The Poker Flips side-betting game is quite simple. Participants do not play any poker; instead, they place real money bets on the outcome of the hand. They can bet whether Cowboy wins, Bull wins, or if the characters tie. The two characters in the game are not actual users but computer-generated players.
Participants can also place bets on what the winning hand would be and what type of hole cards have been dealt. Players are rewarded based on each bet’s odds, just like in a roulette casino game. For each outcome, the payouts are different.
