Bavarian Texas Hold'em
A house-banked Hold'em variant dealt across the nine Bavarian state casinos, played against the dealer from a low minimum stake with an optional side bet, alongside but separate from the real cash games and tournaments.
Frequently asked questions
What is Bavarian Texas Hold'em?
A house-banked Hold'em table game dealt across the nine Bavarian state casinos. Every player plays against the bank rather than each other, minimums are low — typically €5 up to a €500 maximum — and most houses attach a voluntary bonus side bet.
Is it the same as a poker cash game?
No, and the distinction matters when reading a German casino's game page. 'Poker' in the list often means this house game. The player-versus-player offer is separate and much thinner — only some of the nine houses run scheduled ring games, several only dealing cash after a tournament finishes.
Are there related variants?
Bad Füssing also deals Bavarian Stud Poker on the same house-banked principle. Our German venue pages say which houses run real cash games and when.
