ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – June 18, 2009 - Resorts Casino Hotel is adding a new game to its already action-packed casino. Get ready for Flop Poker, the latest in an exciting line of live Poker offerings at Resorts, set to launch Friday, June 26.

Easy to learn and fun to play, Flop Poker is a five-card game that pits players against a pay table. Players get paid for having a pair of jacks or better. Adding to the excitement is a bonus feature allowing for a second way to win: the highest-ranking poker hand on the table wins the entire table’s pot.

The game, which uses six cards and is played with a standard 52-card deck, provides nonstop action that card-lovers of all kinds will love. Plus, it’s fun for Poker enthusiasts and those new to the game. Like any Poker game, Flop Poker begins with an ante wager. Then players make a pot wager (the table minimum), after which they receive three cards. At this point the player can look at his or her card and decide whether or not to continue. Those who continue, place a flop wager (equal to the ante), those who don’t wish to continue must surrender their ante. However they will be able to keep their cards and play for the pot.

After all flop wagers are placed—and any forfeited ante wagers are collected—the dealer will expose the three community flop cards. Now players make their best five-card poker hand using their three cards and any two of the community FLOP cards. Players must have a pair of jacks or better to win the ante and flop wagers. The pot will be awarded to the highest-ranking poker hand on the table. Ante always pays 1 to 1.
