Above is a picture of the Royal Card Club Lobby. The top rows in black text represent real money Texas Holdem poker tables. The bottom rows in blue text represent play money Texas Holdem Tables, which is where you will begin your learning experience.

  • First, select a “Play0.50/1″ Table with 10/10 Players and NL (no limit).
  • Click on the WAITING LIST button, and hit OK when the pop-up appears.


  • Take a seat when it becomes available. Set Amount to 20.
    • Note that 20 represents 20 times the Big Blind


Before starting, remember to change the following poker table options:

  • Select MENU > OPTIONS > POKER TABLE OPTIONS.
    • Check all FOUR boxes and select either SMALL or MINI VIEW.
  • Now you are ready to practice.
    • When it is your turn to act, you can either choose to FOLD your hand, CALL/CHECK a bet, or Raise/Re-Raisethe pot.
    • When raising, you can either type in an exact amount (currently 22.50 on the image shown above) or drag the bar to the desired amount, followed by clicking the RAISE button.
    • When going ALL-IN, drag the bar all the way to the right. Remember, you need to click the RAISE button AFTER dragging the bar.


Play until you feel comfortable with the mechanics of online Texas Holdem poker.

  • Once you feel comfortable with one table, try playing two, three, or even four tables at once. Our advanced members play up to 12 tables simultaneously.
