How to Play Poker Flips at WPT Global

WPT Global Poker Flips are a break from the norm. They put your picking skills, rather than your poker face, to the test. So, if you want a bit of fun in between tournaments or some time away from cash games, take a look inside the Poker Flips lobby.

Poker Flips is a casino-style heads-up showdown that puts your picking skills to the test. Similar to roulette, WPT Global Poker Flips requires you to predict the outcome of a Texas Hold’em hand (see video below).

Standing on one side of the gameboard is the Cowboy. On the other is the Bull. Your job is to pick a winner. Alternatively, if you think the poker gods are in a playful mood, you can bet on a tie.

Whatever way you sway, the aim remains the same: bet on the outcome. Once you’ve done that, each player receives two hole cards before five community cards are dealt.

If you’ve placed a winning bet, you’ll receive a payout. If not, it’s on to the next showdown. Flips are fast-paced and unpredictable, which is what makes them an interesting mix of poker and casino gaming.

Flips aren’t like regular online No-Limit Hold’em games. You don’t get to control the action, make bluffs, or fold when an opponent starts betting aggressively.

Instead, you’re watching from the rail. It’s almost the same as watching WPT Ambassador Phil Ivey doing his thing on the final table of a major poker tournament.

You get to enjoy the action from a distance, but you can’t make decisions for Ivey. The nice thing about Poker Flips, however, is that you’ve got skin in the game.

Each bet you make has the potential to return a prize. That prize comes in the form of Gold Coins. Why are you paid in Gold Coins and not USD? Because that’s the native currency of this casino-style prediction game.

All cash balances are converted to Gold Coins when you open a new Poker Flips online game. Gold Coins don’t have a fixed value. The exchange rate fluctuates, but you don’t need to worry about that. Our software does the conversion automatically when you open the game.

Then, once you’re ready to return to our poker lobby, the Gold Coins are exchanged for USD. It’s a simple and swift process that allows you to play Poker Flips via your desktop or mobile in a safe, secure way.

You’ve got 15 seconds to place a bet, so you can’t hang around if you want to speculate on the next Poker Flips hand. Here’s how to ante up and make your pick:

Winning bets are automatically credited to your balance. Then, once you’re finished, Gold Coins get converted back to US dollars based on the current exchange rate.
