by placing a “Call” bet or fold the hand. The Dealer will then deal another single card face up to each Player in their player position. The Player will decide either to place a “River” wager or to fold the hand. The Dealer will then deal 1 card face up in the center of the table as a community card for all Players to use. The Dealer will then reveal the players cards and settle the casino wager as the player hand is revealed.  Ante Bet: The ‘Ante” bet is made to start the game.
