About ten gamblers are allowed to take part in the game. But this type of poker differs in the amount of pocket cards that are given to each participant. Here players get 4 cards instead of 2 in Texas Holdem.

The dealer gives each player five community cards. These community cards together with pocket cards are used to create the best poker hand. Players have to use 2 pocket cards with 3 community cards for the best hand. As there are additional cards to be used, poker hands in Omaha Poker are considered to be stronger than those of other types of casino poker games.
