How to start playing poker at Mr Bet New Zealand
While each poker variation has unique rules, the basic gameplay is the same. Check for any regulations specific to the version you’re playing. The object is always to achieve a stronger hand than your opponents, become the champion, and win the pot.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on playing one of the simplest forms of poker, Texas hold ’em:
- Place your bet.
- Check the two face-down cards you receive from the dealer and prepare for the first round of betting. Based on your hand, choose from one of the following options:
- “Check” by declining to make the first bet.
- “Call” by matching another player’s wager.
- “Fold” by leaving the game if you feel your cards can’t win.
Once another player makes the first bet, you must choose to call or fold.
- The dealer shows the poker room the three community cards, commonly called ‘the flop’. You have a better idea of the strength of your hand, and the next round of betting starts.
- The dealer shows the fourth community card, ‘the turn’, followed by a round of betting.
- The dealer reveals the final card, ‘the river’. If you’re still in the game, you know how strong your hand is. The last betting round takes place.
- All remaining players show their hands to see who wins.
Don’t pack a sad if you have to fold early. It’s part of the game—and we’ve all been there before. Focus on having fun and try another hand when you’re ready.
Types of poker available at our casino
To keep our Kiwi customers returning to our tables, we offer a range of New Zealand casino games that are sweet as. Here are a few of the poker options at Mr Bet New Zealand:
Texas hold ’em poker
Texas hold ‘em is one of our most popular poker formats. The game begins with each player receiving two cards while five community options are placed face-up on the table. All players must use a combination of these seven cards to create the best possible poker hand.
Omaha poker
Omaha poker is action-packed. The rules and gameplay are similar to Texas hold ‘em, with one distinction: each player receives four cards instead of two. You must create your final hand using two of your cards and three community ones.
Seven-card stud poker
Seven-card stud is a more traditional form of online poker in NZ. Each player receives seven cards: three face-down and four face-up. Choose your strongest five-card combination for the final showdown.

Tips for playing online poker
Poker players of all experience levels naturally look for the best ways to maintain an edge over their opponents. To enhance your gameplay, arm yourself with some basic poker strategies.
While Mr Bet believes that poker is a sport, it’s also a game of luck. Remember that you’re never guaranteed to win.
Here are four tips to help you get ahead of the pack:
- Choose the right starting hands: We know how tempting it is to play every hand you receive, but it’s better to be selective. Fold on meagre cards that are less likely to beat the other players.
- Observe the other players: In poker, you’re up against your fellow players instead of the dealer. Watch how they bet and analyse their behaviour to predict their moves. Then, use your knowledge to your advantage.
- Begin with a single table: One of the best things about poker games online is playing multiple tables at once. However, we recommend starting slow with a single one to avoid getting overwhelmed. When you feel confident, gradually add more rooms.
- Only play if you’re up to it: Online poker should be a fun experience. If frustration builds up, it’s better to quit the game, play something else, and try another time.
