Tequila Poker is an unusual poker based online casino game that offers players a critical choice. It is played with a single standard card deck. After you place the ante wager four cards are dealt face up. Based on these cards you have to decide whether to play High Tequila or Tequila Poker. You can also fold, but then you will lose the ante wager. If you continue playing, you will have to place a main bet equal to the ante bet. Two more cards will be dealt face up. The final five-card hand is made based on the game option chosen. Tequila Poker can be played at all Playtech online casinos like Mansion Casino and Omni Casino.

In High Tequila you win if the hand value of the final hand is 46 or more. The cards are valued in a way similar to blackjack. The number cards have a value equal to their face value, the picture cards have a value of 10, and the ace has a value of 11. The final hand consists of the five cards with the highest value. If the hand value is less than 46 then both bets lose. If the hand value is 46 or more then the ante bet pays even money and the main bet pays as per a payout table. The highest payout for a hand value of 54 is 200 to 1. In Tequila Poker, the highest ranking five-card poker hand is made. You win if you hold at least a pair of aces. If the hand is of a lower ranking than this, then both bets lose. For a winning hand the ante bet pays even money and the main bet pays according to a payout table. The highest payout is 200 to 1 for a royal flush.
