Overview

Omaha follows the same sequence as Texas Hold’em (flop, turn, river), but each player gets four hole cards. The key rule: your final hand must use exactly two hole cards and three community cards.

With more cards in hand, strong combinations come up more often and pots are frequently more contested. Omaha Hi/Lo splits the pot between the best high hand and the best qualifying low hand.

Rules and how it works

  • Each player gets 4 hole cards.
  • Five community cards are revealed in three stages, with a betting round at each step.
  • Your final hand combines exactly 2 hole cards and 3 community cards.
  • In Hi/Lo, the pot can be split between the best high hand and the best low hand.

Minimum age

In Québec, buying lottery tickets and taking part in games of chance is restricted to people 18 and over.
