Read full description

Hold'em Dice is a multi player Texas Hold'em tournament played with dice among players on internet connected iPhones. The tournament Buy In is 20 times the small blind ante amount in Hold'em Dollars. Each player initially receives a stake of 100 Hold'em Dollars complimentary. If your current stake is not sufficient to cover the Buy In, you can purchase additional Hold'em Dollars. After the usual antes, each player rolls two Hole dice, that are not visible to other players. Betting starts. After betting the button player rolls the three Flop dice, the Turn and River dice, each visible on each player's iPhone. There is betting after each roll. The high hand, using your two Hole dice and any three of the other five public dice, wins. The tournament, a series of games, continues until one player has won the Buy In stakes of all players.
