The first player to receive a card is the player immediately to the left of the player who has the dealer button. The last player to receive cards is the player assigned the dealer button. After each player has received two cards, there is a betting round and the players may bet an amount not more than the posted table limit. The player to the left of the button opens and each active player may call, raise, or fold. Any player who folds at this point forfeits the player's HPS side bet as a losing wager;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (3)&nbsp;&nbsp;The dealer deals three community cards from the deck and turns the cards face upward, in the center of the table. Community cards are common to the hand of every active player in the pot;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (4)&nbsp;&nbsp;After the flop. the betting continues for another round. The player sitting to the left of the player assigned the dealer button opens. After the opening, each active player may call, raise, or fold. Any player who folds at this point, except in &quot;heads up&quot; play, forfeits the player's HPS side bet as a losing wager;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (5)&nbsp;&nbsp;The dealer deals the fourth community card (turn card) face upward in the center of the table. Another betting round occurs. Any player who folds at this point, except in &quot;heads up&quot; play, forfeits the player's HPS side bet as a losing wager. The dealer deals the fifth and final community card (river card) face upward in the center of the table for the final betting round. If there are two or more players remaining in the game after all bets are made, there is a showdown; and</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (6)&nbsp;&nbsp;In Texas Hold'em, the highest hand wins the pot. In Hot Poker Spot achieving the highest possible hand is not a requirement for winning the HPS side bet. To qualify for payout, a player must call the final bet, achieve a straight or better using the two hole cards and any three of the five community cards, and expose the hole cards for dealer verification. The only players folding at any point after the flop who are eligible for a HPS payout are those players in &quot;heads up&quot; play. A folding player must achieve a qualifying hand of a straight or higher. All qualifying hands must be exposed for dealer verification as a condition of payout.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='margin-left:9.9pt;border-collapse:collapse;border:none'> <tr> <td width=247 colspan=2 valign=top style='width:185.05pt;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;
