of play, return it within the first ninety days
to receive a complete refund. Once you see it and play it,
you will be very impressed with its winning power! There
is, of course, more. While the method as it currently exists
is absolutely spectacular, certain improvements can still
be made, effectively supercharging it. These improvements
may increase the advantage another percentage point or two.
We will then truly be playing at an advantage the likes
of which has never been seen in the history of gaming. The
supercharged method will never be made public. What I will
do, however, is make it available for team play. This will
give others a chance to participate with the method and
will allow me to maintain control so that the method does
not get into the hands of too many people. Team play members
will be chosen from those who acquire Ultimate Baccarat.
Ultimate Baccarat sell for $495, plus $15 S/H at the present
time. The price will likely increase quickly to limit distribution.

How to Play PAI GOW POKER GAME? Poker Bonuses

2005-02-07T07:44:00.000-08:00

How to Play PAI GOW POKER GAME?

The player begins by placing a wager on the Paigow table. To do this, click on the chips at the bottom center of the game screen. The wager amount can be increased by left-clicking on the chips at the bottom center of the game screen. The wager amount is decreased by right-clicking on the chips. Once the wager is placed, you need to click on the "Deal" button. The dealer deals you seven cards face up and himself seven cards face down. One standard deck of 52 cards plus one joker is used.The joker is not wild but can be used only as an ace or as a card to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush or a royal flush. After you have received your seven cards, you must form two hands. Poker Bonuses The low hand must contain two cards and the high hand five cards. To do this, you must select the two cards that you wish to be in the low hand by left-clicking on them. Cards may be unselected by clicking them again. Selected cards will shift up out of the line of your cards on the game screen. Note: When forming hands, the rank of the five-card high hand must be higher than the rank of the two-card low hand. If this is not true a message box will be displayed asking you to re-split your hand.

Once you have set both hands, clicking on the "Done" button will end the hand. The dealer will split his cards according to fixed house rules and will then compare your hand rank with his own. To win the wager, your low and high hand must both rank higher than the dealer's low and high hand, respectively. If one of your hands is higher in rank than the dealer's and the other is lower or equal, this is a tie and your wager is returned. Otherwise, your player's wager is lost. If both hands are identical, the dealer also wins.The hand rankings are as follows (from highest to lowest): Hand Description Four aces + Joker A, A, A, A, Joker Royal FlushA, K, Q, J, 10 (all same suit) Straight Flush K, Q, J, 10, 9 (all same suit) to A, 2, 3, 4, 5 (all same suit) Four of a Kind Any four of the same number or face cards Full House[Three of a Kind] + [any pair] Flush Any combination of cards but all same suit Straight A, K, Q, J, 10 to A, 2, 3, 4, 5 Four of a Kind Any three of the same number or face cards Two Pairs [One Pair] + [One Pair] One Pair Any two of same number or face cards High Card None of the hands listed above.

Craps Betting Strategies Poker Bonuses

Craps Betting Strategies
Craps strategy:
There are many methods used to beat the game of online craps, but not a single one is capable of doing this in the long run. However, your long run craps strategy will help improve your play, reducing the overall exposure to the house edge and making it possible for your craps strategy to work. Maybe they'll work for you, or may be they won't - it's gambling after all. Poker bonuses. Only several of these methods are worth mentioning, as follows:
5-Count
This method aims at improving the quality of shooters you're betting on. It will help you select the possibly hot players while dumping the others. Here's how this craps strategy works: the new shooter is on the come-out roll. If he/she throws a point (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) that's Count 1. If not, you wait until the player does this and then start counting. Count 2, 3, 4 will follow after Count 1, no matter what the player rolls. To achieve Count 5 the player must throw again a point (the counting is stopped until this happens). The fact you reached Count 5 makes this player a hot one; therefore, you may begin betting. Poker bonuses
Hedge Betting
The Hedge Betting craps strategy consists of placing a bet that almost entirely cancels out another one. Almost any roll will bring you profit (a small one, but a profit) in online craps. You'll lose when the dice roll is not covered by the hedge bet. Besides the fact you get to play online craps longer because your bets have now a smaller risk, this method will substantially increase your comps (complimentaries offered by the online casino). Almost any bet can be turned into a hedge bet. For example, a pass line bet can be hedged from craps (2, 3, 12) by betting the proposition bet any craps. Moreover, you can make place bets before the come out and hedge them by the pass line bet.
Progressive Betting
This is a very simple craps strategy. Place your online craps bet. Each dice roll you win your wager you will increase the current bet by that initial one. Every time you lose you'll bet the current amount minus the initial one. As long as you are winning you will continue to raise your bets and when you start losing you'll bet the same bets but in a descending order.
Anything But Seven
Objective of this craps strategy: To win on any number thrown except a Seven. Don't place any bets on the Don't Pass or Pass Line, but wait until a point has been established. Place two units on 5, 6, & 8. Place one unit on the Field. Results: This method is a little riskier than the previous online craps strategies, since your total monetary risk is: $39.00. Therefore, it is suggested that you remove all bets after three rolls. Should the shooter hold the dice for at least three rolls, you will stand to win anything from $15.00-$27.00(more if the numbers 2 or 12 are rolled).

Tournament Poker Bonuses Rules

Tournament Poker Rules
poker bonuses
By participating in any tournament, you agree to abide by the rules and behave in a courteous manner. A violator may be verbally warned, suspended from play for a specified length of time, or disqualified from the tournament. Chips from a disqualified participant will be removed from play.
1. Whenever possible, all rules are the same as those that apply to live games.
2. Initial seating is determined by random draw or assignment. (For a one-table satellite event, cards to determine seating may be left faceup so the earlier entrants can pick their seat, since the button is assigned randomly.)
3. A change of seat is not allowed after play starts, except as assigned by the director.
4. The appropriate starting amount of chips will be placed on the table for each paid entrant at the beginning of the event, whether the person is present or not. Absent players will be dealt in, and all chips necessary for antes and blinds will be put into the pot.
5. If a paid entrant is absent at the start of an event, at some point an effort will be made to locate and contact the player. If the player requests the chips be left in place until arrival, the request will be honored. If the player is unable to be contacted, the chips may be removed from play at the discretion of the director anytime after a new betting level is begun or a half-hour has elapsed, whichever occurs first.
6. A starting stack of chips may be placed in a seat to accommodate late entrants (so all antes and blinds have been appropriately paid). An unsold seat will have such a stack removed at a time left to the discretion of the director.
7. Limits and blinds are raised at regularly scheduled intervals.
8. If there is a signal designating the end of a betting level, the new limits apply on the next deal. (A deal begins with the first riffle of the shuffle.)
9. The lowest denomination of chip in play will be removed from the table when it is no longer needed in the blind or ante structure. All lower-denomination chips that are of sufficient quantity for a new chip will be changed up directly. The method for removal of odd chips is to deal one card to a player for each odd chip possessed. Cards are dealt clockwise starting with the 1-seat, with each player receiving all cards before any cards are dealt to the next player. The player with the highest card by suit gets enough odd chips to exchange for one new chip, the second-highest card gets to exchange for the next chip, and so forth, until all the lower-denomination chips are exchanged. If an odd number of lower-denomination chips are left after this process, the player with the highest card remaining will receive a new chip if he has half or more of the quantity of lower-denomination chips needed, otherwise nothing.
10. An absent player is always dealt a hand, and will be put up for blinds, antes, and the forced bet if low.
11. A player must be present at the table to stop the action by calling "time."
12. If you are not present when it becomes your turn to act, your hand is dead. This includes situations in which a live blind is not present to act, since an absent player cannot exercise the option to raise.
13. As players are eliminated, tables are broken in a pre-set order, with players from the broken tables assigned to empty seats at other tables.
14. The number of players at each table will be kept reasonably balanced by the transfer of a player as needed. With more than six tables, table size will be kept within two players. With six tables or less, table size will be kept within one player.
15.In all events, there is a redraw for seating when the field is reduced to three tables, two tables, and one table. (Redrawing at three tables is not mandatory in small tournaments with only four or five starting tables.)
16. A player who declares all in and loses the pot, then discovers that one or more chips were hidden, is not entitled to benefit from this. That player is eliminated from the tournament if the opponent had sufficient chips to cover the hidden ones (A rebuy is okay if allowable by the rules of that event). If another deal has not yet started, the director may rule the chips belong to the opponent who won that pot, if that obviously would have happened with the chips out in plain view. If the next deal has started, the discovered chips are removed from the tournament.
17. If a player lacks sufficient chips for a blind or a forced bet, the player is entitled to get action on whatever amount of money remains. A player who posts a short blind and wins does not need to make up the blind.
18. All players must leave their seat immediately after being eliminated from an event.
19. Showing cards from a live hand during the action injures the rights of other players still competing in an event, who wish to see contestants eliminated. A player may not show any cards during a deal (unless the event has only two remaining players). If a player deliberately shows a card, that hand may be ruled dead and the player penalized.
20. Inappropriate behavior like throwing cards that go off the table may be punished with a penalty such as being dealt out for a length of time. A severe infraction such as abusive or disruptive behavior may be punished by eviction from the tournament.
21. The deck is not changed on request. Decks change when the dealers change, unless there is a damaged card.
22. In all tournament games using a dealer button, the starting position of the button is determined by dealing for the high card.
23. The dealer button remains in position until the appropriate blinds are taken. Players must post all blinds every round. Because of this, the button may stay in front of the same player for two consecutive hands.
24. New players are dealt in immediately unless they sit down in the small blind or button position. In these two cases, they must wait until the button passes.
25. In heads-up play with two blinds, the small blind is on the button.
26. At stud, if a downcard on the initial hand is dealt faceup, a misdeal is called.
27. If a player announces the intent to rebuy before cards are dealt, that player is playing behind and is obligated to make the rebuy.
28. All hands will be turned faceup whenever a player is all-in and betting action is complete.
29. If two (or more) players go broke during the same hand, the player starting the hand with the larger amount of money finishes in the higher tournament place for point and cash awards.
30. Management is not required to rule on any private deals, side bets, or redistribution of the prize pool among finalists.
31. Private agreements by remaining players in an event regarding distribution of the prize pool are not condoned. (However, if such an agreement is made, the director has the option of ensuring that it is carried out by paying those amounts.) Any private agreement that excludes one or more active competitors is improper by definition.
32. A tournament event is expected to be played until completion. A private agreement that removes all prize money from being at stake in the competition is unethical.
33. Management retains the right to cancel any event, or alter it in a manner fair to the players.

Poker Hand Rankings
poker bonuses
All poker hands, even if you are playing a game like Seven Card Stud, consist only of the best five cards available. Sixth cards are never used to break ties. Suits are never used to break ties (spades are not better than clubs). After all betting rounds are complete all players remaining in the hand showdown their cards (or discard them if they see a better hand has them beat). In order the poker hand rankings are:1. If a joker or wild cards are used, Five of a Kind is the best hand, with five aces (the four natural Aces plus the joker) is the best possible hand.2. If there is no joker in play, the best possible hand is a Straight Flush: five consecutive cards of the same suit. ("Suits" are spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds.) The highest possible straight flush is a Royal Flush. A Royal Flush includes of Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten of the same suit.3. Four of a Kind. Four cards of the same rank, for example four kings, plus any fifth card. As always, higher ranks are better -- four tens would beat four sixes.4. Full House. Three cards of the same rank, with a pair of another rank. For example, KKK33. The higher ranking three cards determines which full house beats another -- 77766 beats 222AA.5. Flush. Five cards of the same suit. For example, the Ace, Queen, Nine, Seven and Three of clubs. When comparing flushes, they are ranked from the top card on down. A9732 defeats KQJ85, while a QJ987 flush defeats a QJ983 one. If two flushes have exactly the same cards, like AJ976 of spades versus AJ976 of hearts, this is a tie and a pot would be split.6. Straight. Five sequential cards of different suits. For example, 98765. When two straights are shown down, the highest card determines the winner -- KQJT9 defeats 87654. An Ace can be used to make either a "Broadway" straight of AKQJT or a "wheel" straight of 5432A. "Around the corner" straights like 32AKQ are not allowed.7. Three of a Kind. Three cards of the same rank, like 888 with two unpaired cards. As always, a higher ranked three of a kind defeats a lower ranked three of a kind -- 99932 beats 666AK. In flop games it is possible for both players to have the same three of a kind, in which case the two unrelated "kicker" cards would determine the winner -- QQQ92 would defeat QQQ87. If the two hands are identical, the pot is split.8. Two Pair. Two cards of one rank, two cards of another rank and a kicker of a third rank. For example JJ882. KK332 defeats QQJJ9. 99554 defeats 9933A. 7766A defeats 7766Q. Two hands of the same ranks, like KKQQ5 versus KKQQ5 split the pot.9. One Pair. Two cards of the same rank, and three unrelated cards. For example, JJK73. A higher pair defeats a lower pair. When players have the same pair, the unrelated "kicker" cards are valued in order, so 99Q32 defeats 99765.10. No Pair, High Card. A hand with no pair or any of the other ranking values above. When comparing no pair hands, the highest card determines the winner, using each card in order if necessary, so AKQ96 defeats AKQ87.
