H.O.R.S.E.

H.O.R.S.E. is a fixed-rotation mixed game that cycles through five variants. It tests your proficiency across multiple disciplines -- you cannot just be good at one game.

The Five Games

H

Texas Hold'em

Fixed-limit. Two hole cards, five community cards. Best five-card hand wins.

O

Omaha Hi-Lo (Omaha/8)

Fixed-limit. Must use exactly 2 hole cards. Pot splits between best high and qualifying low (8 or better).

R

Razz

Seven Card Stud for low. Aces are low, straights and flushes don't count. A-2-3-4-5 is the nut low.

S

Seven Card Stud

No community cards. Antes, bring-in, four up-cards, three down-cards. Best five of seven wins.

E

Stud Hi-Lo (Stud/8)

Like Stud but pot splits between best high and qualifying low (8 or better).

Rotation

Games rotate after a fixed number of hands or after the dealer button completes a full orbit, depending on table configuration. The current game is always shown prominently in the SPN interface.

On SPN

H.O.R.S.E. tables rotate automatically. All game-specific rules (bring-ins, low qualifiers, the two-card Omaha rule) are enforced by the platform. The game indicator updates before each new round.
