Las Vegas is the city of sin but it's the city of crunching numbers
too. Texas Hold 'em, black jack, craps, are all games based on odds. If there
is a card game, you can bet it is in one of the casinos on the strip. It is no
comparison that Texas hold 'em is one of the most popular poker games in the
world. With its establishment, that doesn't mean people aren't looking at other
poker game concepts to indulge in. The Chinese cultures are very fond of poker
traditions and have adopted multiple versions of he gambling game.
Lately there has been a game on the rise where a player can play
multiple hands and rack up points, or cash. Open Face Poker (OFC) is drawing
more and more attention to major gaming brands. It is a game for those high
spenders looking for some added entertainment and suspense. Players
simultaneously pick up 13 cards from a single deck. They then need to make
three hands from those thirteen cards marking each one their “top,” middle,”
and “bottom.” The top and middle hands consist of 5 cards, while the bottom
hand is only three. That equals thirteen, right? Just making sure you’re paying
attention.
Each player’s hands are scored against each other. The top hand of
player one versus the top hand of player to, so on and so forth. Po9ints will be
given or taken away depending on how it measures up.
If you would like to see the statistics behind the madness, or want
to give it a try your self, check out Poker News for the complete guide on this uprising table game.
This game has widely been recognized across the Asian continent and
has been growing popularity in the United States as well. There are OFC
competitions and interviews of big time players expressing their interest in
the game.
Now, if you were anything like me when I turned 21, you wouldn’t catch
me at a table game. The dealers, the rules and that pit boss always giving you the
stink eye was all very intimidating for me. You have to go with someone who
knows the system so you feel more comfortable. If you don’t have anyone to go
with, take a chance. The dealers want you to win because they want you to tip
them, so they can be very helpful. Before jumping straight into OFC, I suggest
you check out the Texas Hold’em table, Baccarat or regular Chinese poker.
