Live Poker at Paddy Power Games

Like all table games, poker has been an instant hit in live casinos. The core difference between our live poker games and traditional poker is that these games are played against the house. The aim is usually to beat the hand of the dealer - there’s no bluffing at these tables, just one poker hand against another.

Real-time gaming is streamed with the help of friendly and professional dealers through high-definition video feed.  You've got low house edges, side bets, and, on some games, even progressive jackpots. So come and join the fast action and engaging gameplay: there are plenty of options to choose from at Paddy Power.

Featured Live Poker Games

Paddy Power hosts a wide selection of live poker games. Each of these offers a different style of gameplay, based around a bunch of different poker originals. Take a look at the following options:

Fit for all budgets, this popular poker variant pits your 5-card hand against that of the dealer. The better your hand, the better the payouts. The progressive jackpots will only add to the anticipation! Call or fold, it's up to you to decide! Remember, the dealer needs to qualify for the best payouts.

Did you know it’s possible to play video poker live? Each player shares the initial cards, for multiple hands if they so choose, thereafter making their decisions individually. You can play up to one hundred hands per round, all you need to do is choose which cards to hold and which to discard!

Place a side bet or play your hand against the dealer. It's also got the characteristic Playtech progressive jackpot. The better paytable comes with a higher risk, but it’s entirely optional. May the best 5-card hand win!

Not sure how to play your hand? Here’s your choice in Live Bet on Poker: simply decide which hand to bet on. There are six hands pitted against each other, with several betting rounds. This poker game uses Texas Hold’em as its inspiration. If you’re looking for a new take on poker with community cards, this is it!

Another interesting mix of influences from Playtech, this time with game shows and video poker. Specific poker hands can trigger an additional round, where the wins reach 2000x the bet. This one is for the players who aren’t satisfied with standard payouts.
