Tequila Poker — A Unique Game for Poker Lovers
The name Tequila Poker might make you think it has something to do with a drink — but it's actually a refined card game. Using familiar poker hand rankings, it gives you two different ways to win with just 4 cards. 999tka offers a live version of this game, complete with real cards, a real dealer, and a live broadcast.
Many players are familiar with Texas Hold'em or Caribbean Stud but have never tried Tequila Poker. The game uses a standard 52-card deck. You start by seeing 4 open cards, then decide which type of bet to continue with. What makes it especially exciting is the chance to win on two separate outcomes in a single round.

How Does Tequila Poker Work?
The game begins with two equal bets from the player — the Ante Bet and the Aces Up Bet. Both bets must be for the same amount. Once the bets are placed, the dealer deals four cards face up for everyone to see. Based on these four cards, the player chooses one of three options.
Option 1: Tequila Play — place an additional bet equal to your Ante and receive two more cards, then build the best 5-card poker hand possible. Option 2: High Tequila Play — place the same additional bet and receive two more cards, but this time the payout is based on the combined value of your best 4 highest-ranking cards. Option 3: Fold — surrender both bets.
What Is the Aces Up Bet?
Aces Up is a special side bet in Tequila Poker, evaluated solely on your initial 4-card hand. If those 4 cards contain one or more Aces, or form a qualifying poker hand above a set threshold, the Aces Up bet wins. This bet is completely independent of the outcome of your Tequila Play or High Tequila Play.
This means in a single round, you can lose the main game yet still win the Aces Up bet — or win both. These two independent winning opportunities are what set the 999tka Tequila Poker table apart from other card games.

Tips on Choosing the Right Bet
When to Choose Tequila Play
When your first 4 cards already show potential for a Straight or Flush — especially three cards of the same suit or three consecutive cards. Three of a Kind or Two Pair can also make Tequila Play a profitable choice.
When Is High Tequila Play a Good Choice?
When your first 4 cards are high in value — especially with multiple Aces, Kings, or Queens. If the total value of all 4 cards is 36 or above, consider going for High Tequila.
When Is It Smart to Fold?
When all 4 cards are completely random, low in value, and show no poker potential — it's best to Fold and forfeit both the Ante and Aces Up bets. However, if there's an Ace for the Aces Up, staying in the game is worth considering.
Always Keep an Eye on Aces Up
Even if you Fold in the main game, your Aces Up bet is settled separately. If your first 4 cards contain a Pair of Aces or better, Aces Up wins — so even a loss in the main game can be offset by your Aces Up bet.
What Makes 999tka Tequila Poker Different
On many online platforms, Tequila Poker is only available as an RNG (Random Number Generator) software game. At 999tka, you can play with a live dealer — a real person dealing actual cards, with the entire session streamed live in HD.
Easy to Learn with Familiar Poker Rules
For anyone who already knows poker, Tequila Poker is very easy to pick up. Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind — all the familiar hands are ranked in exactly the same order. The only difference is that you start with 4 cards instead of 5, then add 2 more to build your best 5-card hand.
In the 999tka interface, potential hands are highlighted as cards are dealt, so even new players can make quick, confident decisions.

Tequila Poker vs. Other Card Games
Caribbean Stud Poker pits your hand against the dealer's alone. Three Card Poker keeps things minimal with just 3 cards. Tequila Poker sits right between the two — you choose the best 5 cards from 6, while also competing on a High Tequila points hand. That combination is exactly what makes 999tka's Tequila Poker so appealing to players.
